Win back abandoned carts and list on Google Shopping

Kaniva now emails shoppers who leave items in their cart, builds a Google Shopping product feed for you, and creates work orders on its own when a build-to-order sale is paid.

Three things that save a shop time every day: following up on carts, getting products in front of Google shoppers, and starting the build paperwork.

New this week

Abandoned cart emails

When a shopper leaves items in their cart, Kaniva emails them after a delay you choose (an hour by default), with pictures, prices and a Complete Your Order button.

  • Optionally include a discount code to nudge them over the line
  • Nobody is emailed if they've already ordered since
  • Turn it on in Settings → General → Abandoned Cart Recovery

A Google Shopping product feed

Kaniva builds the product list Google Merchant Center reads, kept up to date for you. Turn it on in Settings → General → Google Shopping Feed and copy the address it shows into Merchant Center.

  • Every active physical product with images, prices, stock and categories
  • Sale prices show alongside the regular price
  • Build-to-order products are listed as preorders

Work orders created when a build-to-order sale is paid

Choose per product whether a paid order makes one work order per unit, one for the whole quantity, or none.

  • Finishing every work order for an item moves it to shipped and frees its build slot
  • The order page shows progress, like "3/5 complete", and a Create Work Orders button for doing it by hand
