Once you have added your email to your store one way or the other,then close the window.

CareCart allows you to customize the contents and design of email so you can continue building your brand identity through communication with your customer. So, you should customize the campaigns to match your store and branding guidelines.
The good thing is you don’t need any coding knowledge to customize the colors and contents of the emails. We have taken the hard work out of it, and now you can easily customize anything using graphic interface.
In the Abandoned Cart Email Campaign, you’ll see three different emails that you can set for the campaign. You can customize the emails individually by clicking the ‘Edit’ button.
On the Edit page, you have the control over uploading your store logo and changing the color scheme of the template. This will allow you to match the email template to your brand’s preferences.
Once CareCart starts capturing the emails from cart abandoners, then the store owners would want to download that data in order to run Newsletter or other campaigns. CareCart has made this process simple and easy by enabling the functionality for the users to export all the captured emails data.
Here’s how you can do it:
CareCart email marketing campaign is an excellent start for you to recover your abandoned carts. If you don’t feel like doing much then there’s nothing to worry about! We have already built-in default email templates within the system and all you have to do is enable the campaign to start sending emails and recover your lost revenue.
If you want to take the matter in your own hands to get the maximum benefits from your email campaigns, you can totally work around with the contents of the emails and send timings to optimize your conversion rates.
Here are your options:
CareCart email template may not be suitable for all the different sizes and variety of stores that’s why we encourage our users to spend the right amount of time to personalize the emails according to their marketing communication strategy.
Write an enticing subject line
Email subject is of utmost importance here. It is the determining factor for the receiver as it tells whether or not an email should be checked. People receive tons of promotional emails everyday but they only open few of those that have catchy subject lines. So, increase your conversion chances by grabbing the attention of your customers.
While writing the subject line, keep it short, to the point and personal. It’s always a good idea to make it witty if your brand image allows you to do so.
If you’re planning to offer a discount, then you should highlight it in your subject line, it will definitely improve your open rate. You may also include emojis to further highlight your email in the inbox.
Improve Email Body
After writing up your subject line, the next step is to optimize and improve the contents of the email body. You need to focus on it because it will encourage your potential customers to go back to your store and complete the purchase.
Don’t write an article here to show off all the features and benefits of the product. Keep your contents short and highlight only a couple of benefits so that the Call to Action option is visible immediately without even scrolling. Your ultimate goal here should be to get your customer back to your store.
Appearance:
You do have a control over uploading your store logo and changing the color scheme of the template. This will allow you to match the email template to your brand’s preferences.
We have done extensive testing and found out that our emails go to the inbox of largest email providers like Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo. However, complying with all the policies of all email services is tricky. Thus, avoiding spam becomes inevitable.
Our tests show that the average spam rate of our email delivery is 0.01, which means a very small number of emails go to spam.
How to avoid spam folder?
To avoid the spam folder please use your private domain email address (for example: [email protected]) as email sender instead of using the free services like Gmail, Outlook, etc.
While sending the test email of your campaign, it is highly recommended that in ‘CareCart Settings’→’Store Information’→ ‘Reply-to Email’ area you change and enter another email ID. This will help you to avoid any suspicious activity.
You also need to correctly set the SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records of your domain.
You can follow the steps below to make sure your domain’s SPF records are perfect:
Visit this page: https://mxtoolbox.com/SPFRecordGenerator.aspx, and enter your domain name.
If the record comes up as ” v=spf1 ~all ” then please request your domain name provider to replace it with “v=spf1 a mx include:_spf.carecart.io”
Once the SPF record of your private domain is set as above, your emails will no longer land in Spam.
If you need any help, you can also contact us.
If your email capture rate is not good enough as compared to total number of carts created on your store then continue reading this.
Its very common that most of the Shopify store owners have email capture rate just little over 30% which means they are losing over 60% of potential audience who have already initiated the checkout process but didn’t completed.
All you need to do is turn on Email Collector Popup!
This email collection tool is very effective in capturing emails from the cart abandoners.
It activates right at the moment when the customer adds a product to the cart. It is the time when customer has highest level of interest in buying the item so they gladly add their email to the form.
This add to cart popup will definitely increase your email capture rate so you will be able to send abandonment campaign to more potential customers thus, increasing the chances of sales.
More importantly, you also build your high value email list.
Any questions? Feel free to contact us
Email collector popup is one of the most efficient feature of CareCart. It is valuable for all our users. It has helped them to boost email capture rate to over 60% and the best part is, it doesn’t even annoy the store customers!
After tons of trial and error, we have simplified the idea of collecting the email from customers. When a user adds something to the cart, Email Collector popup is displayed and the user is asked to enter the email. At this point, CareCart tags the email with the product in the cart. If the customer doesn’t complete the purchase, then be ready to run the abandoned cart email campaign.
