Enable Email Abandoned Cart Recovery

When you enable the email cart abandonment automation, Fastr will send anyone who proceeds to checkout without completing it in your store an automatic email flow aimed at getting them back to complete the purchase.

You can enable the automation in one of 2 ways:

In the dashboard, click Get Started under Abandoned Cart Emails



In the left bar menu, navigate to Email - Abandoned Carts

Edit abandoned cart emails

By default, the cart abandonment flow has 3 emails, sent progressively to customers, until they complete their purchase, you can add more emails if you like.

You can activate the entire flow, or just some of the messages in it, according to your needs.

Click the Edit button for the email you want to edit (start with the first email in the flow)



You will be directed to the email editing page

Text Editor

In this part, you can edit the content of your email, and see your changes automatically applied to the right of the screen, in the preview section.
Here you will have access to four sections for control:

1. Discount

You will have access to two discount options, automatic and pre-made. An automatic discount will be generated automatically, you only need to specify the amount of the discount. Pre-made discount you need to create in your Shopify admin.



If you do not want to offer any discount, then simply select pre-made and do not insert anything into the discount field.
