What is abandoned cart in Shopify?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:48 am

Abandoned cart is a feature in Shopify that allows you to keep track of products that have been added to your cart but not purchased. When a customer clicks the “Add to Cart” button for a product that is in your abandoned cart, the product is added to your “Active Products” list and the “Inactive Products” list is cleared.

If a customer purchases the product from your abandoned cart, the “Active Products” list is updated to include the product and the “Inactive Products” list is cleared. This feature is helpful for keeping track of products that you may want to sell again in the future, or for reducing the number of products that are displayed on your “Active Products” list.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Shopify to sell products online, be aware that there is a feature called “abandoned cart.” This feature allows customers to add items to their cart and then leave the site without completing the purchase. If a customer does this, Shopify will send them a reminder email (with a link to their cart) in an attempt to get them to complete the purchase. However, if the customer does not complete the purchase within a certain period of time (usually about 24 hours), their cart will be “abandoned” and the items will be removed from their cart.

The “Abandoned Cart” feature is helpful for both customers and shop owners. Customers can easily find products that they may have been interested in but didn’t purchase, and shop owners can reduce the number of products that are displayed on their “Active Products” list.

In conclusion, abandoned cart in Shopify is a helpful feature that can help customers and shop owners keep track of products that have been added to their cart but not purchased.
