How e-commerce Brands Can Recover More than 27% of their Abandoned Carts with Voice-Led AI: A step-by-step guide

Abandoned carts are the silent killers of e-commerce growth. You spend on multiple acquisition channels, bring shoppers to your site, see them add products to their cart—and then? Poof! 

They vanish. No order. No sale. No explanation.

And then your team gets into the retargeting drama: the most perfectly timed emails and WhatsApp messages with coupon codes, and “your offer expires at midnight” messages.Let’s not forget the retargeting ads – which might recover a small percentage. After all this, brands still lose 60–80% of potential revenue to cart abandonment.

But what if your brand could speak to these customers, instantly and intelligently—without hiring a team of agents? Sounds expensive, and time consuming, right?

That’s where Vani AI comes into the picture. Apply here for a quick demo to Vani.

Way to recover abandoned carts:

Passive channels like emails, WhatsApp messages, SMS, or push notifications for abandoned cart recovery work – but only to a point.

As these channels are mostly one-way communication, they don’t address: 

• Simple doubts customers may have (e.g. shipping timelines)
• Payment hesitations (e.g. is COD available?)
• Decision paralysis (e.g. “Do I really need this?”)

Customers often just need a nudge or a quick answer to complete their purchase. That’s where a real-time conversation can make all the difference.

1. A cart is abandoned on your site.
2. Vani AI calls the customer with a natural-sounding voice.
3. It asks if they need help completing the order or answers any quick questions.
