ShopRelay Connector for WooCommerce

Who this is for: Stores running WooCommerce on WordPress. If you sell on Shopify, do not install this plugin — connect Autom8 from Autom8 Settings → Integrations → Shopify (install the Autom8 Shopify app / Partner install link). Other storefronts (Wix, Dukaan, custom) also use Autom8 Settings integrations, not this WordPress plugin.

Service dependency: This plugin requires an Autom8 account ( Terms, Privacy ). works ). The plugin itself has no license key, trial, or feature paywall — all built-in connector features are available once you enter your Autom8 credentials in wp-admin.

ShopRelay Connector for WooCommerce is a thin connector between your WooCommerce store and Autom8. It helps you recover abandoned carts via WhatsApp and keeps Autom8 in sync with cart activity.

What this plugin does

• Debounced cart snapshots sent to Autom8 after the cart is idle (default ~2.5 minutes)

• Captures checkout phone/email (checkout blur, logged-in customer)

• Marks carts converted on thank-you / payment complete

• Signed cart recovery links ( autom8_cart_token + autom8_sig ) restore the shopper’s cart

What this plugin does NOT do

• Work with Shopify, Wix, Dukaan, or non-WooCommerce storefronts (use the matching Autom8 Settings integration instead)

• Order packing or fulfillment — configure native WooCommerce webhooks (Order created / Order updated) in WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Webhooks pointing to your Autom8 API URL

• Product catalog sync — managed in Autom8 Settings separately (WooCommerce REST keys in Autom8, not in this plugin)

• Storefront branding — no “powered by” links are injected on the public site

You need an Autom8 account, restaurant (tenant) UUID, and the order/cart webhook HMAC secret from Autom8 Settings → Integrations → WooCommerce.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0+ (covers WordPress 6.x and 7.x — the large majority of installs; tested through 7.1 )

• WooCommerce 6.0+ (HPOS / Cart & Checkout Blocks declared when WooCommerce exposes FeaturesUtil; typically WC 7.1+)

• PHP 7.4+

• Products with SKUs set (Autom8 maps SKU to catalog items)

Which WordPress versions are supported?

1. x remains widely used. This plugin supports both.

x is outside the supported range (WooCommerce itself has largely moved on).

Data that may leave your site

• Customer phone number and email address (when entered at checkout or available from the logged-in customer)

• Customer name (when available)

• Cart contents: product SKUs, quantities, product names, cart total

• Cart token and signed recovery URL (for WhatsApp recovery links)

• Conversion events when an order completes (cart token only)

When data is sent

• After the cart is unchanged for the configured idle period (cart snapshot)

• When checkout contact fields are captured (stored locally in session, included in the next snapshot)

• When the customer completes checkout (converted event)

• When the customer opens a signed recovery link (processed on your site; no new outbound call for the click itself)

Third-party processing

Autom8 processes this data to run abandoned-cart WhatsApp messaging and (via separate native WooCommerce order webhooks you configure) order fulfillment workflows. Autom8 is operated separately from your WordPress host.

Your responsibility as store owner

• Disclose in your store privacy policy that customer contact and cart data are shared with Autom8 for WhatsApp recovery and order processing

• Ensure you have a lawful basis to contact customers via WhatsApp (consent / legitimate interest per your jurisdiction)

• Configure only the Autom8 API URL and credentials you trust

This plugin does not send full payment card numbers or raw payment gateway payloads to Autom8.
