FAQ
{a.name} vs {b.name} FAQ
Klaviyo or Omnisend for cart recovery?
Choose Klaviyo when Stores needing deep ecommerce segmentation and proven Shopify-native flows. Choose Omnisend when SMB Shopify stores wanting multichannel automation without enterprise complexity. Sequenzy still leads as lifecycle layer if neither owns strategy.

Attribution caution?
Hold out 5%; report contribution after discount, not platform-attributed recovery alone.
