<h2>Offer Shoppers Alternative Products</h2>
When a product is out of stock or no longer available, clients may leave your store without making a purchase. The Alternate Product Recommendations for WooCommerce plugin offers a solution. When products are not available, the plugin offers your customers alternate products to consider. When products are in stock, the plugin offers customers additional products to purchase.
<h2>Benefits</h2>
Customer satisfaction
Offering an alternative product lets your customers know that you care about their shopping experience.
Keep customers shopping and buying
A customer offered an alternative may be interested in that product and may buy it. Hopefully, they will continue to shop on your site instead of leaving in frustration when an item is out of stock.
Reduce cart abandonment
If a customer already has items in their cart and discovers that something they intended to buy is out of stock, they might leave your site. Offering an alternative to keep them on your site will hopefully also lead to them buying the items in their carts and/or the recommended alternate item.
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<h3>Product no longer available</h3>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li>A user will normally see a notice saying an item is “No longer available for purchase” when they visit the product page of an out-of-stock item.</li>
<li>With the Alternate Product Recommendations for WooCommerce plugin, users will see the same notification with an alternate single item, or multiple items, to consider in its place.</li>
</ul>

<hr />
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Stop Customers Before They Leave with Exit-Intent Popups 
Example: When a shopper with items in their cart tries to exit the website — stop them with a discount popup “Wait! Get 10% off if you complete your order now!”</li>
<li>Auto-apply discount codes for seamless checkout. Instead of forcing customers to enter a discount code manually, the coupon is applied automatically at checkout—making the process frictionless.</li>
<li>Upsell related products in reminder emails and encourage customers to buy more 
Example: When a customer adds a laptop to their cart. Before they leave, show a related product popup like: “Complete your purchase & get a laptop bag at 50% off!”</li>
<li>Collect online shoppers’ email or phone numbers on your Woo store before they exit so you can follow up with recovery reminders.</li>
<li>Capture emails from the checkout page in real time 
Example: A shopper starts entering their details but doesn’t complete checkout. The system saves their email, so you can send an abandoned cart reminder later.</li>
<li>Ask for an email before adding an item to the cart 
Example: A shopper sees a “Sign up & Get 10% Off” and signup for the offer before adding an item to their cart. If they abandon later, you can email them a reminder.</li>
<li>Automate recovery with perfectly timed messages sent via email, Facebook Messenger, and SMS. 
</li>
<li>Send abandoned cart emails to remind customers. 
Example: When a shopper forgets their $200 order. An email lands in their inbox automatically in the time interval set by you, for instance after one hour of cart abandonment. 
</li>
<li>Send a single, timely WhatsApp message with a Resume Checkout button that reopens the shopper’s cart so they can finish in one tap. 
Example: 30 minutes after abandonment, the shopper receives: “You left something behind. Tap to complete your order.” One tap takes them straight to checkout.</li>
<li>Send Facebook Messenger reminders about the abandoned cart items 
Example: A customer abandons their cart. Later, they get a Facebook message: “You left something behind! Tap here to complete your purchase,” after 3 hours of the cart abandonment.</li>
<li>Send text message reminders via Twilio 
Example: A shopper abandons their cart, and 30 minutes later, they receive an SMS: “Still want your new sneakers? Complete your order now & enjoy free shipping!”</li>
<li>Set Smart Rules for Targeted Abandoned Cart Recovery. Use 11 pre-defined conditions to segment and personalize recovery efforts.</li>
<li>Exclude customers based on conditions and avoid sending abandoned cart recovery emails to customers who just received a promo or have already purchased. 
Example: A shopper abandoned a cart but came back and bought the item later. The system detects this and stops sending reminders</li>
<li>Track Your Abandoned Cart Recovery Performance. Get detailed analytics on abandoned carts, recovered orders, and campaign effectiveness.</li>
<li>Identify which items customers frequently leave behind so you can adjust pricing or promotions. 
Example: Your stats show that 60% of abandoned carts contain a specific product. You can offer a 10% discount on that product and see if the abandoned cart recovery increases</li>
<li>Measure how many people use recovery discounts to fine-tune your offers. 
Example: You see that only 20% of customers use a 5% discount, but 40% use a 10% discount. You switch to a 10% offer and boost sales.</li>
<li>Find out which emails perform best and optimize your messaging. 
Example: A subject line with “We saved your cart!” gets more clicks than “Reminder: Your cart is waiting.” You update your templates accordingly.</li>
<li>Export abandoned cart details and recovery to Google Sheets for advanced tracking. Use it to analyze trends to improve recovery campaigns or share it with your sales team to follow up with high-value abandoned cart users. 
Example: You notice high-value carts ($500+) are abandoned often. By exporting the data to Google Sheets, your team calls customers directly to offer a concierge checkout service—boosting conversion rates.</li>
