In e-commerce, 70% of users abandon their shopping carts without completing the purchase. However, it’s possible to recover these losses with effective strategies. Platforms with powerful infrastructures like Shopify offer many tools to streamline this process. Here are some actionable strategies to turn abandoned carts into sales:
1.Remind with Automated Email Series
With Shopify’s “Abandoned Checkout Recovery” feature, you can send automated emails to customers who abandoned their carts. The first email can be sent 1 hour after abandonment, the second at 12 hours, and the third at 24 hours. These emails should include product images, price information, and a strong call-to-action.
2. Increase Impact with Personalization
Emails that begin with the customer’s name and offer product-specific recommendations significantly boost conversion rates. For example: “Elif, you won’t want to miss out on this stylish bag!”
3. Define Time-Limited Discount Codes
Offers that create a sense of urgency, such as “10% off for the next 24 hours,” prompt customers to take action. Shopify’s discount code module makes it easy to integrate these campaigns.
4. Send SMS and Push Notifications
With Shopify apps like SMSBump and PushOwl, you can send reminder SMS or notifications to customers. These methods are especially effective for mobile users.
5.Use Retargeting Ads
By integrating Meta Pixel with Shopify, you can show special ads to abandoned cart users on Facebook and Instagram. It’s important to highlight the products in the cart and any special offers in the visuals.
6. Live Support and Chatbot Integration
Customers sometimes abandon their purchase due to a lack of trust or information at the final step. By integrating live support or a chatbot into your Shopify store, you can address instant queries and guide them towards completing the sale..
7. Highlight Trust Elements on the Cart Page
Trust messages like “100% secure payment,” “Free returns,” and “Package tracking guarantee” positively impact the customer’s decision-making process. These elements should definitely be present on the cart and checkout pages.
Abandoned carts can be recovered with well-structured strategies. With the automation, personalization tools, and marketing integrations offered by Shopify, recovering lost sales has become much easier.
