About this plugin
WakeMyCart offers abandoned cart recovery for WooCommerce: send an editable follow-up email to opted-in shoppers, help them restore their cart and review activity in WordPress.
Free live demo | Pro live demo | Setup guide
Try a temporary WordPress store with fictional data and a captured inbox. No signup or external sending; SMTP and Resend connections are disabled in the demos.
Free needs no WakeMyCart account or subscription and has no monthly recovery-contact cap. Use WordPress email, direct SMTP or your own Resend account. Your provider’s limits and charges apply.
Included in Free
- Capture unfinished checkouts with shopper permission.
- One reminder: edit its subject, message and delay of 1–168 hours.
- Three email designs, your logo and accent color.
- Email previews and Send test to your chosen inbox.
- Cart restore links with confirmation and unsubscribe controls.
- Local activity reports, attributed orders, queued reminders and Recovery health. Attribution does not prove additional sales or profit.
- Separate capture/sending controls, frequency safeguards and privacy export/erasure.
How it works
- Shoppers opt in at checkout.
- Before sending, the plugin rechecks permission, sending settings and order status.
- Email links restore the cart after confirmation.
Installation does not enable sending or guarantee capture/recovery of every cart.
Optional separate Pro add-on
Pro adds multi-stage sequences, cart saving before checkout, conditional follow-ups, advanced designs, experiments, cost-aware offers and detailed reports. Free tools remain available.
Keep Free active. Pro needs one eligible-account activation per store. Activated local tools continue after subscription expiry or temporary outages; private downloads and automatic updates need eligible access.
Pro activation supports single-site WordPress.

External services
Email delivery
WordPress email uses your host’s mail or configured email plugin. Direct SMTP uses authenticated STARTTLS or TLS. Tests/recovery sends share sender/recipient addresses and message contents with your server.
SMTP credentials are encrypted in WordPress, never sent to WakeMyCart’s account service. Provider terms, privacy and limits apply.
com. Routine checks normally run no more than once every six hours, even while paused, retrieving domain status, not shopper records. Test/recovery sends share sender/recipient addresses and message contents.
Optional signed delivery feedback reaches your store’s webhook.
Saving a WordPress email or SMTP sender stops routine Resend checks and pauses recovery. Prepared messages retain their provider configuration. To end Resend access, pause recovery, disable Pro cart emails, review pending messages and revoke the key.
In-flight requests cannot be recalled; provider retention is separate.

Optional WakeMyCart account
Explicit connection for Pro/account services sends merchant/store registration data: site URL, installation/protocol identifiers, plugin versions and coarse recovery-health codes. Normal local-engine requests exclude shopper names, emails, carts, products, orders, messages, recovery tokens and shopper hashes.
Disconnect in Settings to stop account requests. Free updates use WordPress or a manual ZIP without an account; only Pro requests private updates. Older cloud records need reviewed cleanup.
Old links/delivery feedback may use a compatibility relay for up to 365 days, an exception to local-only processing.

Data and removal
Cart snapshots normally remain 30 days after activity; recovery detail 90 days; terminal prepared bodies 48 hours. Unsubscribe links can last 365 days; anonymous summaries 13 months. Minimal suppression keys prevent renewed contact.
Cleanup needs a scheduler. Providers, backups and WooCommerce orders have separate retention.
Shared privacy tools cover prior Pro cart-email requests after removal: details/links expire after seven days, de-identified counts after 30 days and hashed abuse limits after two days, with scheduled cleanup.
WordPress Tools > Export/Erase Personal Data covers recovery records. Erasure blocks stale callbacks recreating shoppers; totals freeze when underlying order copies are deleted. Deactivation and Pro removal preserve shared data.
Uninstall deletion is off by default; enable it in advanced settings. No plugin alone establishes GDPR compliance.
Explicit Pro plans/download/activation actions or Pro reloads can store a task/date per browser, store and administrator for up to 14 days; the next workspace read removes expired entries. Use Forget this task or clear storage to remove it. Preview/invitation dismissals persist until restored or storage is cleared.
Opening a preview records no task. No shopper data, campaign content or credentials are stored; no analytics are sent.
The optional review invitation requires 30 days since the first scheduled reminder attempt and five first attempts on three UTC days. Failed handoffs count; retries, tests/self-tests and local/development/staging sites do not. Delivery, sales and opinions never affect eligibility.
Choose review, remind in 14 days or never. Opening review dismisses it without checking submission. Capped counts/dates and per-user/site preferences stay in WordPress across editions; no shopper identities or review telemetry.
Help remains available and explains eligibility.
