Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFailed payments happen when a customer's card is declined or an error interrupts checkout. Most of these sales are lost. RevivePay watches your store for failed payments and automatically emails the affected customer a link to resume their checkout. You control the email schedule, and every recovered order is tracked so you can see exactly how much revenue came back.
Majority checkouts end without payment. RecoverCart watches every checkout and, when a shopper abandons their cart, sends a two-step recovery email sequence with their exact items and a one-click link back to checkout. Add an optional discount code to the second reminder to convince hesitant buyers. Email delivery is included out of the box, and WhatsApp reminders work through your own Twilio account.
