# Abandoned Checkouts

The **Abandoned Checkout** feature allows you to send automated emails when a customer leaves without completing their purchase. These emails include a discount coupon generated based on your settings — helping bring customers back to complete their order.

To be eligible, the customer must have accepted **email marketing consent** during a previous checkout session.

## Enabling Abandoned Checkout

To enable abandoned checkout recovery:

1. Navigate to **Marketing > Abandoned Checkouts**
2. Toggle **"Send automated emails with discount coupons to recover abandoned checkouts"**

Once enabled, Paynow will automatically monitor for abandoned checkouts and attempt recovery using a discount coupon based on your configuration.

***

## Run Criteria

Customize the conditions for when a recovery email should be triggered:

* **Email Delay:**\
  Time to wait after an abandoned checkout before sending the email. (e.g. 1 hour)
* **Minimum/Maximum Order Value:**\
  Only trigger recovery emails if the cart total falls within this range.

### Restrictions

#### Per User Restrictions

Limit how often individual users can receive abandoned checkout coupons:

* **Max coupons per customer**\
  (e.g. 1 every 1 day)

#### Global Restrictions

Cap how many coupons are generated globally in a given time frame:

* **Total coupon sends**\
  (e.g. 10 every 1 day)

## Coupon Configuration

  Set how long the coupon is valid (e.g. 1 day)
* **Minimum Order Value:**\
