Recover abandoned carts on WhatsApp: a 3-message sequence that works
Most online carts are abandoned. A short, well-timed WhatsApp sequence recovers a meaningful slice of that lost revenue — far better than email alone.

Shoppers abandon carts constantly — distraction, price hesitation, a slow checkout. WhatsApp brings them back because it actually gets read.
The sequence
- +1 hour — a friendly nudge: "Still thinking it over? Your cart is saved." Include the product and a one-tap link back.
- +24 hours — add reassurance: reviews, free shipping, easy returns.
- +48 hours — a gentle, optional incentive (a small discount) for the fence-sitters.
Keep it human
Two or three messages, then stop. Always let them reply to a real person if they have a question.
Automate it
Wire your store (Shopify, WooCommerce) to WaDesk so abandoned carts trigger the sequence automatically, and cancel the moment the order is placed.
