Questions about abandoned checkout recovery

Quick answers for Shopify teams evaluating WhatsApp abandoned checkout recovery.

1. What is WhatsApp abandoned checkout recovery for Shopify?

It is an automation that sends WhatsApp reminders to shoppers who started checkout but did not complete the order, usually with a link back to checkout.

2. Is this different from abandoned cart email?

Yes. Email can still help, but WhatsApp reaches many mobile shoppers faster and can be useful for urgent checkout recovery flows.

3. Can Retentionly stop messages after the order is placed?

Yes. The recovery flow is designed around Shopify events, so reminders can stop when the shopper completes the purchase.

Not always. Many stores start with a helpful reminder first, then reserve discounts for later steps or selected segments.
