Who This Is For / When to Use

This feature is for e-commerce businesses using Kyrios Payments who want to recover incomplete purchases.

Use Abandoned Cart Notifications when you want to:

  • Re-engage shoppers who did not complete checkout

  • Control exactly when reminder emails are sent

What Are Abandoned Cart Notifications

Abandoned Cart Notifications are automated emails sent to customers who add products to their cart but do not complete payment.

Each email includes:

  • A unique checkout link

  • The customer’s cart contents

  • Real-time pricing and inventory updates

Customers can open the link on any device to complete their purchase.

How Abandoned Cart Email Delivery Works

When enabled, Kyrios monitors checkout activity in your account.

If a customer abandons their cart:

  • Kyrios generates a unique checkout link

  • The reminder email is sent after your configured delay

  • The link remains valid and reflects live inventory and pricing

Delivery only occurs if Abandoned Cart Emails are enabled in Payments settings.
