Abandoned Carts
Enable one-click checkout directly from shopper notifications with Bolt's Abandoned Cart solution.

About

Abandoned Carts enables automated notifications that bring shoppers back to your site to complete their purchase. You can manage abandoned cart emails and view related checkout analytics in your Merchant Dashboard.

After enabling the Abandoned Carts feature for your account, you can view Abandoned Carts Analytics and monitor sent notifications.

Abandoned Cart Flow

When a shopper with a Bolt account abandons a cart, Bolt logs the cart and the shopper’s device information. After a short waiting period, designed to ensure the shopper did not accidentally lose service or close their browser, an abandoned cart notification is sent to the device the shopper last used. Bolt adheres to CAN-SPAM regulations for abandoned cart notifications.
