Brevo for Ecommerce: Product Recommendations & Cart Emails

Did you know the average ecommerce store loses 69.57% of potential sales to abandoned carts, according to Baymard Institute? That’s nearly 7 out of every 10 shoppers leaving without checking out. If you’re running an online store, you can’t afford to let that revenue slip away. Enter Brevo for Ecommerce: a powerful marketing platform that combines automated abandoned cart recovery with personalized product recommendations to drive repeat sales and boost customer lifetime value.

Why Choose Brevo for Ecommerce?

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is built specifically for small to mid-sized ecommerce brands that need affordable, easy-to-use marketing tools without the enterprise price tag. Unlike generic email platforms, Brevo integrates directly with popular ecommerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento to pull real-time customer and order data.

Two of its most high-impact features for online stores are automated abandoned cart emails and AI-driven product recommendations — tools that work together to turn casual browsers into loyal customers.

Recover Lost Revenue with Brevo Abandoned Cart Emails

How Brevo’s Abandoned Cart Automation Works

Brevo’s abandoned cart workflows trigger automatically when a shopper adds items to their cart but doesn’t complete checkout. You can set up multi-step sequences that send targeted emails at strategic intervals:

• 1 hour after abandonment: Friendly reminder with a clear "Complete Your Order" button
• 24 hours later: Email highlighting product benefits or limited-time free shipping
• 72 hours later: Final nudge with a small discount or low-stock alert for the items in their cart

Best Practices for Brevo Abandoned Cart Emails

To maximize recovery rates, follow these proven tips for your Brevo cart emails:

1. Include high-quality images of the exact items left in the cart
2. Add a prominent, mobile-friendly CTA button that links directly to the pre-filled cart
3. Personalize the email with the shopper’s first name and browse history
4. Test different subject lines to improve open rates (e.g., "You left something behind" vs "Your cart is waiting")
5. Never send more than 3 abandoned cart emails to avoid spam complaints

Drive Upsells with Brevo Product Recommendations

How Brevo’s Product Recommendation Engine Works

Brevo uses machine learning to analyze each customer’s purchase history, browse behavior, and cart contents to suggest products they’re actually likely to buy. You can add these recommendations to any email, including abandoned cart sequences, order confirmations, and post-purchase follow-ups.

Recommendations are pulled dynamically, so you never have to manually update product blocks — Brevo does the work for you. For more tips on personalizing customer experiences, check out our guide to ecommerce customer segmentation.

4 Ways to Use Brevo Product Recommendations for Ecommerce

• Post-purchase cross-sells: Recommend related items in order confirmation emails to drive repeat orders
• Win-back campaigns: Show lapsed customers products similar to their past purchases to re-engage them
• Seasonal promotions: Highlight trending products for holiday shoppers based on their previous browsing
