Choose one of the numerous ready-to-send email templates to easily draw customers’ attention to their abandoned carts. Bright and clear templates will help you structure your data and highlight the most important information.
The module allows inserting discount coupons into any of the cart reminders so that customers will be highly motivated to come back to your store and purchase the items from their abandoned carts. E.g. you may send 3 cart reminders to a customer and add discount coupons to 2-nd and 3-rd emails to increase the chance of order.
Different products require different approaches to be sold. Clients who are going to purchase expensive products, for example cars or jewelry, require more attention. So, you can create a special rule for such types of products to send more emailsand promo coupons to potential clients. While visitors who have abandoned their carts with just a few cheap items can receive only one or two cart reminders..
You can create unlimited number of flexible rules to send as many cart reminders as you need with the Magento shopping cart abandonment extension. For each rule you can specify individual number of emails to be sent, e.g. for simple and cheap products it may be 2 reminders, for more expensive ones it may be 4 or 5 emails.
If you are going to send more than one reminder email to particular customers you can specify time periods between cart reminders in a sequence to adjust their sending to your specific needs..
Motivate customers to return to your online store and complete their purchase with coupons. You can specify conditions when the coupons should be automatically sent to clients. E.g. you can send coupons only to the customers whose cart value is more than $200. Also it is possible to choose to which emails to add coupons, e.g. you can send the first cart reminder without coupon and add coupons starting from second or third email.
Usually customers are not likely to register on shopping sites, so it’s very important to have the ability to send follow up emails not only to authorized visitors, but to guests as well. The Abandoned Cart Emails module enables you capture guest emails when visitors fill in the checkout fields to send them cart reminders in case they interrupt the checkout process. The extension captures the customers’ emails with AJAX, so the emails are saved right after they are entered.
While creating a rule you can specify customer groups, order amount, particular brand names etc. Such flexibility will help you to effectively set up mass email sending by accurately targeting it.
You can set the emails to stop automatically after an order is placed or a customer clicks the ‘restore cart’ link. Also it is possible to remove emails from the sending queue. Of course, there’s unsubscribe option for customers.

Before an email is sent it gets into the sending queue where you can see all the sending details and edit emails. Modify the scheduled date and time as well as the customer's email address. You can also edit the email templates right from the queue grid.
The module allows you create test emails and send them to the appropriate email address to check out if everything functions correctly.
