A cart saver campaign encourages visitors who have started the checkout process to complete their purchase if they indicate they are about to leave. A cart saver campaign combines exit-intent triggers with a popup display, page targeting, and a special offer to make sure that you're taking your best shot to close a sale every time.
You might be saying, "But I can't give out discounts for every purchase," and that makes total sense. With a tiered approach, you're able to save the higher discounts for large cart values while providing lower, less costly incentives to those with smaller cart values. This strategy ensures your incentives are being used to drive the most value for your business.

Note: The audience targeting used in this guide is only available to Privy accounts integrated with BigCommerce, Shopify, Squarespace, or Wix storefronts.
Recommended strategy
A successful tiered cart saver strategy typically consists of three levels of incentive. For example, a cart value between $0-$99 results in an offer for free shipping, while a cart value of $100-$249 triggers an offer to save $10, and carts with over $250 trigger an offer to save 10%.
This means you'll need at least three separate campaigns running at the same time.
Create the campaigns
To implement a tiered cart saver strategy like the one outlined above:
- Follow these steps to create your tier one campaign and configure any desired follow-up steps. Do not worry about targeting at this time, and do not publish the campaign.
- Next, follow these steps to copy the original campaign and make the desired changes to the campaign - specifically the associated coupon code. Other changes might include a slightly different design and wording. Like with the tier one campaign, do not worry about targeting at this time and do not publish the campaign.
- Now, create one last copy and make desired changes to reflect your tier three offer. Unlike the first two campaigns, please navigate to the Target step and use the targeting conditions shown below in the Who To Show It To settings. Save these changes, move to the Follow-up step and Publish the campaign.
- Finally, work backward and add targeting conditions for the tier 2 and tier 1 cart saver campaigns you created. These conditions ensure the visitor has the desired cart value and hasn't already received another offer during today's shopping session.
Tier-1 Cart Saver | Tier-2 Cart Saver |
Cart value is greater than 0 | Cart value is greater than or equal to $100 |
Cart value is less than or equal to $99 | Cart value is less than or equal to $249 |
Campaign seen (this session) is not Tier 2 Cart Saver or Tier 3 Cart Saver | Campaign seen (this session) is not Tier 1 Cart Saver or Tier 3 Cart Saver |
- Publish the tier 2 and tier 1 campaigns.
Congratulations! You just took a huge step towards growing your business. The tiered cart saver strategy is the “secret sauce” that many of Privy's most successful merchants rely on to reduce abandoned carts and drive sales.
