How to calculate abandoned cart recovery rate
Why abandoned cart recovery rate matters for Shopify users
With the majority of shopping carts abandoned before checkout, even modest improvements in recovery rate translate into significant revenue gains from visitors who have already demonstrated purchase intent.
Shopify merchants can compare recovery rates across automation channels - email, SMS, and push notifications - to identify which touchpoints are most effective and optimise sequence timing and messaging accordingly.
