Abandoned Cart
Description
Highlights
About the Extension
On average, 70% of consumers abandon their online shopping carts.* They frequently place items in their carts but leave the store before completing their purchase. Research shows that sending three cart abandonment emails increases revenue by 69% compared to sending a single email.* Prevent losing potential customers by automatically sending them personalized reminder emails using our Abandoned Cart plugin — with multi-step scheduling, promotion code support, B2B compatibility and, since version 3.1.0, a built-in consent and opt-out layer for shops that must ask permission before they may track a cart.

Advantages
Bring customers back — automatically and on schedule
A large percentage of consumers abandon their shopping carts every day. Our Abandoned Cart plugin makes it easy for Shopware stores to bring them back with automated reminder emails. You can configure a full multi-step reminder schedule — for example, a first email after 1 hour, a follow-up after 24 hours, and a final reminder after 72 hours — each using a different email template and message.
The plugin tracks exactly where each customer is in the sequence and sends the right email at the right time, without any manual effort.
Consent-driven tracking — built for the German and EU market
Since version 3.1.0 the plugin no longer assumes that every visitor may be tracked. It ships a complete consent layer for shops that operate under the GDPR (DSGVO) and § 25 TDDDG (the German provision formerly known as TTDSG), which require permission before a visitor's cart is stored and used for reminder emails.
- A real consent gate for guests. Enable Require cookie consent before tracking guest carts and a guest's cart is only stored — and only reminded — after that visitor has actively accepted the cart reminder cookie.
- Registered in Shopware's own cookie consent dialog. The plugin adds its own cookie group to the standard Shopware consent manager, so it appears next to your other cookie groups and is handled by the same dialog. No second banner, no custom storefront JavaScript, and no conflict with your existing consent tool.
- Withdrawal is honoured immediately. When a guest withdraws consent in the dialog, the stored cart of that guest is deleted right away — not merely skipped on the next send.
- Opt-out for account customers. Logged-in customers can unsubscribe from cart reminders on their own account page at any time. Unsubscribing deletes their stored cart on the spot, and an unsubscribed customer is never captured again.
- Disabled by default, per sales channel. The consent gate is off on installation, so updating to 3.1.0 never silently changes the behaviour of a running shop. You decide when it applies, and for which sales channels.
The plugin gives you the mechanism and the audit-friendly behaviour; which setting your shop needs remains a decision for you and your data protection officer.
Sweeten the deal with automatic discount codes
Take your recovery strategy a step further by attaching a unique, one-time promotion code to the cart recovery link. When a customer clicks the link in their reminder email, the discount is automatically applied to their restored cart — giving them an extra incentive to complete the purchase.
You can configure which Shopware promotion to draw codes from and exclude specific customer groups from receiving the discount.
One-click cart recovery
Each reminder email contains a personalized recovery link. When a customer clicks it, their exact cart — with all original products and quantities — is instantly restored in their browser session.
Depending on your configuration, the plugin can also automatically log the customer back in and pre-fill their billing and shipping details, making the path to checkout as frictionless as possible.
Gain additional customer insights
Beyond recovering lost sales, the plugin gives you visibility into your abandonment patterns. The administration dashboard shows you which abandoned carts are active, what products they contain, and how many reminder emails have been sent for each cart.
A built-in conversion metric tracks how many reminder emails have been sent overall and flags recovered orders in Shopware's order overview, allowing you to measure the direct revenue impact of your campaigns.
No more manual work
No one likes doing repetitive work manually. The plugin automates the entire abandoned cart lifecycle: carts are captured the moment a customer adds a product or reaches the checkout, reminders are sent according to your configured schedule, promotion codes are generated and replenished automatically after each send, and carts that have passed their expiry window are cleaned up without any intervention.
Data minimisation is part of that same cycle: a configurable decay time removes stored carts you no longer need, and a withdrawal or opt-out removes them immediately.
The only thing you need to do is configure your schedule, customize your email templates, and set your preferred decay time.
Flexible configuration for every store
The plugin is highly configurable per sales channel, including:
- A multi-step notification schedule with custom delays and email templates for each step
- A batch size limit per processing run to avoid triggering spam filters
- Optional CC email addresses to keep your team informed
- A configurable cart decay period to automatically clean up old records
- An opt-out option available directly from the customer's account page in the storefront, which also deletes the stored cart
- Support for guest customers, either open or behind the cookie consent gate
- Full B2B / Shopware Commercial compatibility, including employee-level cart tracking
Supports English, German, and Dutch out of the box
The plugin comes with ready-to-use email templates, storefront texts, cookie consent labels and admin translations in English (en-GB), German (de-DE), and Dutch (nl-NL).

Engagierter Support, aber bisher nicht wie erwartet nutzbar
Wir standen hierzu regelmäßig mit dem Hersteller in Kontakt. Der Support war bemüht und hat verschiedene mögliche Ursachen aufgezeigt, allerdings konnten wir die genaue Ursache bis heute leider noch nicht identifizieren. Aktuell planen wir ein Update unseres Shops auf eine neuere Shopware-Version und werden das Plugin anschließend erneut testen.
Leider konnten wir das Plugin bisher nicht wie erhofft produktiv nutzen, weshalb unsere Erfahrungen bislang eher durchwachsen sind.
Hat den Shop komplett zerbrochen!!!
Top tool and even better Support
