PrestaShop Abandoned Cart

If you take a look at your PrestaShop abandoned cart section you may be astonished at how many users do not complete the purchase. The good news is that you can turn a part of these users into customers.

There are several methods to work with abandoned or so called ‘ghost carts’ in your PrestaShop store. Some store owners use personal phone calls to help customers complete the order, others send email reminders about the products left in the cart. In most cases, the faster you reach out to a user, the higher are the chances to turn him or her into a client. So it is important to have quick and convenient access to the orders data. That’s what Store Manager for PrestaShop Abandoned Cart functionality is developed for.
