Cart recovery

Your cart email got the click. Then the cart was empty.

A shopper builds a cart on a laptop, then opens your abandoned cart email on their phone. The cart stayed on the laptop. reOtter puts it back on a page built for that customer, in your store’s theme. You keep your Klaviyo flow and change the link.

The problem

What happens after the click?

  1. 1

    On a laptop

    A shopper adds three things to their cart and gets pulled away.

  2. 2

    A few hours later

    Your Added to Cart flow sends, right on schedule.

  3. 3

    On their phone

    They tap the button in your email. That phone has never seen their cart.

  4. 4

    Where they land

    An empty /cart page, or a single product page. They can rebuild the cart from memory on a small screen, or close the tab.

Your flow report counts that click like any other, so it can’t tell you what the shopper found when they landed. You can check in a few minutes: add something to your cart on your laptop, trigger your flow, and open the email on your phone while logged out of your store.
Abandoned checkout emails are a different case. Shopify’s checkout link restores a checkout on any device, once the shopper has reached it. This page is about the cart emails that go out before that.

The fix

Same email. Same tap. The cart is there.

reOtter saves what’s in each cart as people shop, for shoppers who allow it in your store’s consent banner. When someone clicks your cart email, we recognize who clicked and put their cart back on the device they’re holding.
It goes into the real Shopify cart, so the page, your cart drawer and checkout all agree. If that device already has items, the saved ones merge in. The cart is never cleared, and clicking from the same device doesn’t double anything.

More than a restored cart

A page that knows who clicked.

Subscribers have a portal for managing their plan. A customer who buys one order at a time usually lands on the same page as a stranger. When the click matches a customer, reOtter greets them by name and builds the page from what they’ve bought from you.

Their cart

Ready to edit: change a quantity, remove an item, or switch a line to subscribe and save.

Buy it again

Their past purchases and anything due for a reorder, one tap from the cart. They don’t need to log in.

Add-ons chosen from what’s in the cart and what they’ve bought before, following your product rules, collection limits and exclusions.

A checkout button that stays put

On phones, the subtotal and checkout button stay pinned to the bottom of the screen.

Free shipping and free gift tracker

An optional progress bar toward your thresholds. When an order crosses the gift amount, your store’s cart drawer opens once so its own gift logic can add the gift.

A layout you control

The page runs in your store’s theme and you edit the layout. Blocks can show to identified or unidentified shoppers, so each can get its own headline.

Setup

Keep your flow. Change the link.

  1. In Klaviyo, open each email in your abandoned cart (Added to Cart) flows.
  2. Replace the links that go to a product page or /cart with your reOtter cart link.
  3. Leave Klaviyo’s click tracking on. That’s how the page knows who clicked.
Your trigger, filters, timing, template and sender stay as they are. The link also works in Klaviyo texts with “Automatically shorten links” on. The reOtter theme embed and pixel need to be set up first, so carts can be saved and shoppers recognized.

The limits

Not every click gets a cart back.

Restoring a cart takes a saved cart and a shopper we can identify. We only save carts for shoppers who allow analytics in your consent banner, and we recognize people who’ve given your brand their details. We don’t use a shared identity network to name strangers.
Who clickedWhat they see
Logged in to your store, or arriving on a reOtter token linkSaved cart and full personalization. Checkout email prefilled.
Clicked a Klaviyo email or text and matches a customerSaved cart and full personalization. Checkout isn’t prefilled.
Clicked a Klaviyo email or text and hasn’t bought yetSaved cart if we have one, plus general picks.
Not identifiedWhatever cart is already on that device, plus general picks. On a new device, that cart can be empty.

Your options

Where the button can send them.

The button goes toWhat the shopper gets on another device
A product pageOne product, with nothing from the cart. The shopper rebuilds the rest by hand.
The /cart pageWorks on the same browser. Empty on any other device.
A checkout linkRestores on any device, but only once the shopper has reached checkout, and it opens on the payment form.
A reOtter cart recovery pageThe saved cart on an editable page, with their past purchases and add-ons around it, when we hold the cart and know who clicked.
Some brands and tools also build a cart permalink into the email. It holds what the email knew when it was sent, usually goes straight to checkout, and can’t carry a subscription selling plan.

Already using server-side tracking or an identity tool?

Server-side cookies and device recognition help a store recognize returning visitors and send more abandoned cart emails. A cookie stays on the device that set it, though, so it can’t carry a cart to a phone. And those tools generally stop at the event: the button in the email still needs somewhere useful to go.
You can keep your tool and put your reOtter link in that flow’s button. If you need better conversion data in your ad platforms, or want to reach anonymous shoppers, those tools do that job and reOtter doesn’t.

Measurement

Don’t take our word for it. Hold some customers back.

An optional test sends a share of clicks to the link you choose, so you can compare orders against the page. It tells you whether the page beats that destination. It doesn’t tell you whether the flow itself adds revenue. No brand has run this test to a result yet.
Your results also show views, carts loaded, carts restored (empty on arrival or merged), items restored, direct orders, sales, added sales, conversion and average order value. Carts restored shows how often the page saved someone the work. Only the test shows what it changed.
