What is an abandoned cart coupon on Etsy?

The abandoned cart coupon campaign on Etsy is a message you send to potential customers who started the check-out process on your shop but did not finish.

When products are placed in a shopping cart online but not purchased the card is considered “abandoned” by the customer.The abandoned cart coupon campaign sends an email to these potential customers. Shoppers may then click through to return to your store and complete their purchase at a discount.

Trying to recapture these customers is a vital part of increasing your shop's conversions to sales.

Sending a discount code to these abandoned cart customers can help you recover those sales.
