Use cases

Recover the checkout that stalled

Abandoned-cart email is a solved problem with a terrible open rate. The same nudge on WhatsApp reaches a channel people check within minutes. ConneXus can follow up an abandoned checkout with the exact items, a payment link on your own gateway, and a delay you control — then stop as soon as the order completes.

How the sequence works

A short, respectful sequence beats a barrage.

  • Cart abandonment detected from your store or the in-chat catalogue
  • A wait period you set — long enough not to feel like surveillance
  • A message listing the items left behind, with a payment link
  • An optional second nudge, then stop
  • Sequence cancels the moment the order is completed
  • Opt-outs are honoured automatically

Where the cart comes from

Carts built inside a WhatsApp conversation from the catalogue, and carts from a connected store — Shopify via the app connection, WooCommerce and WordPress via the plugin.

Frequently asked questions

Which template category applies to cart recovery?

A cart-recovery nudge is promotional, so it is a marketing template. Categorise it correctly — mis-labelling promotional content as utility is a common rejection and reporting risk.

Does the follow-up stop if they buy?

Yes. The sequence cancels as soon as the order completes, so nobody is chased for something they already paid for.
