Powered by real-time background **AJAX polling**, the plugin tracks active sessions and seamlessly clears expired cart items in the background after a user-configurable timeout. Instead of creating fake or cluttered orders in the standard WooCommerce Orders screen, it logs all abandoned cart details into a dedicated, isolated admin dashboard. Store administrators can view detailed customer information, product lists, item quantities, total prices, and exact timestamps directly via a smooth inline accordion menu. ### Key Features: * **Real-time AJAX Expiration:** Silently clears cart items in the background without forcing page reloads or showing disruptive popup alerts. * **Dedicated Abandoned Cart Dashboard:** Keeps your standard WooCommerce Orders section clean by storing abandoned cart logs in a separate interface. * **Inline Accordion Details View:** View full product details, customer information, subtotals, and timestamps seamlessly within the same page (no annoying modals or popups). * **Safe Across Updates:** Cart data and history are stored persistently in dedicated database fields, ensuring no lost logs when updating the plugin. * **Custom Timeout Settings:** Flexible cart expiration limits set directly from the native WooCommerce General Settings tab. * **Manual Log Management:** Delete processed or old entries with a single click. > **Future Updates & Roadmap:** > This plugin is under active development! Future > updates will bring enhanced analytics, advanced filtering, export options, and > additional automated management features to give store owners full control over > their store inventory and cart cycles. ## Screenshots [⌊Plugin appearance in the WordPress installed plugins list after activation.⌉⌊Plugin appearance in the WordPress installed plugins list after activation.⌉[ Plugin appearance in the WordPress installed plugins list after activation.