You can easily edit the contents of the popup including the image, text, and button. You can also choose the color theme from the “Color Schemes” tabs that will help you with your branding.
Turn on/off the close button that is displayed on the top right corner of the popup. By enabling the close button, you can close the popup without entering the email and you will end up having no contact but the abandoned carts only. So, running a test will help you achieve better results.
Once you have set up everything then you may test the popup on your store by simply clicking the ‘Test on your store’ button. It will open your store in a new tab and will show how the popup will look like and work for your visitors.
CareCart allows you to customize the Cart Reminder notification content so that you can use your own logo and custom message for your customers.
In the Cart Reminder page, you can edit the message that will be reflected in the title bar of browser’s tab. Set up the toggle away time in seconds to show the notification when customers have switched the tab.
To further personalize it you can upload your brand logo in the favicon area and also entirely control the settings of the notification badge including the position, shape, animation and the color scheme to match with your store.
Once you’re all done, save the settings and then test on your store by clicking the button from the upper right corner.
Cart Reminder is a tiny little tool that works silently to bring your customers back to the store when they have toggled away to another tab of their browser’s window.
Basically, it helps you to prevent customers from abandoning their cart by showing the little notification icon in the title bar of the Tab. The best part is, it doesn’t even require any subscription from the customer.
It will show the notification icon only to those visitors who have added one or more products to their cart and switched to another tab without completing the purchase.
Subscription process for the Push notifications works quite similarly to the regular newsletter subscription. Once the customers subscribe to Push popups only then you’ll be able to send them messages.
There are just two simple steps in the Push Notification subscription process.
In the first step, a subscription popup appear on the top of your customer’s browser.
When the customers click Allow on the final permission popup then they get subscribed and at this point it is highly recommended that you immediately send the Welcome Push message.
2018 studies show that cart abandonment will reach over 80%. You as a store owner need to make sure that you get the most out of your existing hard earned traffic. Push Notification is one of the great customer re-engagement tools that will help you to generate more sales from your existing traffic.
Now let’s have a look at how Push Notification Campaign Works?
It runs just like the email campaign, and for only those customers who have subscribed to Push Notifications list.
Auto-stop campaign
When customers come back to your store and complete the purchase in the middle of the campaign then CareCart will automatically stop all campaigns for that customer. This will also include emails and Messenger campaigns, not just push notifications.
Abandoned Cart Push Campaign
Go to Push Notification tab in the CareCart admin panel to run the push campaign and re-engage your customers.
On the Abandoned Cart Push Campaign tab, you’ll see a series of three push messages which you can edit individually by clicking Edit.
NOTE: This push campaign is sent to cart abandoners and checkout abandoners as well. If the customers are subscribed, notifications will be sent, no matter at which point they abandoned the cart.
On the push notification editor page, you can even customize the contents of the message.
We have already built the template for you and all you need to do is turn on the campaign. In case you get personalize with your customers or match the message with your brand image, it is recommended to update the contents of the messages.
Whenever you offer a discount in the push notification, always keep in mind that CareCart does not auto-generate discount codes. You need to generate discount code in your Shopify admin panel and paste it manually in the push message.
Push notification is the best way to reach out to your cart abandoners and bring them back to complete the purchase.
Here’s the thing, with CareCart you can send push notifications only to those customers who have subscribed to the push notifications.
To get the push notification subscriptions, just turn on the popup from the Opt-in settings tab.
Next, you can customize the contents of the subscription popup message to match with your store.
Once you have saved the content, it will start appearing for every store visitor who has added a product to the cart, until they click ‘Allow’ or ‘Don’t Allow’.
After making the necessary changes in the subscription popup, click ‘Next’ to customize the final permission popup. This additional popup window will only appear if the customer clicks ‘Allow’ on the subscription popup.
You may also edit the contents of the window of the final permission popup, but not the contents of the popup itself.
Still have questions? Feel free to ask us!
In the end, when customers click Allow on the final permission popup then they will be subscribed to the Push notifications list and you’ll be able to send them Push messages.
Let’s see how you can set up Welcome Push notification:
Welcome Push notification is sent when a customer subscribes to the push notifications. Welcome push set up is part of the process of setting up Push Notification. Once you reach the last step, you can customize the Welcome Push message.
You may set the timer for the Welcome Push. However, it should be sent immediately after getting the subscription, just like shown below:
After a customer clicks ‘Allow’, he or she immediately gets the Welcome Push Notification.
