About this plugin
Auto Clear Carts for WooCommerce is a high-performance, lightweight plugin designed to handle idle shopping carts automatically and silently without disrupting the user experience or requiring manual page refreshes.
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.
