Abandoned checkout is an integration that allows you to send text messages automatically after an online shopper adds products to their cart but leaves without finishing their checkout.
These text messages can be triggered and sent only if you have the customer's phone number and marketing consent.
Shopify Abandoned Checkout is available to ALL Shopify Customers, regardless of Shopify Account Type.
