Prompt text
Analyze checkout abandonment and design a recovery strategy.

Checkout data: {{checkout_data}}
CartAbandonment rate: {{abandonment_rate}}
Average order value: {{aov}}

1. Abandonment by checkout step:
   Which steps lose the most customers?
   - Step 1 (Enter email/sign up): high drop here = account creation friction
   - Step 2 (Shipping details): drop here = unexpected shipping cost or complexity
   - Step 3 (Payment details): drop here = trust or payment method issue
   - Step 4 (Order review): drop here = final price concern or last-minute doubt
   Map drop-off rate at each step.

2. Abandonment reasons (from exit surveys or user research):
   - Unexpected shipping costs (primary reason cited in ~50% of cases)
   - Forced account creation
   - Complicated checkout process
   - Payment security concerns
   - Just browsing / not ready to buy
   - Found a better price elsewhere
   Which of these apply based on the data signals?

3. Immediate fix opportunities (no A/B test required):
   - Show shipping cost early: display on product page and cart, before checkout
   - Enable guest checkout: remove account requirement or make it optional after purchase
   - Add trust signals: SSL badge, money-back guarantee, security certifications near payment field
   - Reduce form fields: remove any non-required fields
   - Save progress: if user leaves, preserve their cart and form data

4. Cart abandonment email sequence:
   Email 1 (1 hour after abandonment):
   - Subject: 'You left something behind'
   - Content: items in cart, strong CTA, no discount yet
   - Goal: recapture the 30% who abandoned due to distractions

   Email 2 (24 hours):
   - Subject: 'Your cart is waiting - and here's 10% off'
   - Content: discount offer with urgency (expires in 48 hours)
   - Goal: recapture price-sensitive abandoners

   Email 3 (72 hours):
   - Subject: 'Last chance - your cart expires soon'
   - Content: urgency reminder, social proof on the products

5. Recovery revenue estimate:
   - Current recovered revenue from email sequence (if any)
   - Expected recovery rate with optimized sequence: industry benchmark 10-15% of abandoned carts
   - Annual revenue opportunity: abandonment volume x AOV x expected recovery rate

Return: step-by-step abandonment analysis, root cause hypothesis, immediate fixes, email sequence design, and revenue recovery estimate.
