Best practices
Send Email 1 within 1 hour
The first email should go out within 60 minutes while the purchase intent is highest. This single email can recover 3–5% of abandoned carts on its own.
Address objections in Email 2
Use the second email to overcome common hesitations: highlight your return policy, show reviews, and answer FAQs.
Add a discount only if needed
Many carts can be recovered without a discount. Consider testing Email 3 with and without a discount — you may be leaving money on the table by always offering one.
Include product images dynamically
Emails with product images have significantly higher click rates. Connect Shopify or WooCommerce to MisarMail to pull product images automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time to send an abandoned cart email?
Email 1: 1 hour after abandonment. Email 2: 24 hours. Email 3: 72 hours. This sequence gives a window to decide without being aggressive.
Should I include a discount in all three emails?
No. Only include the discount in Email 3. Adding a discount too early trains customers to always abandon carts to get a discount.
Does the abandoned cart template work with Shopify?
Yes. Connect your Shopify store to MisarMail to enable real-time cart sync and trigger abandoned cart automations automatically.
