WhatsApp Cart Reminders | Abandoned Cart Messages - Avosist

CART RECOVERY

WhatsApp Cart Reminders one reminder for an unfinished cart, results counted separately.

When a customer leaves a cart unfinished in your store, Avosist sends one reminder by approved WhatsApp template after the waiting time you set. The message holds the products in the cart, the total, a link back to the cart and, if you wish, a coupon. The feature works with ikas, Shopify and Ticimax stores, when it is enabled in your plan.

No credit card needed. Before going live you can write to the assistant as a customer on the test screen in the panel.

IN SHORT

What is a cart reminder?

A cart reminder (abandoned cart message) is the reminder sent to a customer who added products to the cart in a store and left without completing the order. The aim is to give a customer who was undecided or interrupted a short way back to the cart.

In Avosist the reminder goes out on WhatsApp, with a template message approved by Meta, and is sent once per cart. It is sent only to customers for whom your store reports marketing consent; the customer can stop these messages with one tap.

SETUP

How do you set up cart reminders?

The Cart Recovery screen in the panel is set up in four steps; you follow the results on the fifth tab.

  1. Choose your store and the sending time

    Choose your connected ikas, Shopify or Ticimax store and the WhatsApp account the message will go from. Set how long after the cart is left unfinished (from 15 minutes to 7 days) and between which hours of the day it is sent.

  2. Prepare the message

    You can have Avosist write the message, write its opening yourself or use one of your approved templates. You drag the blocks into order: customer name, products in the cart, cart total, product photo, cart link and coupon.

  3. Check and go live

    The template is sent to Meta for approval; once it is approved you switch the automation on. On the Carts tab you see which cart received a message and what happened afterwards.

WHAT IT DOES

What do cart reminders do in Avosist?

The four parts of a cart reminder and how each is set in the panel.

01

Writes about an unfinished cart after the time you set

When your store reports that a cart has been left unfinished, the reminder is queued. You choose the waiting time, between 15 minutes and 7 days, and the sending hours, as a range within the day.

  • Waiting time from 15 minutes to 7 days
  • You set the sending hours
  • One message per cart
WhatsAppExample conversation

02

Builds the message from what is in the cart

The message is made of ready blocks: customer name, products in the cart, cart total, product photo, link back to the cart and coupon. For the coupon you can type a code from your store; on ikas and Shopify a coupon can also be created automatically, on Ticimax only an existing code is used.

  • You drag the blocks into order
  • Avosist can write the message, or you write it
  • The template is sent after Meta approves it

03

Counts those who buy after the message separately

The results screen shows customers who order within 7 days of the reminder as “Recovered by message”, and shows separately those who buy on their own before any message goes out. This keeps the reminder’s share apart from sales that were coming anyway. You can export the report to Excel.

  • Counts of delivered, read, replied and stopped messages
  • Recovered by message and bought before any message are separate
  • Export to Excel

  • Mert D. · BackpackBought on their ownOrdered before any message was sent
  • Selin A. · Knit CardiganWaitingMessage delivered

The sample rows are for illustration; they are not a promise of results.

04

The assistant looks after replies; those who opt out stop the messages

When a customer replies to the reminder, the question goes to your AI assistant; it answers about the shipping fee, the size or stock as usual. A customer who taps the “Stop these messages” button in the message is sent no reminders.

  • Questions arrive on your conversations screen
  • Opt-out with one tap
  • Not sent to customers without marketing consent
