See every featureWith automatic abandon cart recovery, you can rest easy knowing that all those lost revenue opportunities will be made up for in no time at all. Kit Karts automatically aggregates all abandoned carts from the previous day and sends them to customers whenever you prefer.
Shoppers browse across devices, but Shopify carts don’t follow when they switch devices. Persistent Cart prevents lost sales by automatically syncing logged-in customers’ latest carts across devices in the background. No emails, pop-ups, notifications, opt-ins, or code changes — just seamless cart persistence that reduces abandonment, grows AOV, and helps shoppers keep buying instead of starting over.
