The customer already showed interest. Something just interrupted the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a creator, it can be frustrating to see a customer click \u201cBuy Now\u201d and not complete their purchase. It feels like you lost a sale. But in most cases, you didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s How to Recover Sales From Abandoned Carts On Selar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What\u2019s really happening when a sale is abandoned<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a customer clicks &#8220;Buy Now&#8221; but doesn&#8217;t complete the payment, whether they leave the page, their payment fails, or their session times out, the item will be added to the abandoned carts on Selar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This happens for simple reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>They got distracted<\/li><li>Their payment didn\u2019t go through<\/li><li>Their network was unstable<\/li><li>They paused and didn\u2019t come back<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a rejection. It\u2019s just an incomplete purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What Selar is already doing for you<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When this happens, Selar doesn\u2019t just notify you; it also helps you recover the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>You get notified<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll receive an email showing you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>What the customer tried to buy<\/li><li>The total amount<\/li><li>The customer\u2019s details<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It also lets you know that Selar has already followed up with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to reach out yourself, you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The customer gets a follow-up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Selar automatically sends emails to the customer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>15 minutes after they leave<\/li><li>24 hours later<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each email includes a temporary virtual bank account they can pay into directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The account stays active for 6 hours, so they have time to complete the payment without starting over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once payment is made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The sale is completed<\/li><li>The product is unlocked<\/li><li>Both you and the customer receive confirmation emails<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The customer doesn\u2019t need to revisit your store or click any links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is handled for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Bank transfer at checkout<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common reason customers drop off is not seeing their preferred payment option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix this, <a href=\"https:\/\/selar.com\/blog\/product-update-drive-more-sales-with-bank-transfer-checkout-and-abandoned-cart-vba\/\">bank transfer is now available<\/a> directly on the checkout screen for Naira payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers can choose to pay via transfer right away, completing their purchase without extra steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once payment is made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The sale is completed<\/li><li>The product is unlocked<\/li><li>Both you and the customer receive confirmation emails<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This reduces drop-offs before they even happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Want to recover more sales?
