Help me set up an abandoned checkout recovery email sequence:

Email 1 — Gentle Reminder (1 hour after abandonment):

  Subject line: casual, no discount yet
  Body: remind them what they left behind, show product image, direct link back to cart
  Tone: helpful, not pushy


Email 2 — Social Proof (24 hours later):

  Subject line: create slight urgency
  Body: include a customer review or testimonial, mention limited stock if true
  Add trust signals (free returns, secure checkout)


Email 3 — Incentive (48-72 hours later):

  Subject line: offer a [10%] discount or free shipping
  Body: final nudge with the incentive, clear expiration on the offer
  Create the discount code automatically


For all emails:

  Keep copy under 150 words
  Mobile-friendly layout
  Single clear CTA button
  Personalize with customer first name and cart contents


My store: [STORE NAME], selling [PRODUCTS], AOV: $[AMOUNT]
