“Leaving so soon? Checkout Now for 10% off”

Example Message:
“₹120 away from Free Shipping”
3 - HELP NOTIFICATIONS
If a user spends more than 10-20 seconds in the cart without taking a single action, there's a good chance they are looking for help.

Example Message:
“Need help with your order?
Option 1 - Chat with us
Option 2 - Call us”
4 - COUNTDOWN
A timer always grabs the attention of users, as they create a sense of excitement! And instils FOMO.
