Recover sales when shoppers leave products in their carts

A generic reminder that only highlights what a shopper left in their cart rarely brings them back. With Klaviyo, you can automate multi-step, cross-channel recovery flows, personalized to each shopper’s cart and the product they’re most likely to buy next.

Abandoned cart recovery FAQs

Learn how Klaviyo detects abandoned carts in real time and runs personalized recovery flows to help you win the sale back.

What triggers an abandoned cart email?

An abandoned cart email is triggered a set amount of time after a shopper adds an item to their cart and leaves your site without checking out. Klaviyo records that event on the shopper’s profile in real time, so the recovery flow starts while intent is still high.

How many abandoned cart emails should I send?

Try sending a short series of 2–3 messages over a few days. In Klaviyo, you build the full sequence as one flow, controlling the delay between each send, when to add an incentive, and for whom, all from a single visual editor.

What is the best abandoned cart email?

The strongest cart emails show the products the customer left behind and give them a clear path back to check-out. Klaviyo makes it easy to personalize each message to the shopper's cart and coordinate across channels, like following an unopened email with a text message.

How do I set up an abandoned cart flow quickly?

Composer builds a complete cart recovery flow based on your store data and a single prompt, assembling the trigger, timing, and messages for your review. It can also audit a live flow and recommend what to improve.
