Managing Recovery Cart
This functionality is used to remind the customer who put some products in his shopping cart but never completed the purchase that he can still do it. To encourage him to purchase these products, you can set up the system that will send him emails including the images of the products he wanted to purchase, as well as different coupons to get the extra discounts for this purchase.
