## Description

When a WooCommerce payment fails, PayRetry automatically emails the customer a
 
reminder with a one-click retry link on day 1, 3 and 7, adding an escalating discount
coupon (5% then 10% by default) to win the order back. Failed payments are silent
revenue loss — this plugin brings it back.

Everything works out of the box with sensible defaults; no configuration or
 external
service is required. To customize it, go to WooCommerce -> Payment Recovery in your
wp-admin:

 * Enable or disable the reminders.
 * Set the reminder days (comma-separated, e.g. 1, 3, 7).
 * Set the discount percentage per reminder (e.g. 0, 5, 10); a coupon for that
    
   percent is created automatically and appended to the retry link.
 * Edit the email template. Placeholders: {name}, {link} (retry link),
    {coupon}(
   discount line).

The plugin works with any WooCommerce payment gateway and sends its emails
 through
wp_mail.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install it from the WordPress repository.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu.
 3. Go to WooCommerce  Payment Recovery to configure the reminder schedule.

## Changelog

#### 0.4.2

 * Added screenshots and refreshed assets on the plugin page.

#### 0.4.1

 * Renamed all functions, hooks, options and meta keys to the payretry_ prefix (
   plugin review: the previous wpr prefix was too short).
 * The recovery coupon is now single-use (one redemption, bound to its order).
 * Apply the recovery coupon on the order-pay page itself: WooCommerce ignores ?
   coupon= there, so the discount promised in the reminder email now really lands.
 * The Pro upsell link points at https://payretry-woo.oreviq.com/ and hides itself
   while the Pro add-on is active.

#### 0.4.0

 * All settings are now available to every user; removed license gating from the
   WordPress.org build.
 * Removed the Freemius SDK and its background calls from this build; the upsell
   is a plain link.
 * Sanitize the email template setting with sanitize_textarea_field().
 * Unified the display name between readme and plugin header; dropped dev dependencies
   from the distribution.

#### 0.3.1

 * Renamed to PayRetry for the WordPress.org directory (WC is a reserved trademark).

#### 0.3.0

 * Upgrade banner for free users with in-dashboard checkout.

#### 0.2.0

 * Admin settings page (schedule, discounts, email template), i18n, uninstall routine,
   Freemius licensing.

#### 0.1.0

 * Initial release: automatic payment-failed reminders with retry link and escalating
   coupon.
