How to calculate abandoned cart recovery rate
Why abandoned cart recovery rate matters for Klaviyo users
Cart abandonment rates typically range from 60-80% in e-commerce. Recovering even a small percentage of those carts directly adds revenue with no additional acquisition cost. Your Klaviyo abandoned cart flow is often the highest-ROI automation in your entire email programme.
Tracking recovery rate in your metric tree connects it to overall revenue and average order value. Statistical correlations reveal which cart flow variants, timing patterns, and incentive structures produce the best recovery outcomes.
