It records the events that matter — abandoned carts, orders, and customer changes — and delivers them to your Vaakuos account asynchronously and reliably. To use this plugin you need a Vaakuos account and an API key from your Vaakuos dashboard. See https://vaakuos.com/docs/plugin/woocommerce for step-by-step setup. **Features** * **Abandoned cart tracking** — captures logged-in and guest carts, detects abandonment after a configurable timeout, and exposes a recovery link. * **Order & status notifications** — fires events on order creation and on the order statuses you choose (processing, completed, cancelled, refunded, …). * **Customer / contact sync** — syncs name, email, phone (normalized to E.164), and consent on registration, address save, and checkout. * **Admin dashboard & analytics** — recovery rate, recovered revenue, value-at- risk, queued/failed deliveries, plus abandoned-cart and event-log browsers. **Built for reliability** * Uses **Action Scheduler** (bundled with WooCommerce) for the abandonment sweep and for queued event delivery with exponential-backoff retries. * **Never blocks** a page load or checkout on the remote HTTP call. * Compatible with **HPOS** (custom order tables) and the **Cart/Checkout Blocks**. * Honors **opt-in/consent** before sending marketing events, and integrates with WordPress **privacy export/erase**. ### External services This plugin connects to the **Vaakuos API** to deliver store events so Vaakuos can send WhatsApp messages on your behalf. This connection is essential to the plugin’s purpose — without it, no events are delivered. **What is sent, and when:** * When a cart is abandoned or recovered, an order is created or changes status, or a customer registers/updates their details, the plugin sends a JSON event to `https://api.vaakuos.com/events` (or the base URL you configure). * Each request includes your Vaakuos API key (as a Bearer token) and event data such as: customer name, email, phone number, cart/order contents, order totals, and your store URL and name. * Requests are authenticated with the API key you enter in the plugin settings. The Vaakuos service is provided by Vaakuos. By configuring an API key and enabling the plugin, you agree to Vaakuos’s terms and privacy policy: * Terms of Service: https://vaakuos.com/terms-of-service * Privacy Policy: https://vaakuos.com/privacy-policy No data is sent until you enter an API key and enable the plugin in **Vaakuos Settings**. ### Developer filters * `vaakuos_wc_cart_optin` — resolve a cart contact’s consent. * `vaakuos_wc_contact_optin` — resolve a registered customer’s consent. * `vaakuos_wc_order_optin` — resolve consent for order events (default true; transactional). * `vaakuos_wc_request_body` — modify the outbound payload before delivery. * `vaakuos_wc_event_logged` — act after an event is recorded. ## Installation 1. Install WooCommerce 7.0+ and make sure it is active. 2. Upload the plugin via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**, or install it from the WordPress.org directory, then click **Activate**. 3. Get your API key from your Vaakuos dashboard (**Settings API / Integrations**). 4. In WordPress, open **Vaakuos Settings**, tick **Enable**, paste your API key, and **Save changes**. 5. Ensure a real server cron hits `wp-cron.php` so queued events deliver reliably. See https://vaakuos.com/docs/plugin/woocommerce. ## FAQ ### Do I need a Vaakuos account? Yes. This plugin is the WooCommerce connector for the Vaakuos WhatsApp platform. You need a Vaakuos account and an API key. The plugin does nothing until an API key is configured. ### Is it free? The plugin is free and GPL-licensed. Sending WhatsApp messages happens on the Vaakuos platform, which may have its own pricing. ### Where does my customer data go? Only to the Vaakuos API endpoint you configure. See the “External services” section above for exactly what is sent and when. ### My events are stuck at “pending”. What’s wrong? Delivery runs through Action Scheduler, which relies on WP-Cron. On low-traffic sites, set up a real server cron to hit `wp-cron.php` every few minutes. See the Troubleshooting section at https://vaakuos.com/docs/plugin/woocommerce. ### Does it work with HPOS and block checkout? Yes. It declares compatibility with HPOS (custom order tables) and the Cart/Checkout Blocks, and captures guest contacts on both classic and block checkout. ### Can I control who gets messaged? Yes. Enable “Require opt-in” so only consented contacts receive marketing events, and use the `vaakuos_wc_cart_optin` / `vaakuos_wc_contact_optin` filters to wire your own consent source. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Vaakuos Connector for WooCommerce” is open source software.
