ecommerce

The lifecycle of an online store: welcome, cart recovery, thanks and review, replenishment, winback, and a VIP thank-you.

Journeys

Journey	What it does
abandoned-checkout	Reminds someone who left items in their cart, twice at most.
first-order-thanks	Thanks a first-time customer, then asks how the order went once it arrives.
replenishment	Reminds a regular customer to reorder before they run out.
vip	Thanks a customer who has spent past the VIP threshold.
welcome	Introduces the store to a shopper who has not ordered yet.
winback	Invites a customer back who has not ordered in months.

Events it needs
