The Recovery Sequence

Three emails, sent automatically with perfect timing. Each escalates the incentive — starting gentle, then offering a discount, then giving a final deadline. Average recovery rate with a 3-email sequence: 5–15% of abandoned carts.

Email 1 — 1 hour after abandonment

Subject: "You left something behind." — A friendly reminder that their cart is saved, with a direct link back to checkout. No pressure, no discount yet. Highest open rate of the three.

No discount

Email 2 — 24 hours after abandonment

Subject: "Still thinking it over? Here's 5% off." — Introduces the first discount incentive. Expires in 48 hours to create urgency. You customise the discount code to match one you've created in your store.

5% off (COMEBACK5)

Email 3 — 72 hours after abandonment

Subject: "Last chance — 10% off before your cart expires." — The final offer. Biggest discount, strong urgency. After this, the cart is marked complete in Google Sheets. No more emails sent.

10% off (SAVE10)

Frequently Asked Questions

What ecommerce platforms does this work with?

Shopify (Settings > Notifications > Webhooks, event: Checkout Abandoned) and WooCommerce (via REST API or Abandoned Cart plugin). Any other platform that can POST abandoned cart data as JSON also works — the normalisation code handles the field mapping.

When are the three recovery emails sent?

Email 1: 1 hour after abandonment — gentle reminder, no discount. Email 2: 24 hours after — 5% off code (you customise the code). Email 3: 72 hours after — 10% final offer code. All timings and copy are fully editable in the workflow.

How do I set up the discount codes?

Create two discount codes in Shopify Admin or WooCommerce before activating the workflow. Set them to "Multiple uses" with no expiry. Then update the COMEBACK5 and SAVE10 references in the Email 2 and Email 3 nodes with your actual codes. The setup guide walks through this.

Does this stop sending if the customer buys?

Out of the box, all three emails send regardless of purchase. You can add an optional purchase check before Email 2 and Email 3 by querying the Shopify Orders API — the setup guide explains this optional step. Most stores find the full 3-email sequence still performs well, as buyers who purchase after Email 1 simply delete the remaining emails.

Why use this instead of Klaviyo?

Klaviyo charges $45/month ($540/year) for the plan that includes abandoned cart flows. This template does the same job for a one-time $69. No per-contact fees, no monthly bills. The only trade-off is Klaviyo has more advanced segmentation — but for abandoned cart recovery, this template handles the core job at a fraction of the cost.

What is logged to Google Sheets?

Every abandoned cart creates a row with: Cart ID, customer email, customer name, cart total, items, checkout URL, time of abandonment, recovery status, and sequence completion timestamp. You get a full dashboard showing cart value at risk, recovery rate, and which discount tier converts most customers.
