Hello @ricbrooks,
When you’re previewing your email, are you previewing it as the same Started Checkout event you triggered yourself or as an actual site visitor?
One thing I can think of that could be causing this behavior was if you were previewing the email as a customer that has already completed their purchase. In which case, because the purchase was already completed, the cart/basket would not be retrievable - resulting in the CTA leading to an empty cart page.
In my experience, on smaller instances, I’ve also seen this sort of behavior if you were using a custom or third-party checkout service that may be causing some confusion or disconnect. For example, if you use a custom checkout service, depending on how it is setup, you may need to trigger your flow off of a custom Started Checkout event as opposed to the standard WooCommerce one. Although you may be able to build a flow off of the WooCommerce Started Checkout event, the full data potentially may not be relayed as part of the event causing a disconnect when you’re trying to build your flow emails out.
I hope this helps!

Hi David, I have the same issue and I’m using CartFlow as custom checkout.
Can you help me fix this issue?
I can bring back my customer to checkout page easily, but all fields are empty so this is not properly a checkout recovery.
Thanks
