CartCloseAI: three cart-rescue emails, one recommended pick.
Cart-rescue copy is mostly a tone problem. Urgency sent too soon scares buyers, and "we miss you" sent 48 hours in gets ignored. CartCloseAI gives you three tone-tuned variants and tells you which one fits your timing.
1
Open CartCloseAI
Go to /apps/cartcloseai/. Sign in at /portal/ if you're not already authenticated.
2 credits per brief. Plus's 75/month = 37 briefs. Most stores build a 3-touch sequence (3 briefs × 2 credits = 6 credits) and reuse it for months.

Brief the rescue: what + who + when
The form takes 4 inputs that change the tone significantly:
- Product: name + 1-line description. "Single-origin oat milk, $14 / 4-pack" beats "our oat milk."
- Customer: who's the typical abandoner? "First-time buyer browsing on mobile" produces different copy than "loyal customer who's bought 3× before."
- Cart value: drives whether to lean on price (under $40), value (mid), or status/scarcity (over $200).
- Timing: how long after abandonment will this email send? 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days. Each calls for different tactics.
Tip: brief one timing at a time.
If you're building a full 3-touch sequence (1 hour / 24 hours / 3 days), run CartCloseAI three times with the same product + customer but different timing inputs. Each brief gives you tone calibrated for that send window.

Read the 3 variants
| Variant | When it works best |
|---|---|
| Urgency | Scarcity, restock alerts, time-bound offers. Best for 24-48hr-out emails. Risky on touch #1 (too pushy). |
| Value | Re-states the benefit + adds a soft incentive (free shipping, bundle). Best for 1-24hr touches. |
| Soft | "Saw you were looking at X. Questions?" Conversational, low-pressure. Best for 3-7 day touches before you give up. |
Each variant card shows the "Pick for this timing" badge highlighting which the model recommends based on your timing input.

Copy the winner or stretch it in BrandVoice
Each variant has two buttons:
- Copy puts the full email (subject + body) on your clipboard. Paste into Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Shopify Email, or your ESP of choice.
- Tune in BrandVoice sends the variant into BrandVoice with your voice preset for a tighter, on-brand pass.

Export the full brief
Hit Export as Markdown for all 3 variants + the recommendation in one .md file. Useful for:

cart-rescue-launch-week.md,cart-rescue-holiday.md) - Sharing with your team for review before the sequence goes live
- Briefing a freelancer or copywriter to extend the sequence further
Cart-rescue reality check
- Subject lines matter more than body. 80% of recovery happens or doesn't at the open. CartCloseAI gives you a subject per variant. Test them with your tool's A/B feature.
- Timing > copy. The best rewrite in the world won't recover a cart if it sends 8 days late. Use CartCloseAI for the copy, but get your timing right first.
- Mobile-first. Most abandoners are on mobile. CartCloseAI defaults to short paragraphs and single CTAs. Keep it that way when you paste into your ESP.
