Recover abandoned carts.
Multiply lifetime value.
OpenClaw recovers abandoned carts, sends proactive shipping updates, times review requests perfectly, triggers reorder reminders, and identifies your VIP customers. Ecommerce lifecycle marketing that runs 24/7 on a $5/month server.
The Ecommerce Revenue Problem
You are spending to acquire customers you never retain.
Most ecommerce brands spend 80% of their budget on acquisition and 10% on the touchpoints that actually determine whether a customer comes back. The biggest revenue opportunities are post-click.
70% of your carts are abandoned. Most never come back.
Seven out of ten shoppers add products and leave. Your generic "you forgot something" email goes out 6 hours later. By then they bought from a competitor, forgot why they wanted it, or got distracted permanently. The window is 30 minutes, not 6 hours.
After the order, radio silence.
Customer buys. Gets an order confirmation. Then nothing until a tracking number appears days later. Between purchase and delivery is the highest-anxiety window. Customers checking tracking pages obsessively could be getting proactive updates that build trust and set up the next purchase.
Reviews trickle in because nobody asks at the right time.
Your review request goes out the day the order ships. The customer has not even received the product yet. By the time they use it and form an opinion, your email is buried. Timing the ask for 3 to 5 days after delivery changes everything.
Repeat purchases depend on you remembering to reach out.
Your customer bought a 60-day supply of supplements, skincare, or coffee 55 days ago. Nobody on your team is tracking that. Without a reorder reminder, they buy from whoever shows up in their feed. The customer you already paid to acquire walks straight to a competitor.
What OpenClaw automates
9 workflows that grow revenue and retention.
Start with cart recovery. Add the rest as you see the impact on your numbers. Each automation compounds customer lifetime value.
01
Abandoned Cart Recovery Sequences
Tools: Shopify, WooCommerce, Klaviyo, Twilio
Cart abandoned. Within 30 minutes, OpenClaw sends a personalized email with the exact products, their images, and a direct link back to the cart. Hour 4: a follow-up with a subtle urgency angle (low stock, price change soon). Hour 24: a small incentive if configured. Each message is personalized to the specific products, not a generic template.
02
Proactive Shipping Updates
Tools: ShipStation, Shopify, Twilio, Gorgias
Order ships. OpenClaw sends branded tracking updates at key milestones: shipped, in transit, out for delivery, delivered. Customers get proactive updates before they think to check. Support tickets about order status drop dramatically. Each update includes a subtle cross-sell recommendation.
03
Review Request Timing
Tools: Shopify, Stamped, Yotpo, Twilio, Klaviyo
OpenClaw tracks delivery confirmation. 3 to 5 days after the package arrives (enough time to try the product), the customer gets a review request with a product photo and a one-click rating link. Happy reviewers get a thank-you discount for their next order. This timing alone triples your review collection rate.
04
Restock and Replenishment Campaigns
Tools: Shopify, Klaviyo, Twilio, Google Sheets
Consumable product purchased. OpenClaw calculates the expected depletion date based on the product type and order size. Sends a reorder reminder 5 to 7 days before the customer runs out. Includes a one-click reorder link with the same product, same quantity. Customers on subscriptions get a separate renewal confirmation flow.
05
VIP Customer Identification and Treatment
Tools: Shopify, Klaviyo, Gorgias, Google Sheets
OpenClaw monitors order history and identifies customers who cross your VIP threshold (total spend, order frequency, review activity). VIPs get early access to new products, exclusive discounts, and priority support routing. A customer who feels special spends more and stays longer.
06
Low-Stock and Back-in-Stock Alerts
Tools: Shopify, WooCommerce, Klaviyo, Twilio
Product running low? OpenClaw sends urgency-based messages to customers who viewed it or have it in a wishlist. Product back in stock? Instant notification to everyone who signed up for the alert. Captures purchase intent at the exact moment the customer is most ready to buy.
07
Seasonal and Promotional Campaigns
Tools: Klaviyo, Meta Ads, Shopify, Google Analytics
Black Friday, Valentine's Day, back-to-school. OpenClaw segments your audience based on purchase history and browsing behavior, builds personalized campaigns for each segment, schedules the sends, and monitors performance in real time. Reports delivered to Slack with click rates, revenue, and top-performing products.
08
Return Processing and Win-Back
Tools: Gorgias, Shopify, Returnly, Twilio
Return request submitted. OpenClaw asks why, offers alternatives (exchange, store credit, different size), and processes the return if the customer insists. Captures the reason for your product team. 30 days after the return, sends a win-back offer with a personalized recommendation based on their browsing history.
09
Weekly Performance Dashboard
Tools: Shopify, Google Analytics, Meta Ads, Slack
Every Monday: revenue, AOV, conversion rate, top-selling products, cart abandonment rate, email performance, and ad ROAS. Compared to last week and last year. Delivered to Slack before your Monday meeting. Your entire team starts the week knowing exactly where the business stands.
Customer nurturing on autopilot
From first browse to loyal repeat buyer. Automatically.
Every visitor, every cart, every customer gets the right message at the right time. No manual segmentation. No forgotten follow-ups.
Visitor Views Products
A shopper browses your store, views 3 products, adds nothing to cart. OpenClaw captures the viewed products and browsing behavior for personalized follow-up.
Browse Abandonment Email
"Still thinking about the [Product Name]?" Email with the exact products they viewed, customer reviews, and a subtle nudge. No discount yet, just relevance.
Cart Created
Shopper adds products but does not complete checkout. OpenClaw starts the recovery timer with the exact cart contents, prices, and product images.
First Cart Recovery
"Your cart is waiting." Product images, direct link back, and a reminder of shipping times. Clean, branded, personal. No incentive needed on the first touch.
Second Recovery Touch
"Still interested?" Low-stock notification if applicable. Customer testimonial for the product. A different angle that addresses common purchase hesitations.
Final Recovery with Incentive
Small discount or free shipping offer if configured. "Last chance" framing. One-click checkout link. This is where the remaining recoverable carts convert.
Order and Delivery Updates
Confirmation, shipping notification, in-transit update, delivery confirmation. Each touchpoint branded and including a complementary product recommendation.
Review and Reorder
Review request timed to when they have actually used the product. Reorder reminder based on product consumption cycle. Referral incentive for happy customers.
Lifecycle Marketing
VIP identification, seasonal campaigns, back-in-stock alerts, birthday offers, win-back sequences. Every customer gets the right message at the right time based on their behavior.

More revenue from the traffic you already have.

The intelligence layer
Quick math: If you recover 10% of abandoned carts on 100 daily abandoned carts at $65 AOV, that is $650 per day in recovered revenue, or roughly $19,500 per month. OpenClaw costs $5/month to run. The ROI is not a question.
