You can try out PushEngage for free. If you’re running a small blog that needs repeat traffic and engagement, that’s probably good enough. But if you’re serious about sales, you should get the Enterprise package and unlock the automated campaigns.
Once you’ve signed up for your PushEngage account, head over to your PushEngage dashboard and go to Site Settings » Site Details:
You can set your logo, site name, and site URL here. It’s really important to sort this stuff out right now so that you can test your entire setup later.

An abandoned cart campaign helps generate extra revenue by converting abandoned carts. It’s a simple reminder that sells a lot of products on autopilot. So, it’s a great campaign to support any landing page that brings in direct sales.
Just head over to your PushEngage dashboard and go to Campaigns » Triggered Campaigns » Create A New Triggered Campaign:
And then, select the Cart Abandonment campaign template:
