As a shopper, you’ve probably abandoned plenty of carts yourself. As a retailer, you often wish that more people would actually complete a purchase instead of leaving their carts behind. But can you do anything about eCommerce cart abandonment, and win back some of those lost sales?
You certainly can, but there are a lot of different areas to navigate and improve.
What is cart abandonment?
Cart abandonment is when an online shopper adds at least one product to their cart and then exits without making a purchase. Abandonment rates are staggeringly high — demonstrating the huge revenue opportunity to win back these shoppers and make a sale.
Why cart abandonment should be a top priority for online retailers? 69.23% –– that’s the average percentage of the customers who will put something in a cart on your site and then just up and leave without ever purchasing. 58.6% –– that’s the percentage of people who say they’ve abandoned a cart within the last 3 months because “I was just browsing / not ready to but”. These people likely won’t ever even initiate your checkout flow.
But for the 41.6% of other abandoned carts, many people will begin your checkout flow. Why does this matter? Because when a customer begins the checkout flow, they must first enter their email. And, when you have their email, you can trigger an abandoned cart series to bring that customer back and earn their sale.
To convert the abandoned cart into purchases is a difficult task and requires a lot of efforts.
Here by Opencart Abandoned cart module we simplify this process for you. This module allows the Admin to view all the abandoned carts and take actions accordingly. Admin can create their own e-mail template, be it a discounted e-mail or non-discounted e-mail and send it to the customer automatically through this module.
Salient Features of the OpenCart Abandoned Cart extension:
The extension analyzes the behavior of the online shoppers and tracks and marks the abandoned carts on the online store.
With the extension, the store admin can modify the follow-up email templates and can make as many new templates as he wants from the admin interface.
The extension offers discounted and non-discounted email templates. The admin can highlight an attractive discount and a coupon code in the email to convince buyers to purchase the products.
The store admin has to set a time-delay after which the extension automatically sends the follow-up email to the customers. The store admin doesn’t have to send the reminder emails manually.
The e-merchant can check and see all the captured abandoned carts and the converted carts through sending emails in the back-end of the extension.
With the awesome Analytics tab, the store owner can compare the total abandoned carts with the total converted carts and can make new strategies to increase the converted carts.
The extension offers a Test mode option by which the store admin can test and review the reminder emails by sending them to a given test email address.
The extension is mobile responsive and offers multi-language support.
The e-merchant can also view and check all the coupons which are generated by the extension. The admin can check how many coupons have been used by the customers and how many are still unused.

3.0 Useful Cron Instructions
3.1 Reasons/Cases when the email is not sent to the customers
A. Email Id is not available (Guest customer)
B. If the cart does not satisfy the condition of serial reminders
If the minimum cart value is greater than the abandoned cart value. For example, the minimum cart amount is $50 and the abandoned cart amount is $45. It will not send a reminder in this case.
If the delay is set to one day, so the reminders will not be sent to the customers whose carts are abandoned for less than a day. C. If you have not setup the Cron properly or if the Cron is not working.
3.2 Types of Crons
There are two types of cron that run every hour.
1. Cron to update the Abandoned cart: This cron runs every hour.
For example, suppose if the cron runs at 11:05, 12:05…..and so on and you have set “Mark Abandoned Cart” as 1 hour. When cron runs at 11:05 it will add all the abandoned cart created between 9:05 to 10:05. If you have set “Mark Abandoned Cart” as 0 hours then it will add all the abandoned cart created between 10:05 to 11:05.
2. Cron to send a reminder email: This cron also runs after every hour.
For example, suppose the cron runs at 11:11, 12:11…..and so on and you have set the Reminder for 1 day and ‘Mark Abandoned Cart’ as 1 Hour. When cron runs at 11:11 then the emails will be sent to all the abandoned carts between 9:11 to 10:11 of the previous day. If you have set Reminder for 2 days and ‘Mark Abandoned Cart’ as 0 hour then the emails will be sent to all the abandoned cart between 10:11 to 11:11 of the day before yesterday.
3.3 Procedure to configure CRON job
3.3.1 What is a cron?
A cron is a service that allows a user to automatically execute a script at a specific time.
For example, you can set a particular PHP script to be automatically executed every day at midnight.

Managing an ecommerce website isn’t easy. Competition is fierce, technology is ever-changing, and there’s no other position in the company that gets as much advice from well-meaning peer ‘experts’ (anyone who’s watched a webinar on conversion optimization) or gets as much daily scrutiny as the ecommerce manager.
Every part of the site must be consistently tested and optimized. Every word of copy must do the job it’s there to do. And something as simple as the configuration of an online sizing chart can either pull customers in or drive them away.
The ecommerce manager must balance all of it.
The OpenCart Product size chart Module by Knowband is a Size Chart creating module for OpenCart. Using this extension, the merchant can show the different types of size charts for each category, product, and manufacturers available on his/her store.

Thus with the help of this OpenCart Product Size chart Extension, the eCommerce store owner can easily resolve the size-related issues of the store customers.

The majority of returns for ecommerce apparel items are due to the customer not being satisfied with the fit.
This article isn’t for online clothing store managers only, though. Many items require a fit of one type or another – sleeping bags, fishing rods, furniture… all need to fit the buyer.
We’ve already mentioned that high return rates can often be traced directly to sizing issues. Uncertainty about the fit is why many would-be online customers opt to drive to the store and try an item on before purchasing.
Here are our top five reasons why ecommerce managers should pay close attention to how their sizing information is presented:
