Automatic cart recovery in WooCommerce (from any device)

When a customer abandons a shopping cart on your website, you will probably want to enter them into an automation journey encouraging them to complete their purchase. As part of the communications sent to such a customer, you will add a link back to the shopping cart / point of sale so that the customer can complete their purchase. 

Often, customers enter your store using a different device from the one they used when beginning the purchase process. For instance, a customer may add a product to the shopping cart while using a computer and then receive an SMS or an email and open them on their smartphone. In such a case, the customer may be forwarded to the shopping cart page only to find an empty shopping cart. 

In this respect, Flashy holds a unique advantage over other systems, the ability to regenerate a shopping cart without fail, regardless of the device a customer uses when clicking on your link. 

This can be easily set up when creating your abandoned cart template, by using a parameter.

  1. Add to the template a button element that will serve as the call to action button for completing the purchase. 
  1. Add the URL address of the shopping cart in your store + at the end of the URL add the following parameter:
flashy_cart=true&email={{email}}?

This means the URL should take on the following structure:

https://YourDomain.co.il/cart/?flashy_cart=true&email={{email}}

Now, no matter what device the customer is using, Flashy will recover the products that the customer had in the shopping cart they abandoned from a Flashy database kept to this end. 
Please note, if the URL address contains other parameters, the Flashy parameter must be added at the end of the URL by using an "&" symbol before it - &?Flashy_cart=true&email={{email}}.
