Abandoned Cart Recovery PRO ​

Automatically emails shoppers who left items in their cart, with a one-click link back to it.

Category: Marketing · Enable at: Ambikly → Add-ons → Abandoned Cart Recovery

What it does ​

A 15-minute scan looks at the store's own carts table for carts with items, a captured email and no matching order since the cart went idle. Up to three reminder emails go out at offsets you set, each with a resume link that restores the cart and lands the shopper on the cart page. A read-only admin list shows which carts are currently abandoned, their subtotals and which reminders have already been sent.

Capabilities ​

  • Recurring 15-minute scan over the core carts table — no separate abandoned-carts table
  • Three configurable reminder stages, with an optional coupon code in the third email
  • Resume link restores the cart and redirects to the cart page
  • Skips any cart whose email completed an order since the cart went idle
  • Per-episode send log, so a resumed-then-reabandoned cart gets a fresh sequence
  • Adds database indexes on activation so the scan stays fast at volume

Turn it on ​

  1. Make sure Ambikly Pro is active and your license is activated under Ambikly → Settings → License.
  2. Go to Ambikly → Add-ons, find Abandoned Cart Recovery and switch it on. There is nothing else to install.

  4. Visit your storefront to confirm the new surface appears: html reminder emails with cart line items and a “resume your cart” button.

Questions ​

How does it know a cart was abandoned? ​

A cart needs items, a customer email and no update for the configured number of minutes. If that email completed an order since the cart went idle, no reminder is sent.

Can a customer get the same reminder twice? ​

No. Each send is logged against the cart’s last update; the same stage never resends for the same abandonment episode. Resuming and re-abandoning starts a new sequence.

Does it need a separate table? ​

No. It reuses the core carts table and adds two indexes on activation for scan performance.

Turning it off ​

Switch the add-on off from Ambikly → Add-ons. Its settings and data stay in the database, so turning it back on restores exactly what you had. A lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps selling on the free core, and nothing is deleted.
