On-site use cases
These run on your storefront: homepage, product pages, category pages, cart. For the ones that run on checkout and after, see Checkout use cases.
Win back abandoned carts
| Use case | Form | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Abandoned Cart | Popup or Embedded | Shows people what they left in their cart |
| Abandoned Cart - Location Specific | Popup | The same, with a message tied to where they are |
Start here. The people these reach already chose a product, which makes them the easiest group on your site to convert.

Choosing between the recommenders
Four of these suggest products, and the difference is what they know about the visitor.
| Use case | Based on | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Bestseller | What everyone buys | First-time visitors |
| FBT Section | What buyers of this product also bought | Anyone on a product page |
| Recommended For You | This visitor's own history | Repeat visitors and customers |
| Product Recommendation Page | This visitor's own history | People you send there from a link |
The rule of thumb: when you know nothing about someone, show them what is popular. Once you know what they have browsed, show them that instead.
