Abandoned Cart Builder: Settings tab
The settings tab in the Abandoned Cart Builder will allow you to customize the following in your abandoned cart email:
- Sort the order in which products in the abandoned cart will appear
- Display all products in the contact's abandoned cart
- Display up to a certain number of products in the contact's abandoned cart
The "Sort Products" dropdown will default to sort products by "Price: High to Low." However, you can use any of these sorting options instead:
- Recently added
- Price: Low to High
- Alphabetically
To change the sorting option, click the "Sort Products" dropdown and click the option you want to use:
The Products Displayed section will default to have "Limit to 3 abandoned products" selected.
However, you can change this number by typing a new number into the field provided:
If a number higher than 99 is entered into the "Limit to" field, that value will be set to 99. If you wish to show all products instead, click "All abandoned products."
When you've finished configuring options in the Abandoned Cart Builder, click "OK."
The Abandoned Cart content block is now configured in your email. The abandoned cart product(s) values (product image, name, price, description) will automatically be inserted into the email when sent to the contact.
Once you're done configuring this email, click "Next," then click "Finish."
Contacts receiving this email will see customized information about the products they abandoned.
