Shoppers add products to their cart but often leave without checking out. That’s where Pushify’s cart abandonment flow can help recover lost revenue — automatically.
In this post, you’ll learn how to build a smart, personalized cart abandonment sequence using Pushify’s Flows — in just minutes.
🤔 What Is a Cart Abandonment Flow?
A cart abandonment flow is an automated series of push notifications sent to users who add items to their cart but don’t complete the purchase.
For example:
- 1st Notification (15 min later): “Oops! You left something in your cart 👀”
- 2nd Notification (1 hour later): “Still thinking it over? Here's 5% off. Use code: REMIND5 💸”
- 3rd Notification (Next Day): “Last chance! Your cart will expire soon ⏳”
These flows help bring users back and encourage them to complete their purchase — on autopilot.
