Recover abandoned carts on Teachable with push
On Teachable, InstantPWA can detect an active cart and prompt install specifically for shoppers who added items but didn't check out. Once installed, a push notification follow-up reminds them to finish — set up once in Code Snippets and Custom CSS via Settings → Code Snippets and Custom CSS.
Steps
- 1
Open Code Snippets and Custom CSS
Go to Settings → Code Snippets and Custom CSS.
- 2
Paste the InstantPWA snippet
Drop the one-line async script tag in the Teachable head section — no build step or dependency install.
- 3
Turn on cart-based targeting
In InstantPWA's targeting rules, scope a trigger to pages/state that indicate an active Teachable cart.
- 4
Set the push follow-up delay
Configure how long to wait after cart abandonment before sending the push reminder — commonly 1–24 hours.
- 5
Test the full flow
Add an item to cart, leave without checking out, install when prompted, and confirm the follow-up push arrives.
Constraints to know
- Custom head code requires the Builder plan or higher — Teachable's legacy Basic plan does not expose the Code Snippets panel.
- Applying a snippet to 'All pages' covers the sales page, course player and checkout in one step, so there's no separate injection point per page type.
FAQ
How does InstantPWA know a cart was abandoned?+
It reads Teachable's standard cart state (cookie or localStorage) to detect an active cart with no completed order, then scopes the install/push trigger to that condition.
Does this require a separate app or API integration?+
No — it's the same one-line snippet, just with cart-based targeting rules turned on in your dashboard.
Can I control how long to wait before the reminder push?+
Yes — the delay is configurable in the InstantPWA dashboard, from immediate to 24+ hours after abandonment.
