If you use abandoned cart functionality to power your automations, the abandoned cart dashboard shows a list of abandoned carts for your store and their reporting data.
To make your data more relevant, the abandoned cart dashboard identifies three phases of a cart's life cycle: abandoned, converted, and lost. Each life cycle phase is determined by sales data and its position against the conversion window.
The conversion window is the key to deciding which phase of the life cycle a cart is in. This customisable window of time determines how long a cart is considered abandoned before time runs out and it becomes lost.
By default, we set the conversion window as seven days.
Learn to change this in Set the abandoned cart conversion window.
The life cycle of an abandoned cart
There are three phases in the life cycle of an abandoned cart:
Phase | Description |
Abandoned cart | A cart where the customer added items, but did not check out. Abandoned carts must not be older than the conversion window, and we consider them as recoverable. |
Lost cart | A cart where the customer added items, but did not check out. Lost carts are older than the conversion window and we consider them very unlikely to be recoverable. |
Converted cart | A cart that was abandoned, but the customer returned and completed the checkout. Both abandoned carts and lost carts can become converted carts and they are not determined by the conversion window. |
