Can I set cooldown periods before a user gets another recovery offer?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm constantly battling cart abandonment and trying to recover potentially lost sales. But I'm not naive—I understand that bombarding customers with constant discount offers can actually harm my brand's perception. I want a sophisticated approach where I can strategically re-engage hesitant shoppers without seeming desperate or cheapening my brand's value. My biggest concern is creating a system that respects user experience while still providing smart, targeted recovery mechanisms. I need a solution that allows me to set intelligent cooldown periods between offers, ensuring that I'm not overwhelming visitors with repeated pop-ups or discount codes. This isn't just about recovering sales; it's about maintaining a delicate balance between urgency and user respect. I want a tool that understands nuanced visitor behavior and can intelligently manage when and how often I present recovery offers. The goal is conversion, but not at the expense of looking unprofessional or annoying potential customers.
