Automation - Failure to Send Abandonment Emails for Orders with Payment Declined

Automation - Failure to Send Abandonment Emails for Orders with Payment Declined

I've noticed that our automated emails for checkout abandonments aren't going out to customers who experience payment failures of any kind (like a 'card declined' situation). Based on my experience selling through Shopify, these issues often get resolved when customers make another payment attempt. It seems to be a communication glitch from the platform, and unfortunately, it happens more frequently than I'd like to acknowledge. However, our current automation system is overlooking these scenarios.

 

Is there a way we can set up an automation to ensure that checkout abandonment emails are sent to these customers as well?

Hi,

I am facing the same issue with my store.

The customers whose card payments are declined enter the abandoned checkout process but the email is not triggered due to some reason. Recently I found many such abandoned checkouts like that and they have not reattempted the payment process due to which I lost all those customers.

 

Did you find any solution to this issue?

 

Thanks,

Diana

I have the same issue, any workarounds you guys been using ? It seems you cant manually trigger the abandoned checkout flow on that particular customer either
