shopify abandoned checkout emails not sending
Abandoned-checkout emails that never send are free margin left on the table. Verify the flow is live, then fix the leaks that cause abandon.
The actual problem
Abandoned checkout recovery is off or filtered — you pay for clicks that never get a recovery email.
Do this
- Confirm abandoned checkout emails are enabled and not in spam for a test address.
- Check marketing consent / SMS vs email channel mix for your geos.
- Recover a test cart end-to-end; measure open → return → purchase.
- Pause ‘scale ads’ narrative until recovery is proven working.