STEP 1
STEP 2
Remember, you can also send a simple welcome message if you don’t want to send any discount offer. However, giving discounts will boost your conversion rate. Because the customer gets discount code right after subscribing, which works great to push users to complete the purchase.
Abandoned cart Messenger campaign runs when your customers add one or more product to their cart and then do not complete the purchase.
You can send this campaign only to those customers who have already subscribed to your Messenger list. You can get the Messenger subscriptions by enabling the Messenger widget.
Campaign Customization
With CareCart Messenger marketing you get campaign customization options.
Simply go to the Auto Campaigns section and edit any message in the campaign.
You can pretty much change everything including the texts, background image and the send timing of the message. You can do this for each message individually.
We recommend setting the timings to comply with Facebook policy. The best combination would be to send the first message after 1 hour then second and third message after few hours interval, keeping all three messages within 24 hours.
According to Facebook’s policy, now you can send messages to subscribers within 24 hours window after the confirmation of subscription. Any promotional messages beyond that can be send as sponsored campaign.
We suggest you to send discount code in the 2nd and 3rd message to lure in customers for making a purchase. By sending the discount in the first message you may just lose some profit margin because most of the buyers either got busy temporarily or distracted, but they have the intention to buy the item soon.
Facebook Compliance
As suggested above, keep your message timings within the 24 hours as Facebook allows you to send the promotional message within 24 hours of subscription. So keeping the recommended timings totally make your campaign Facebook compliant.
Campaign Suggestions
There are few suggestions to optimize the Messenger campaign to maximize the cart recovery:

Implementation of Add to Cart widget by CareCart requires you to follow some basic rules and guidelines set by Facebook. Follow the steps mentioned below to make sure that you appropriately use the widget and enhance the shopping experience of your customers.
1: Position the widget

Your customers will automatically get subscribed to your Messenger list when they click on ‘Add to Cart’ button. It is compulsory that you place just one ‘Add to Cart’ button on your product page in order to stay compliant with Facebook’s policies.
It is highly recommended that you remove any other ‘Add to Cart’ button from the page whether it is in the top bar or placed as a sticky button before you apply for the whitelisting.
3: Tell your customer what they should subscribe to
To enhance the customer experience and to stay compliant with Facebook’s policy, there’s some informative text on the widget.
You can edit the text, but it should clearly tell what kind of messages or notifications the customer can expect from CareCart.

With the popularity of social media marketing, Messenger marketing has become the most effective way to reach out to your customers. Knowing your subscribers is always good to make their online shopping personalized. So, we have added a Subscribers page in our app.
In the Subscribers page,you’ll get some basic information about your subscribers who have shared their personal information with you.
Messenger subscription works a bit differently and doesn’t show everyone. Only those customers will be visible who have replied to your message.
Subscriber list page offers you a great deal of opportunity. You can easily identify the influencer among your customers for future collaborations. This will also help you to get a better understanding of your customer base.
Facebook Messenger widgets are awesome tools to get your customers subscribed with just one click. This will allow you to reach out to your customers with fully automated Messenger campaigns .After enabling the Messenger widget, it will be displayed on the product page right under the Add to Cart button.
With CareCart Messenger app you get two different Messenger widgets:
Add to Cart Widget
As mentioned above, this widget will be displayed under the ‘Add to Cart’ button on the product page. When the customer clicks ‘Add to Cart’ and once the subscription box is checked,then it will automatically subscribe the customer to your Messenger list.
You can enable this Widget from the CareCart dashboard by simply turning on the functionality and selecting the widget.
Discount Widget
This widget is ideal if you want to get Messenger subscriptions as it will encourage the customers to subscribe in exchange for a discount.
This widget is also placed under the ‘Add to Cart’ button just like the ‘Add to Cart’ Widget.
When you enable Discount Widget then you need to create discount code in the Shopify Admin area(the discounts section).
Enable the widget and check it on your store in a new private window.
In case you need any help, you can contact us
CareCart offers two Messenger widgets that can be used on the product page. Your ultimate goal by using any of the two widgets is to maximize the opt-in rate to your Messenger subscribers list. You clearly need to understand which widget is more suitable for your store.
Let’s figure out which widget you should use. We’ll now take a look at how ‘Add to Cart’ widget and ‘Discount Widget’ help you to achieve one common goal of increasing subscriptions but with different functionalities.
First of all, enable ‘Add to Cart’ widget from the CareCart Messenger Dashboard.
After enabling, open a new incognito window and sign in to your Facebook account.
Then, in a new tab of the same private window, open your store and go to a product page. You will see the ‘Add to Cart’ widget,which is placed under the ‘Add to Cart’ button.
The important thing to see is whether the widget is pre-checked.
