How Does the Timer Work?

Step One: Setting Up Automatic Order Expiration (For Admins)

The admin enables the order timer in the company settings and decides if they want a salesperson to be notified by email when an order expires.

Step Two: Shopping Cart Timer (For Customers)

The time to checkout automatically starts when you add the first item to your shopping cart.

Step Three: Order Expiration (What Happens)

If you don't complete your purchase before the timer runs out, the system will cancel your order and clear the shopping cart.

Step Four: Order Cancellation Notification (For Customers)

You'll receive a notification on the app and an email letting you know the system canceled your order due to inactivity.
