The module synchronizes with your OpenCart user system and lets you organize, track and segment your users by adding them to a separate user group for various marketing purposes.
Your FacebookLogin widget is easily adjustable and can be positioned anywhere you like on your website. You can select the pages that should contain it, and customize its exact position and appearance using the settings in the admin panel.

AbandonedCarts
Merchants are facing problems with abandoned carts worldwide and it’s affecting their sales by a huge number. However, marketers are certain that tailoring your email campaign to tackle that issue can bring back a lot of lost revenue.
AbandonedCarts is the module that lets you view all of the carts that were abandoned by your users and target them with a manual or automatic email that reminds of the purchase they were considering.
Another perk is the option to add a discount hook, which has proved to be a very effective way to spark the interest of many users who find additional costs a problem or simply need a gentle push to making the final purchasing decision.

You can randomize the bundles and put one on every page of your website to have a wider reach and display more products.
OrderReviews
Reviews are among the keystones to building a trustworthy business that demonstrates authenticity. However, not all customers leave a comment after they make a purchase.
To increase your chances of getting feedback, the OrderReviews module lets you send emails to customers, inviting them to review the products they have purchased.
The extension makes it easier for your users to rate your products and gives you the freedom to create an unlimited amount of customizable email templates.
SocialDiscounts
Activity over social media can help your store’s popularity significantly. When users like, tweet or share content related to your eCommerce website, your ranking goes up with search engines as well as other users over social media.
SocialDiscounts is an OpenCart extension that lets you provide your users with discounts if they share or tweet about your business.
NotifyWhenAvailable
This tool uses email to let users know when the product they have viewed is back in stock.
Another way to use the extension is for pre-sales. Products that you are planning to release can be sent to your customers with an automatic email. NotifyWhenAvailable is a great way to encourage your users to subscribe for product updates that interest them.
