<p>CartPinger connects your WooCommerce store to the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API so you can reach customers where they actually read messages.</p>
<p><strong>Abandoned cart recovery</strong> — CartPinger automatically detects when a customer leaves without completing checkout and sends them a WhatsApp reminder with a direct link back to their cart. No email. No spam folder.</p>
<p><strong>Order notifications</strong> — Send automatic WhatsApp messages when an order is placed, paid, shipped, or completed. Customers stay informed without you lifting a finger.</p>
<p><strong>WhatsApp chat widget</strong> — Add a click-to-chat button to your storefront so customers can reach you instantly on WhatsApp.</p>
<p><strong>Bring your own account</strong> — CartPinger uses the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API. You connect your own WhatsApp Business number. No middleman, no per-message fees beyond Meta’s standard rates.</p>
<p><strong>Block and classic checkout</strong> — Works with both the WooCommerce block checkout (WooCommerce 8.6+) and the classic shortcode checkout.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Abandoned cart recovery via WhatsApp — unlimited</li>
<li>Optional 24h and 48h follow-up messages (configurable in settings)</li>
<li>Optional automatic discount coupons in follow-ups (configurable)</li>

</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>A customer adds items to their cart and starts checkout</li>
<li>They enter their phone number and check the WhatsApp consent checkbox</li>
<li>If they leave without completing the order, CartPinger waits 1 hour and sends a recovery message via WhatsApp</li>
<li>The message includes their name and a direct link back to their cart</li>
<li>If they complete the order, the recovery is marked as successful</li>
</ol>
<h4>Privacy and data</h4>
<p>CartPinger does not collect or transmit any data to servers operated by the plugin author. Customer phone numbers and message content are sent directly from your server to Meta (WhatsApp Cloud API) using your own access token. All data is stored in your own WordPress database.</p>
<p>This plugin connects to the Meta WhatsApp Cloud API (a third-party service). See the “External Services” section below for full details.</p>

CartPinger

WhatsApp commerce for WooCommerce: recover abandoned carts and send order notifications via the WhatsApp Cloud API with your own Business Account.

UserElements

<p><strong>CartCue</strong> is the WooCommerce abandoned cart recovery and sales automation plugin that runs entirely inside your WordPress dashboard — no monthly SaaS fee, no customer data leaving your server.</p>
<p>Most WooCommerce stores lose 60–70% of shoppers at checkout. A customer abandons a cart. A payment fails. A first-time buyer never hears back. A loyal customer goes quiet. CartCue turns those moments into automated revenue recovery — set once, run forever.</p>
<h4>Abandoned cart recovery that works</h4>
<p>CartCue detects when a shopper enters their email at checkout and leaves before completing the order. It then waits your chosen delay (10 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day) and sends a personalized abandoned cart recovery email with their cart contents, total, and a direct recovery link. You can include a unique coupon to bring them back.</p>
<p>Works for both registered customers and guest shoppers. No external account needed.</p>
<h4>WooCommerce automation without the complexity</h4>
<p>Every automation in CartCue follows a plain-English flow:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Trigger:</strong> what WooCommerce event starts this automation?</li>
<li><strong>Timing:</strong> how long to wait before acting?</li>
<li><strong>Conditions:</strong> who should receive it?</li>
<li><strong>Action:</strong> send an email, generate a coupon, add an order note, or change order status.</li>
</ol>
<p>No drag-and-drop canvas, no flowcharts, no 40-tab setup wizard. Most stores are up and running in under 5 minutes.</p>
<h4>Automation triggers included free</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cart Abandoned</strong> — recover carts from shoppers who entered their email and left.</li>
<li><strong>Checkout Started</strong> — catch shoppers who reached checkout but did not finish.</li>
<li><strong>Order Paid</strong> — post-purchase follow-ups, thank-you emails, review requests, cross-sell offers.</li>
<li><strong>Order Status Changed</strong> — trigger automations when orders move between WooCommerce statuses.</li>
<li><strong>Payment Failed</strong> — send a recovery reminder when a customer payment fails.</li>
<li><strong>Order Refunded / Cancelled</strong> — follow up after refunds or cancellations.</li>
<li><strong>New Customer Created</strong> — welcome new registered customers automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Customer Win-Back</strong> — re-engage customers who have not ordered in N days.</li>
<li><strong>Never Purchased</strong> — nudge registered users who signed up but never bought.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Personalized WooCommerce emails</h4>
<p>CartCue emails support built-in variables for customer name, order details, cart contents, coupon codes, store name, and recovery links. Emails are sent through <code>wp_mail()</code> — the same delivery path WooCommerce uses — so they work with any SMTP or transactional email plugin you already have.</p>
<p>Variable fallbacks prevent awkward blanks: <code>{{customer.first_name|there}}</code> outputs “there” when a guest has no stored name.</p>
<h4>Audience conditions — send to the right customers</h4>
<p>Avoid sending every message to everyone. Add conditions to each automation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Order total above or below a threshold</li>
<li>Customer placing their first order</li>
<li>Customer has ordered N or more times</li>
<li>Customer is a registered user or guest</li>
<li>Customer has a specific WordPress role</li>
<li>Customer registered before or after a date</li>
</ul>
<h4>Automation recipes — launch in minutes</h4>
<p>CartCue includes ready-made recipe templates for the most common WooCommerce automations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Abandoned cart recovery (1-email and 2-email sequences)</li>
<li>Post-purchase review request</li>
<li>Win-back offer for inactive customers</li>
<li>Welcome email with coupon for new customers</li>
<li>Failed payment recovery</li>
<li>Post-purchase cross-sell</li>
</ul>
<h4>Reports and email tracking</h4>
<p>Track how your automations are performing from the CartCue dashboard:</p>
<ul>
<li>Email open rate and click rate per play</li>
<li>Revenue attributed to each automation</li>
<li>Activity log with success, skipped, and error status per run</li>
<li>Execution history per customer</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why CartCue instead of a marketing SaaS?</h4>
<p>Most abandoned cart recovery and WooCommerce email tools are monthly subscriptions that send your customer data to an external server. CartCue stores everything in your WordPress database. Your customer emails, order data, and cart contents never leave your site.</p>
<p><strong>CartCue is a one-time purchase per site</strong> (Pro version), not a monthly fee that scales with your store’s revenue.</p>
<h4>WooCommerce compatibility</h4>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) compatible</li>
<li>Works with WooCommerce Blocks checkout (for consent)</li>
<li>Compatible with any SMTP, transactional email, or deliverability plugin</li>
<li>Supports WooCommerce multi-currency</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free plan limits</h4>
<ul>
<li>Up to 5 active automation plays at a time</li>
<li>2 timed follow-up steps per play</li>
<li>All free triggers and actions listed above</li>
<li>Reports, email tracking, and recipe templates included</li>
</ul>
