Use Abandoned Carts to review captured carts that have not completed checkout after the selected time.
Step 1: Find a cart
- Open Abandoned Carts under Orders.
- Set Abandoned After. Example: 30 minutes.
- Filter by recovery Status, Source or WhatsApp Status.
- Search by name, phone or visitor details.
- Check the items and cart value.
Understand the checkout stage
- Address pending: address details need attention.
- Shipping pending: the shipping step is incomplete.
- Payment pending: the payment step is incomplete.
- Ask about the actual issue before offering a discount.
Step 2: Follow up if appropriate
- Use the cart’s WhatsApp recovery action when a valid phone number exists.
- Check the customer context and permission to contact them.
- Opening the action marks the cart Contacted and opens WhatsApp.
- It does not prove a message was sent.
- Review the message before sending and respect opt-outs.
Step 3: Record the result
- Use New, Contacted or Recovered to reflect what happened.
- Check Orders to confirm a completed sale.
- Cart value is a possible sale, not money collected.
- Do not assume an automatic reminder was sent.
If a cart is missing
- Clear filters and check Abandoned After.
- Some sessions have no captured phone or name.
- A recovery action cannot contact a number that was never provided.
