Before you begin

Before you begin

Before you create this flow, make sure to do the following:

  • Integrate Klaviyo with Shopware 6 (see Getting started with Shopware 6 to learn how). As part of the integration process, make sure you:
    • Sync Started Checkout and Placed Order events. This requires you to toggle them on in your extension settings.
      Track Started Checkout and Track Placed Order toggled on to blue
    • Sync your Shopware 6 product catalog to Klaviyo. 
Create the flow

Create the flow

  1. In Klaviyo, select the Flows tab.
  2. Click Create Flow.
  3. Search for Abandoned cart, then select the Abandoned cart reminder: Standard flow for a custom ecommerce cart.
  • For Klaviyo flow purposes, Shopware is a custom ecommerce cart. Klaviyo provides pre-built flows with pre-filled data for custom ecommerce carts.

  • The window that appears will give you an overview of how the flow works, and what event triggers it (in this case, Started Checkout, synced from Shopware). This flow also relies on the Placed Order event for filtering. 
  • Click Create Flow.

  • In the flow builder, customize the flow and the emails within it to fit your brand. The flow emails will be automatically configured to show customers an item they’ve left behind, and bring them back to their carts via the Return to your cart button.
