Tips for connecting with retailers who have items in the cart

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Here's how to effectively handle communication with retailers outside your network:

How to see the open carts?

  • From My Network, using the filter "Items in Cart". That will display the retailers from your network that have your items in their carts

  • From Carts to Convert. This table show the retailers that are not in your network, with your items in their carts

What's the best way to make first contact?

Send a friendly welcome message through in-app messaging 

"Hello! I am [Name] from [Brand]. I saw that you liked my products. Can I help with anything?"

How should I present my brand?

Build trust by introducing the brand briefly.
Highlight your unique value:

  • Product quality/story

  • Consider suggesting complementary products

  • Mention any relevant certifications (organic, made in France, …) or achievements

You can offer assistance with building a first order, as retailers may not know which products to order first to have a good representation of your brand in their shop. Our advice is to focus on building a relationship rather than pushing for immediate sales.

What incentives work best?

  • Offer a personalized discount for their first order
    "Hello again, a [-%] discount is waiting for you if you’d like to discover my products! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any help or information!"

  • Remind them about the free shipping covered by Ankorstore for retailers from International Zone 1 countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, UK). Retailers from other countries need to pay shipping fees even on their first orders

Remember: These retailers have shown interest - be welcoming and supportive of their discovery journey. Keep communication professional but warm, and avoid being too pushy or sending multiple messages without a response.
