When to use: Use this within an hour or two of abandonment.
Hi customer name, it is store name. You left the product in your cart, and we saved it for you. Ready to finish up? Complete your order here: link. Reply STOP to opt out.
Within one to two hours of abandonment, while the shopper still remembers what they wanted.
Lead with a helpful reminder, not a discount. Save the incentive for a later message so you do not train shoppers to abandon.
When to use: Use this a day after abandonment if the first nudge failed.
Hi customer name, still thinking it over? Here is discount off the product to help you decide. Use code code at checkout: link. Reply STOP to opt out.
About a day after the first reminder, once a friendly nudge alone has not converted.
Offer the discount only after a plain reminder. This keeps your margins healthy and rewards hesitation without inviting it.
When to use: Use this when the abandoned item is running low.
Hi customer name, quick heads-up from store name: the product in your cart is almost sold out. We can hold it a little longer if you check out soon: link. Reply STOP to opt out.
When stock on the abandoned item is genuinely low. Real scarcity is a strong, honest nudge.
Only claim low stock when it is true. Fake urgency works once, then costs you the customer for good.
When to use: Use this when cart value or timing unlocks free shipping.
Hi customer name, it is store name. Good news, your product now ships free. Use code code to complete your order: link. Reply STOP to opt out.
When the shopper qualifies for or you are offering free shipping. Shipping cost is one of the top reasons carts are left behind.
Call out free shipping directly. Removing the exact blocker often converts a cart that price alone would not.
When to use: Use this for higher-value or considered purchases.
Hi customer name, it is store name. We noticed you were looking at the product. Was there a question we can help with, on sizing, fit, or anything else? Just reply and we will help. Or finish here: link. Reply STOP to opt out.
For considered or higher-value purchases, where a real question, not price, often stops the sale.
Invite a reply and be ready to answer fast. Solving one question can recover a cart no discount would.
When to use: Use this as the final touch before letting the cart go.
Hi customer name, last note from store name about your product, we will not keep reminding you. If you would still like it, your cart is ready here: link. Either way, thanks for stopping by. Reply STOP to opt out.
A couple of days after the first reminder, as your final recovery touch before releasing the cart.
Keep the last message gracious and brief. A calm final nudge recovers stragglers without earning opt-outs.
