Do cart abandonment features scale for seasonal events like Black Friday?

Every Black Friday, I feel like I'm running a marathon while juggling chainsaws. My Shopify store gets hammered with traffic—sometimes 5-10x our normal daily visitors—and I'm terrified of losing potential sales. Last year, we had over 3,000 cart abandonments during the 48-hour sale period. That's potentially $150,000 in lost revenue! I've tried generic pop-ups and standard discount codes, but they felt clunky and impersonal. My team and I need a solution that can dynamically handle massive traffic surges without making our store look like a discount carnival. We need something sophisticated that understands visitor intent, creates genuine urgency, and doesn't just throw blanket discounts at everyone. The challenge isn't just capturing sales—it's capturing the RIGHT sales efficiently during these high-stakes events. Our margins are already tight during Black Friday, so every abandoned cart feels like a personal failure. I'm looking for a tool that can scale intelligently, predict which visitors need a nudge, and create personalized, time-limited offers that feel exclusive rather than desperate.
