fluXtore Cart Recovery

Description

fluXtore Cart Recovery saves the cart of a shopper who gave their consent at checkout and, if the order is not completed, sends up to three reminder emails with a link that restores the cart.

Built around consent. Nothing is saved, and no cookie is set, until the shopper ticks the consent box under the email field. The text of the box is yours to edit.

You decide the timing. Every delay is a number and a unit, from one minute to months: when a cart counts as abandoned, when it counts as lost, how long each email is sent after, and how long data is kept.

Features

• Works with the classic checkout and the WooCommerce Blocks checkout.
• Works with fluXtore funnels: a cart abandoned inside a funnel brings the shopper back to that funnel’s checkout step, with its order bump, and the recovery coupon is applied there.
• Recovery by funnel: see which fluXtore funnel and which checkout step loses the most carts and how much you win back, and filter the activity log by funnel.
• Three ready-made reminder emails, switched off until you turn recovery on. Edit them, change the timing, add a coupon.
• Emails that look like a shop email: a picture, name, options (colour, size), quantity and price for every product, and a button that brings the cart back. The button label is yours to write.
• One-click restore link: the cart comes back, the email is filled in, and the coupon (if any) is applied.
• One-click unsubscribe link in every email, plus the List-Unsubscribe header.
• Optional single-use coupon per email, valid only for the shopper’s email address, percentage or fixed amount, with an expiry you choose.
• Dashboard with carts captured, abandoned, recovered, lost, revenue recovered and recovery rate.
• Activity log with the result of every email and clicks on the recovery link.
• Test email with sample data, and an option to send a copy to the store admin.
• A sale is counted as recovered when the order reaches the statuses you choose, even if the payment clears later.
• Exclude user roles, such as administrators placing test orders.
• Personal data export and erasure through the WordPress privacy tools, and suggested text for your privacy policy.
• Activity log with search, filters, CSV export and the list of upcoming emails.
• Create, duplicate and delete emails, with sent and click counts for each.
• Never-email list of addresses and domains, UTM parameters on the recovery link, and daily cleanup of expired recovery coupons.
• Optional notifications: an email when a cart is recovered, and a weekly report.
• Optional webhook for tools like Zapier or Make.
• No tracking pixels, no telemetry, no external fonts, and no calls to external services unless you set a webhook URL.
• Data is deleted automatically after the retention period you set.

Email delivery

The plugin sends emails with the standard wp_mail() function. For reliable delivery, connect your site to an SMTP service or a transactional email provider. Many hosts block or throttle PHP mail.

Privacy

When a shopper ticks the consent box, the plugin stores their email address, first name (if filled in at checkout), the contents and total of their cart, the date and text of the consent, and the status of the reminders. This data is kept for the retention period set in the plugin (30 days by default) and is deleted earlier when the shopper asks, through the WordPress personal data tools, or when they unsubscribe from the reminders.

The plugin adds a suggested paragraph to Settings > Privacy > Policy Guide.

External services

This plugin does not connect to any external service by default. Reminder emails are sent through whatever mail service your site is already configured to use.

If, and only if, you enter a webhook URL in Settings, the plugin sends a JSON message to that address when a cart is abandoned or recovered. The message contains the shopper’s email address, first name, the cart contents and total, and for recovered carts the order number and total. You choose the destination service, so please check its privacy terms and mention it in your privacy policy.