If the widget is unchecked then you should look at the other option, the Discount Widget. To get a maximum number of subscriptions you need to offer some discount to your customers.
Discount Widget
To enable the Discount Widget, go to CareCart Messenger Dashboard, then select the Discount Widget and edit it to set a discount value.
You also need to create discount code in Shopify admin panel and then add the code into the widget editor.
It totally depends.If you had it pre-checked earlier, then the CareCart’s Messenger widget will be pre-checked on your store.
Facebook has changed their policy regarding this widget and now they do not accept any applications for the pre-checked widget.
CareCart only works with future abandoned carts that are abandoned after installing the CareCart app. However, it does import previous abandoned checkouts up to last 90 days.
So, you can reach out to your customers who abandoned the checkouts prior to CareCart and bring them back to complete the purchase.
We suggest that you only use CareCart to track and recover all your abandoned carts because it can handle the job pretty well. However, you can use other cart recovery services along with CareCart.
Remember that most of the cart recovery tools do not capture all abandoned carts, instead, they only work on abandoned checkouts. CareCart works differently by capturing user info even before they land on the checkout page, thus have a high conversion rate.
All features of CareCart will work just fine in the presence of any other cart recovery tool and it won’t block other services either. In such a case, you’ll end up sending more than necessary emails to the customers.
We are continuously working to add more features to the CareCart application. Hence, we strongly suggest that you use CareCart as your cart recovery service.
The short answer is, absolutely not! CareCart loads on the Shopify store asynchronously. Thus, not blocking the other parts of the page that are in downloading phase.
CareCart uses the global CDN to deliver all the images and stylesheets which is not placed on the critical render path of your store. We comply with the strict coding standards of Shopify apps store, this is why CareCart does not slow down the page load speed of your store.

DMARC stands for “Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance.” A DMARC Policy tells the email receivers like Microsoft (Hotmail, Live, Outlook etc), Gmail, Yahoo! and other DMARC Internet Service Providers who adopted DMARC what to do if an email fails the DMARC check.
Gmail joins Yahoo and AOL by implementing the strict DMARC policy. It has been developed in order to defend email users from a large amount of spam and phishing messages. Applying this policy means that emails from @gmail.com, @aol.com and @yahoo.com (the entire list of domains is available here) can be sent using only their original servers.
If you send bulk email campaigns with any 3rd party email marketing software and use a Yahoo, Gmail or AOL email address as the sender’s email address (a.k.a. FROM email), your emails will be rejected (hard bounce). Why? Because the emails you sent were from servers of your email marketing software instead of from a Google, Yahoo or AOL server.
This problem applies to all 3rd party email marketing software (not only CareCart).
DMARC’s alignment feature prevents spoofing of the “header from” address by:
First of all, Messenger apps can cause a real issue with CareCart. This is due to some technical limitations where Facebook only allows the use of one Messenger application.
If you use more than one Messenger application then they will block each other and the functionality will also fail.
So, avoid installing Messenger chat applications to your store. CareCart does have a built-in chat feature which can be enabled by simply turning it on in the Messenger dashboard.
Secondly, all the other apps that make any changes in the Shopify’s process, will likely block the CareCart’s functionalities. CareCart needs to get some information about the carts and orders to determine when to run a specific abandoned cart recovery campaign. Installation of apps like upselling apps, custom discount apps, installment apps, and custom checkout apps will block the campaigns.
To learn more about this, you can always contact CareCart team.
Once you have uninstalled CareCart app, you need to remove liquid code from theme.liquid file.
Please follow the steps shown below in the screenshots in order to correctly remove the remaining code of CareCart app.
Go to Themes and then click “Actions” drop down menu button.
Then click “Edit Code”
Now go to theme.liquied and scroll down to find the CareCart code.
Code starts like <!–StartCartCartCustomCode–>
and ends like <!–EndCareCartCustomCode–>
Select and remove the code.
Don’t forget to save the changes after removing the code.
When you look at the CareCart Messenger campaigns from your inbox, you’ll see that some buttons such as ‘Buy Now’ appear as disabled and you can’t click on them.
There’s nothing to worry about, it happens only because of Facebook’s privacy settings. These buttons are only clickable by the people who receive them.
CareCart is great at capturing the emails. If a customer subscribes to the newsletter and also abandons the cart without providing the details, CareCart then associates the email with that cart abandoner.
However, if the cart abandoner does not enter the email anywhere on your store, then it becomes impossible to collect it. This is shown as ‘Anonymous’ in the emails column. In this case, CareCart stores all the available information and also provide the user’s IP address and Country information. This will help you to understand your customers more, provide you with their locations, and tell you what kind of carts they abandon
