Is it possible to get cart abandonment statistics? What is the best cart abandonment solution?

Question

Magento 1.9.1.0

Is there a way to get cart abandonment statistics? I don't mean the number of visitors but the actual not finished sales. And what do you recommend as a solution that would send out a reminder (you have items in your cart - click here to check-out) kind of a solution?

Answer 1

You can use events sales_quote_add_item and sales_order_place_after log entries for statistics and compare quote items
