Send abandoned cart emails in multiple languages
If your store serves customers in multiple languages, you can send abandoned cart recovery emails in each customer's native language. Create a separate automation for each language and duplicate for additional languages.
Create a new abandoned cart automation
Go to the Abandoned Carts page, create a new automation, and give it a language-specific name (e.g., "Abandoned Cart - German").
Set timing and add a language filter
Set your abandonment timing (e.g., more than 1 day). Then click Show advanced filters, select the Language field, and choose your target language (e.g., German).
Build the email and configure the recovery URL
Use the Email Builder to write the email in your target language. For the recovery link, use the {recovery_url} variable and append the language parameter:
URL parameter sites (e.g.,
?lang=de): append&lang=deto the variableDirectory-based sites (e.g.,
/de/shop): append&redirect_url=https://yourstore.com/de/checkout
Set the email locale under Other settings → Advanced to ensure dates and automated text appear in the correct language.
Activate and duplicate for additional languages
Save and activate. To add more languages, duplicate the automation from the Abandoned Carts page and update the language filter, email content, and locale setting.
