Abandonment Capture Auditor
The Opportunity
A diagnostic tool that shows exactly how and when emails are captured for abandoned cart and browse flows, with a built-in test harness. Improves recovery rate by fixing gaps and consent issues.
"Merchants don’t understand how abandoned cart/browse emails are collected or how to test flows end-to-end."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Simulate user journeys to detect capture points (checkout email step, shop accounts, newsletter forms), validate consent flags, and verify automations in Shopify Email/Klaviyo/Omnisend with deliverability checks.
Target Audience
Merchants using Shopify Email or ESPs that want better abandoned revenue recovery
Competitive Landscape
ESP-native diagnostics (limited), Littledata (analytics focus), none specialized for capture auditing
Implementation Notes
Browser-based tester embedded in Admin; instrument storefront to log capture events and consent; map to Shopify customer/checkout objects; verify automation triggers via API; send test events to ESPs; report missing consent, blocked scripts, or theme issues; provide fixes and code snippets; track open/click rates via UTM tagging.
