Shopper Experience
When a shopper with a Bolt Account abandons a cart, their actions and device are logged via checkout and set to Bolt. After a short waiting period to ensure a shopper has not just accidentally lost service or closed their window, an abandoned cart message is sent to the device they last used.
NOTE
SMS capabilities are coming soon.
NOTE
Bolt adheres to CANSPAM regulations for abandoned cart notifications.
