About CartBoss
What is CartBoss?
CartBoss is an SMS abandoned cart recovery app for Shopify stores. It automatically sends text message reminders to shoppers who leave your store without completing a purchase, bringing them back to their carts via a direct link—often with a discount applied—to close more sales.
The problem it solves
Over 70% of online shoppers abandon their carts at checkout. CartBoss solves this by re-engaging those customers with SMS reminders that achieve a 99% open rate and a 50%+ click rate. The app has already recovered over 7 million carts for thousands of Shopify sellers, turning would-be lost sales into revenue.
Who is it for?
CartBoss is designed for busy Shopify store owners—from small businesses to established e-commerce brands—who want an easy, hands-free way to recover lost sales. It’s especially useful for stores with high cart abandonment or those looking to boost revenue without extra marketing effort. It is not for non-Shopify platforms.
Key features and use cases
CartBoss works out of the box with a 2-minute install, no coding required. You can customize messages, timing, and discounts to match your brand. With global reach and respect for DND and silent hours, it works worldwide, so you can reach customers in different time zones without annoying late-night pings. Real-world use cases include fashion stores, electronics shops, home & living brands, and pet stores—all seeing significant sales lifts.
