WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Recovery
Send reminders to customers with items in cart but no purchase, with one-click checkout.
Nora tracks carts for 30+ minutes, then sends a reminder email with cart contents and a direct checkout link. Follows up on carts that would otherwise go silent.
Most carts never reach checkout, and without a follow-up nothing happens to them at all. This automation monitors WooCommerce carts and, if an item sits for more than 30 minutes without checkout, Nora sends a reminder email showing exactly what they left behind. The email includes: product images and descriptions, prices, a summary of the total due, and a one-click link to resume checkout (pre-populated with their items, no re-entry needed). The tone is helpful, not pushy ('Forgot something? Your cart is waiting.'). If the customer still doesn't convert, Nora sends a second email 2 days later with a limited-time discount (e.g., 'Complete your order by Friday for 10% off'). For high-value carts (e.g., over $100), Nora can auto-flag for a salesperson to reach out directly. Some of those shoppers were interrupted rather than uninterested, and a reminder is the only thing that brings them back. A small discount on the second email gives the undecided ones a reason to finish now.
Runs 30 minutes post-cart-abandon, then 2 days later using WooCommerce and Gmail, run by your Sales Manager.
