While on the same subject, I reckon that the last point mentioned in the features list (Track collected revenue) is as much important as the entire functionality of reminder mechanism.

It allows you to find out how much revenue the module has collected (from potentially lost orders) and consequently you can easily calculate a payback period of the module's cost.

Glad to see X-Cart Developers still have enough fuel in their tanks

Just to inform you, today they released (it is public) other two modules very useful for all X-Carters - one for backup, the other one for filtering (this one is very promising, I do recommend to have in your store such of module).

Are any of these new modules bundled with gold plus?

I am fascinated by abandoned cart emails however I'm also terrified that these emails will scare away my best customers.

Amazon sends abandoned cart emails to me every now and then, but not for every item that I abandon and not all the time. I have not been able to figure out Amazon's formula for sending the abandoned cart emails.

Obviously if we do not have the customer's email address then this is not going to work. But if a customer logs out does the cookie still tell the cart who the customer is? I already have the remember abandoned carts mod from Website CM and I have WCM's remember me mod. I wonder how the WebsiteCM remember anon carts mod will interact with this new mod? Jon?

I am also doing remarketing with AdWords, and that is already creepy to some customers. "How do ads for xxxxxx show up when i'm reading websites unrelated to your company or products? And your ads follow me around!??? How do you know what sites to advertise on so they always appear wherever I am surfing?" -- I received this email from a good customer! I need to exclude customers with recent conversions from the remarketing list!

The language that is used for this is CRUCIAL to working as intended vs. destroying goodwill. I am not sure this is right for my customers.

I know some merchants want this mod, but I really would like to see real-world success stories -- many marketing bloggers say DO NOT DO THIS. I'm on the fence.

Is there anyway we can play with an admin demo of the filter module?

You do not include enough screen shots of this.

We are up to introduce some changes to X-cart demo including installation of Refine Filters to it and updating demo products to represent the module better.

I'll make a separate forum thread.

Thats great news.


Thank you very much.

These are separate modules not included into any X-Cart edition.
