How Does Direct Marketing Recover Abandoned Carts?

Direct marketing uses abandoned-cart emails to offer discounts only to shoppers who leave without completing a purchase.
A link in the message returns the shopper to the saved cart, where the original items and reduced price are ready for checkout.
The store connects the cart with the email address entered during checkout.
If the shopper leaves before paying, the system records the checkout as abandoned.
An automated rule sends the email only when no completed order appears after a set period.
The message can include a one-time discount linked to the unfinished order.
The email shows the products left behind, the updated total, and a checkout button.
The button reopens the saved cart without requiring the shopper to find the products again.
The shopper can review the reduced total and complete the payment.
