What sellers should know.
This page is written for ecommerce teams that need clear decisions, not surface-level definitions.
Abandoned cart, post-purchase, review, reorder and winback flows should be mapped by category.
WhatsApp should be helpful and timely, not spammy.
Apex connects retention flows to AOV, repeat rate and MER.
