Description
WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Email Reminder helps store owners recover sales when shoppers leave items in their cart. It records every abandoned cart and lets store owners send timely follow up reminders.
Each abandoned cart includes customer details, cart items, and other order information. This makes it easy to see what a shopper left behind before sending a follow up email.
Create multiple follow up emails with different schedules and templates. Emails can be sent automatically through cron or manually whenever needed.
When Twilio is connected, registered customers also receive an SMS with each follow up email. Sending reminders through both email and SMS gives customers another chance to return and complete their purchase.
Built in reports show abandoned carts, sent emails, and recovered carts by week, month, or a selected date range. As a result, store owners can see what works and improve future recovery campaigns.
Additionally, if you want customers to save products for future purchases, you may also like Multiple Wishlists for WooCommerce.

Why Do We Need WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Email Reminder?
WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Email Reminder helps recover sales from shoppers who leave before placing an order.
WooCommerce does not track left carts or save guest emails by default. It also cannot send follow up reminders automatically. Store owners have little visibility into lost checkouts and no built in recovery workflow.
Automated reminders fix this gap. Email and SMS follow ups reach customers at the right moment, a coupon adds extra incentive, and reminders stop automatically once an order is placed, so customers do not receive a follow up for a purchase they already completed.
In practice, stores that follow up on abandoned carts with a well timed reminder and a small incentive often recover a meaningful share of sales that would otherwise be missed.
Furthermore, if the store accepts customer price negotiations, Quote System for WooCommerce can help convert hesitant shoppers into paying customers.
Use Cases
Seasonal Sales and Promotions
During high traffic sales periods, cart abandonment spikes. Automated reminders help recover more of that traffic without extra manual work.
Subscription and Repeat Purchase Stores
Stores with returning customers can use SMS reminders to catch shoppers who are quick to browse but slow to check out.
High Value Product Stores
Shoppers often take longer to buy expensive products. A follow up email or manual reminder can bring them back.
Growing Online Stores
New stores can use reports to see where shoppers leave the checkout. They can also test coupons to find what brings customers back.
