## Abandonment is not an accident, it is a signal

Seven carts out of ten never reach checkout. That number is usually treated as a fact of life, when in reality it covers **very different causes that call for very different answers**. The visitor who balks at the price, the one who is comparing, the one who gets interrupted, the one who trips on a form: those are four distinct problems, and no single module covers them all.

The right way in is not "how do I send a reminder", but "when exactly does the cart die". Every module in this selection steps in at a precise moment of that death.

## Three windows, three mechanics

**Before the add to cart**, the visitor stalls on price or on a stock-out. There is no cart to save yet, but there is intent to capture: price alerts, back-in-stock alerts. These are the only tools that recover revenue otherwise lost for good.

**During the session**, the cart exists but stays invisible. A side cart and a sticky reminder keep the purchase present in the visitor's mind without forcing a trip to a dedicated page.

**After they leave**, everything hinges on the ability to come back _to the same cart_. A magic link that restores the exact cart, plus a multi-step reminder sequence, beats a single email with a discount code.

## The reflex discount trap

A reminder that offers 10% in the very first email teaches your regulars to abandon their cart on purpose. That is a cost you inflict on yourself. A well-built sequence opens with a plain reminder, adds reassurance on the second beat, and only reaches for the commercial incentive as a last resort — while it is still profitable.
