Learn about basic service abandoned cart features, and what to expect after you purchase the functionality.
Overview
You can pass abandoned cart data along, also known as CartInsight, by putting JSON into Engagement Cloud through basic service abandoned carts. You can use this data to remind your customers to complete their purchases by showing abandoned cart information in a triggered campaign by using the Abandoned cart building block in EasyEditor.

Support for basic service abandoned carts
Basic service abandoned carts includes a dedicated Digital Marketing Specialist (DMS) and third-line support agent. The DMS works with you to test that the functionality is working correctly, create your three-step automation program, and provide documentation to you and your developer or agency, so it can be implemented correctly on your side. The DMS also gives you the correct IDs you must use to get started.
Abandoned cart block restrictions
The Abandoned cart block is restricted to showing certain data values and these can't be edited. You, your developer, or agency must implement the JSON script correctly for this block to work.
To learn how to correctly use the abandoned cart JSON script, check out Abandoned cart JSON breakdown.
You can display the following data:
Line item data (product) | CartInsight data (summary cart values) |
---|---|
Product image | Subtotal |
Product name | Shipping |
Product quantitiy | Grand total |
Product price |
You can’t edit the values Amount, Delivery, and Order total - these always appear in English. The module supports multi-currency. If you need something a little more custom or flexible, check out the full service abandoned carts.
Three-step automation feature
It’s a three step journey that triggers email campaigns at intervals picked by you if a contact doesn’t convert their cart. You can also choose not to enrol a contact that enrols in the last X amount of days. A contact exits the automation if they convert during the automated journey.
