Cart Abandonment - Maximize Revenue from Sale and Promotions
The purpose of the Cart Abandonment is to save users who are trying to leave the cart page without making a purchase. We recommend having a countdown timer that offers customers a discount if they check out quickly. Offering customers a discount when they are trying to leave their cart makes them more likely to complete the purchase.
