In the world of ecommerce, one of the biggest challenges is shopping cart abandonment, a problem that affects over 70% of users according to recent studies.

But what can businesses do to recover these lost sales and turn abandonment into opportunity? The answer lies in recarting—a proven, data-driven strategy designed to re-engage hesitant customers and dramatically boost conversions.

Unlike generic remarketing tactics, recarting leverages behavioral insights, personalized incentives, and strategic timing to reconnect with users exactly when they’re most likely to complete their purchase. Studies show that businesses implementing targeted recarting campaigns recover up to 30% of abandoned carts (SaleCycle, 2024), often with higher average order values due to smart cross-selling.

By combining urgency (e.g., ‘Only 2 left!’), exclusivity (‘Your 10% discount expires soon’), and seamless multi-channel outreach (WhatsApp, email, SMS), recarting doesn’t just salvage lost revenue—it strengthens customer relationships and fuels long-term loyalty.

In this article, we’ll explore:

• What is and why it’s crucial.
• Eye-opening statistics on cart abandonment.
• How OneMarketer helps you implement recarting effectively.

What is recarting?

Recarting is a remarketing technique that reminds users of the products they left in their shopping cart without completing the purchase. Unlike generic reminders like “Your cart is waiting,” recarting uses personalized messages, exclusive discounts, and urgency strategies to motivate customers to finalize their orders.

This strategy can be implemented through:
✔ Automated emails (most common).
✔ Push notifications (in browsers or apps).
✔ Social media messages (Facebook, Instagram).
✔ Retargeting ads (showing abandoned products on other websites).

Why is recarting important?

According to Baymard Institute, global eCommerce loses over $260 billion annually due to abandoned carts. However, well-executed recarting campaigns can recover up to 30% of lost sales while also improving customer experience through personalized messaging that boosts satisfaction and loyalty.

Key statistics on cart abandonment

A Statista  study revealed that the global cart abandonment rate stands at 69.8% (SaleCycle, 2024), translating to massive revenue losses for eCommerce businesses.

The problem worsens when analyzing the main causes:

• 48% of users abandon carts due to extra costs (shipping, taxes).
• 27% leave because of overly complicated checkout processes.

Opportunities to recover lost sales

The data doesn’t just highlight the problem—it also reveals the opportunity. Businesses that prioritize recarting on conversational channels (like WhatsApp) can recover up to 30% of lost sales.

The numbers prove the urgent need for effective recarting strategies, especially on high-conversion channels such as:

• WhatsApp (40% open rate).
• SMS (22% click-through rate).
• These outperform traditional email (only 20% open rate).

Additionally, addressing key abandonment triggers—such as offering free shipping or simplifying checkout—can significantly reduce abandonment rates.

The combination of smart automation (real-time reminders) and data analytics (personalized offers) has emerged as the most effective solution, as seen in case studies from leading industry reports.
