Stripe Checkout Recovery Agent

An expired Stripe checkout is the most qualified thing in your account: somebody chose the plan, typed their address, and then closed the tab. This agent reads each expired session, and where a real address is attached it leaves a three paragraph email in Gmail quoting the exact items and prices that were on the screen, offering only what your policy actually authorizes. Sessions with nobody to write to become a Slack line rather than a guess.

What people use it for

• Reach the nearly-customers - Someone who got as far as the payment page has done every hard part except the last click. A note the same day, naming what they picked, converts at rates cold outreach never touches.
• The policy is the offer - Recovery mail invents discounts nobody approved when it is written under pressure. Here the wording of any offer lives in one document, and an offer missing from it simply cannot appear in a draft.
• Strangers stay unwritten to - Guest checkouts often expire with no address on them at all. Those never produce mail, because inferring somebody's address from a company name is how a recovery program turns into a complaint.
• Quotes the cart, not a template - Every line item, quantity, and figure comes out of the session itself. The shopper recognizes their own basket instead of reading a generic reminder that could belong to anyone.

Before you fork

What has to be wired up first?

A Stripe credential that receives the expired checkout session event and can read sessions and customers, a Gmail mailbox where the drafts will sit, and one Slack channel. After that you write the recovery policy in plain English. The Test Runs include an anonymous session, so you can confirm it stays quiet on those before going live.

Can it invent a discount to close the sale?

Its instructions forbid any offer that is not written in your policy word for word, including codes, percentages, free delivery, and stock scarcity. Because every message is a draft, an offer you never approved would still have to get past you before a customer could read it.

Will this fill my drafts folder with junk?

Only sessions carrying a real address ever produce a draft, which on most stores removes a large share of expired sessions immediately. Your policy trims further with a minimum cart value, a quiet period, and exclusions. Everything filtered out still shows up as one Slack line, so the volume is visible rather than hidden.
