Abandoned Cart Recovery Through AI Voice Calls

Abandoned Cart Recovery Through AI Voice Calls

Every Shopify store faces the same challenge: abandoned carts.
Customers browse, add products, and then leave — often just steps away from checkout. Traditional recovery methods like email and SMS reminders help, but they’re limited by open rates and timing.

With Catana, you can recover those lost sales instantly using AI voice calls.
Instead of waiting for customers to check their inbox, Catana’s AI calls them directly — having a friendly, human-like conversation that guides them back to checkout.


Why Voice Works Better Than Email for Cart Recovery

Email open rates average around 20%, and most shoppers ignore reminders completely.
Voice calls, however, cut through the noise:

  • Immediate attention: Customers answer calls in real time.
  • Higher engagement: Conversations convert better than static messages.
  • Personal connection: AI can answer questions, offer help, or apply discounts.

Catana’s AI voice agents recover up to 3x more carts than traditional email campaigns.


How AI Voice Cart Recovery Works

1. Detects Abandoned Carts

When a customer adds items to their cart but doesn’t complete checkout, Catana detects the abandoned cart automatically through your Shopify data.


2. Calls the Customer in Real Time

Within minutes, Catana’s AI voice agent places a call to the customer.
It speaks naturally and references their order to make the interaction personal and relevant.

“Hi! I noticed you left a few items in your cart earlier. Would you like me to help you finish checking out?”


3. Answers Objections and Questions

If the customer hesitates, the AI can respond intelligently:

  • “Can I use my discount code?”
  • “Is this item still in stock?”
  • “When would it ship?”

Catana uses live data from your Shopify store to answer instantly — just like a real representative.


4. Offers Incentives to Close the Sale

Catana can apply limited-time discounts or free shipping automatically to encourage checkout completion.

“If you complete your order now, I can apply a 10% discount for you.”

These dynamic offers drive immediate conversions and build goodwill.
