Using {{ event.extra.checkout_url}} to recover abandon carts, but I can't click the link inside the email.

Hey Dov,

Thank you for your reply.

I just checked and you are right: we don’t use “Checkout Started” in the flow that is causing problems.

We are using, as a trigger, “Add to Cart” – custom event.

This is the guide we followed: 

https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001396711-Guide-to-Creating-an-Added-to-Cart-Event-for-Shopify

So I suppose in this case we need to use something else instead of “{{ event.extra.checkout_url}}”.

Thank you for your support and have a great day,

Luca

@Dov Appreciate the in-depth review above. 

I’m setting up a similar flow and finding that the “Add to Cart” custom event property list does not include a Checkout URL. Assuming this is an expected property based on your comments above, can you advise on why this property may be missing? Hoping to minimize friction in the consumer experience by directing them to checkout rather than an item or their cart. 

@lucafo can you confirm that this method worked for you?

I was able to solve this using the following input for the checkout link, which loops to construct a cart URL: 
https://www.yourshopdomain.com/cart/{% for item in event.items %}{{ item.variant_id }}:{{ item.quantity|floatformat:'0' }},{% endfor %}

This adds recurring comma-separated values of product “variant.id”, each followed by a colon and no-decimal quantity integer (hence setting the floatformat to ‘0’), which should reconstruct the cart using the items logged in your event. 

Let me know if that works for you!

Thanks for great input! This link lands on checkout process… Anyway to change it to make it land on the cart?

Thank you!
