SimpleTix automatically sends recovery emails to customers who abandon their checkout - at no additional cost to you! While competitors charge extra for this feature, it’s included free with every SimpleTix account.

Abandoned Cart Recovery System

How It Works

When a customer begins the checkout process but leaves without completing their purchase, SimpleTix’s abandoned cart recovery system automatically springs into action:

1

Cart Abandonment

A customer adds tickets to their cart, begins the checkout process (entering some information like email address), but doesn’t complete their purchase.

2

20-Minute Recovery Email

Exactly 20 minutes after abandonment, SimpleTix automatically sends a recovery email to the customer with a unique, secure link back to their cart.

3

One-Click Return

The customer can click the link in the email to return directly to their cart with all their tickets and information still intact, making it effortless to complete their purchase.

Recovery Email Timing

The 20-minute timing for recovery emails is strategically chosen:

  • Complements the cart timer: Works alongside the checkout countdown timer to create a balanced approach to cart abandonment
