Title: Abandoned Checkout | Sellence

Sales Journey, Abandoned Checkout

# Recover Abandoned Checkouts With Real Conversations.

Your hottest leads are the ones who reached checkout. The model follows up in real time, in a personal SMS that reads like a person wrote it.

The Problem

## Most Shoppers Do Not Abandon Because They Forgot. They Abandon Because They Are Uncertain.

Your current recovery probably looks like a static email, a generic discount, and a “complete your order” reminder. None of them ask the right question.

What Teams Try First

- 01 A static email hours later
- 02 A generic discount with no context
- 03 A reminder that just says “complete your order”

A reminder cannot answer the question that stopped them.

What the Model Does Instead

- Detects checkout abandonment in real time
- Sends a personal message: “want help picking the right size?”
- Follows up 24 to 48 hours later based on what they said
- Closes the sale in the thread, or hands it to your team with the full context

How It Works

## Drop-Off to Recovery, in 6 Steps.

1. 01

### Shopper drops off during checkout

Cart abandoned, intent still warm.

2. 02

### Sellence detects the drop-off

A real-time signal off your checkout.

3. 03

### The model sends a personal SMS

Within 15 seconds, outside quiet hours. Reads the cart, asks the right question.

4. 04

### Shopper replies with a question or objection

Sizing, shipping, partner approval, whatever it is.

5. 05

### The model responds in their language

Helpful, and timed the way a person would time it.

6. 06

### Follow-up continues until the sale closes

Or hands off to your team with the full thread attached.

Inside the Conversation

## The Cart Is Still Warm. The Question Gets Asked.

An example of the shape of the thread: one question on the real doubt, one answer, one link.

Illustrative thread. Fernwood Bedding is a placeholder name, the mechanics are the model’s.

Questions Teams Ask

## Before They Start an Abandoned Checkout Journey.

**What if the shopper never replies?**

The model reads silence. It tries a different angle, a different time, a different opener. If 3 attempts go nowhere, it closes the thread cleanly and tags the contact for re-engagement on their next signal.

**Does it integrate with my checkout flow or Shopify?**

Yes. Native Shopify integration, plus a direct connection for any custom checkout. We pick up the abandon event, the cart contents and the buyer's contact details, and start the thread within 15 seconds of the event, outside quiet hours.

**Do I need to train the model myself?**

No. The model arrives trained on the conversations that closed in your category. We tune the voice to your brand in onboarding, about a week, and run a 2-month pilot before you commit to anything beyond that.

**How is this different from a cart-recovery sequence?**

It carries memory across messages, decides when to push and when to wait, references the product in the cart, and hands the thread to your team at the right moment. A sequence does none of that.
