Abandonment flows

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Goal: Increase recovery rate for abandonment flows

Block: product grid

Why use Zaymo for an abandonment flow?

Because of certain limitations, Zaymo is often not the right choice for an abandonment flow. You should not expect a significant lift in conversion rates. Make sure you read the known limitations below before deciding to use Zaymo for an abandonment flow.

Zaymo can make the abandonment email more engaging. Primary benefits are:

  1. Customers can change variants in the email

  2. You can pre-apply a discount code to the products in the email

  3. Zaymo product grids are better-designed than most Klaviyo product blocks

Implementation guide

Step 1: Create a non-interactive template in Klaviyo

Step 2: Insert the product grid in Zaymo

  • Import your template from Klaviyo into Zaymo

  • In Zaymo's builder, delete the CTA that links back to the PDP or collection with the Zaymo. Delete the dynamic product list as well

  • Add the Zaymo product grid block

  • Edit the branding to help the product grid block match the email

Step 3: Select the correct product feed in Zaymo

  • In the Product Feed setting of the product grid, choose either the Checkout Started Event or the Viewed Product Event

The Checkout Started Event works with any Klaviyo trigger with the extra.line_items.product.variant.id field or the items.variant_id field.

  • Checkout Started event

  • Added to Cart event

  • Etc.

The Viewed Product Event works with any Klaviyo trigger with the "ProductID" field.

  • Viewed Product event

  • Etc.

Step 4: Export to Klaviyo

  • Click on Preview / Export

  • In the previewer, test the email and ensure it looks as expected on desktop vs mobile and interactive vs fallback; you can also send yourself test emails to review

  • Click Export

  • The template will land in your Klaviyo template library

Step 5: Set the email live

  • Use the template in an abandonment flow

Known limitations

User can only go to checkout with one item

With a Zaymo product block, the email recipient cannot build a cart in-email. As a result, when they click the Go to checkout CTA, they will be redirected to checkout with that specific item--not a full cart.

If you typically have customers checking out with multiple items, a Zaymo abandoned cart setup is probably not right for you.
