Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WhatsApp abandoned cart recovery

How effective is WhatsApp for abandoned cart recovery?

WhatsApp abandoned cart messages recover up to 45% of abandoned carts, significantly higher than email (5-10%) and SMS (15-20%).

Customers see WhatsApp messages immediately on their phone, making it the most effective channel for cart recovery.

When should I send abandoned cart reminders on WhatsApp?

Sending the first message within 1 hour of cart abandonment yields the highest recovery rates because the purchase intent is still fresh.
