Works with both classic and block checkout. The average WooCommerce store loses 70% of potential revenue to abandoned carts. CartRecovr recovers a portion of that automatically — no manual work needed. #### How it works 1. Customer enters their email on your checkout page 2. They tick the consent checkbox 3. If they leave without buying, CartRecovr detects it 4. A recovery email is sent automatically with a one-click cart restore link 5. Customer clicks the link, their cart is restored, they complete the order 6. The cart is marked as Recovered in your dashboard #### Features * Captures abandoned cart emails automatically on checkout * Works with both **classic checkout** and **block checkout** * GDPR consent checkbox on checkout * Sends Email 1 automatically (1 hour after abandonment) * One-click cart restore link in every email * Admin dashboard with abandoned and recovered cart counts * Manual send and delete from admin * Unsubscribe link in every email * GDPR compliant — data deletion and export tools * Compatible with all WooCommerce themes * Automatic SMTP plugin detection — works with WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP, Post SMTP, and more * Test email button in settings #### Want more? [CartRecovr Pro](https://cartrecovr.fluxwillow.com) is a separate plugin that adds a full 3-email recovery sequence, discount coupons, email open/click tracking, revenue charts, CSV export, and targeting rules. #### Requirements * WordPress 5.8 or higher * WooCommerce 7.0 or higher * PHP 8.0 or higher * MySQL 5.6 or higher #### Local development If you are testing on a local server (WAMP, XAMPP, Local), WP-Cron may not run automatically. Add this to your `wp-config.php` for local testing only — **remove before going live**: ``` define( 'CARTRECOVR_DEBUG_CRON', true ); ``` ## Installation 1. Upload the `cartrecovr` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Go to **CartRecovr Settings** and configure your from name and email 4. The GDPR consent checkbox will automatically appear on your checkout page 5. That’s it — abandoned carts will be captured and emails sent automatically ## FAQ ### Does this work with the new WooCommerce block checkout? Yes. CartRecovr supports both the classic shortcode checkout and the newer WooCommerce block checkout. Detection is automatic — no configuration needed. ### Is this GDPR compliant? Yes. CartRecovr only sends recovery emails to customers who explicitly tick the consent checkbox on checkout. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. Customer data can be deleted manually or automatically after a configurable number of days. CartRecovr also integrates with WordPress’s built-in privacy tools (Tools Erase Personal Data). ### Will this slow down my store? No. The email capture uses a lightweight AJAX request that fires in the background when a customer types their email. There is no impact on page load speed. ### Do I need to configure SMTP? CartRecovr uses your site’s existing mail configuration. If you already have an SMTP plugin installed (WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP, Post SMTP, etc.), CartRecovr will automatically send through it. No duplicate SMTP setup needed. ### How does the cart restore link work? Each recovery email contains a unique, secure link. When a customer clicks it, their cart is automatically restored with the exact items they had, and they are redirected to checkout ready to complete their order. ### Can customers unsubscribe? Yes. Every recovery email contains an unsubscribe link. Clicking it immediately stops all further recovery emails for that cart. ### Does it work with variable products? Yes. CartRecovr captures the specific product variation the customer had in their cart and restores it correctly. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “CartRecovr — Abandoned Cart Recovery for WooCommerce” is open source software.
