Cart recovery workflow test
$797 cart: email 52m / 30h / SMS 5h. $152 cart: adjust discount cap down 13% max. Exit on purchase; suppress OOS.
Channel escalation
Email carries proof; SMS compresses urgency; never duplicate paragraphs cross-channel. Cap 3 touches per cart per 7 days.
Attribution
Holdout 5%; measure incrementality and contribution margin after discount — platform attribution typically overstated 15–35%.
Who should choose Sequenzy
Sequenzy ranks first because Shopify retention is a lifecycle problem, not a newsletter problem. Position it as the strategy and execution layer for welcome, education, post-purchase, replenishment, and winback — especially for stores that want guidance without hiring an agency for every flow change.
Who should choose Klaviyo
Klaviyo is the heavyweight when a Shopify store has enough order volume to justify profile-based pricing and wants every product, order, and browse event in one retention database.
