In a real operating workflow

Return to the selected trip without rebuilding the booking.

Maya chooses a surf week, a twin room and a transfer, then leaves before paying. Where contact details and permission are available, a relevant follow-up gives her a route back to those selections. The booking checks availability again before she commits.

Saved choices are a starting point for checkout. They are not a held place or collected revenue.

How it works

Set it up for the way you operate.

01

Keep meaningful booking selections

Retain the departure and choices needed to resume the journey when contact details and permission are available.

02

Send a focused follow-up

Use a branded message and recovery link. Keep the wording about the selected trip and next step, with contact preferences respected.

03

Recheck before confirmation

A saved cart is not held inventory. Check the current price and availability when the guest returns and show any changes before payment.

  3. Payments & revenue visibility

    Review booking value, collected payments, outstanding balances and capacity across departures and locations.

Questions, answered

Practical questions about booking recovery

Will a saved cart hold capacity?

No. Availability is checked again when the guest resumes, before they confirm.

Does every abandoned visit receive an email?

No. Recovery requires usable contact details and the appropriate permission. Anonymous browsing is not a contact list.
