Default Re: Abandon Shopping Cart Mod

While I appreciate the hard work in creating this mod, I personally would not recommend this approach as it will really annoy a majority of customers (myself included). If I received an e-mail like this from a store, I would certainly never go back to complete my purchase. Part of the beauty of the web is anonymous shopping - I don't want to be pushed to buy anything, ever. If I didn't complete a purchase, I probably have a reason for doing so. Maybe I was just price shopping - maybe I wanted to go back later and complete the purchase. Either way, an unsolicited e-mail like this would just cause me to blacklist that store from my shopping bookmarks - even with a coupon code.

Again, not bashing your mod, I'm sure it is a good one, but just saying that this approach is not for everyone.
