## Beskrywing

**CartRevival is abandoned cart recovery for WooCommerce that also shows you carts
as they happen.** It shows you the cart filling up right now, and automatically 
wins it back if the shopper leaves — a genuine cart revival, not just a reminder.

Every shopper who adds a product is captured — registered customers and anonymous
guests alike — along with their cart contents, location and device. If they go quiet,
CartRevival marks the cart abandoned and sends a cart abandonment email that rebuilds
their exact cart in one click.

#### Live cart tracking, free

The Live tab is a real-time view of your store. Watch visitors arrive, browse, add
products and reach checkout, with cart values updating the instant something changes.
See what people added and then removed — the hesitation that never shows up in any
other report.

#### What you get for free

 * **Abandoned cart recovery** for both logged-in customers and guests
 * **Live cart tracking** monitor with real-time visitor and cart status
 * **Exit intent popup** on desktop and mobile, with scroll-up velocity and back-
   gesture detection on touch devices
 * **A three-step recovery email series**, each step with its own delay, subject,
   heading, content, coupon field and open/click stats
 * **Early capture popup** that asks for an email or phone on add-to-cart, so guest
   carts become recoverable
 * **Tab notification** that alternates the browser tab title and badges the favicon
   while the shopper is on another tab
 * **One-click cart restore link** that rebuilds variations, quantities and custom
   item data
 * **Conversion funnel**: visitors  add to cart  checkout  orders, with drop-off
   at each step
 * **Reports**: abandonment rate, recoverable revenue, recovered revenue, top abandoned
   products, abandonment by country
 * Remember checkout input across page reloads
 * CSV export including a ready-to-use recovery link per cart
 * Store owner notifications, instantly or as a daily digest
 * Bot defense on every capture: honeypot, user-agent blocklist, minimum time on
   page, optional reCAPTCHA v3
 * Exclusions by email, phone and user role, plus auto-delete for old anonymous 
   carts
 * Full GDPR support: data exporter, eraser, one-click unsubscribe, IP and URL collection
   toggles

#### Built to be invisible on your storefront

Performance was the first requirement, not an afterthought.

 * An always-loaded core of about 2 KB gzipped (2.2 KB measured), loaded deferred—
   every other feature is a tiny module that downloads only when its trigger fires
 * No jQuery, no frontend CSS unless you turn on a popup
 * Tracking uses `navigator.sendBeacon()`, so nothing ever blocks navigation
 * Custom database tables with pre-aggregated daily reports — dashboards never scan
   raw data
 * No `admin-ajax.php` anywhere
 * Zero database writes on a page view when the visitor has an empty cart

#### WhatsApp cart recovery — free

WhatsApp reminders are included in the free plugin. Connect your WhatsApp number
free at [6rsh.com](https://6rsh.com/), and CartRevival sends an approved-template
reminder for every abandoned cart with a phone number. If you already run the 6rsh
WooCommerce plugin, CartRevival reuses your existing connection automatically — 
nothing to paste.

#### No limits on the free plugin

There is no cart quota, no registration and no account. Everything described above
works on every store, on every cart, forever, and this plugin never contacts a licensing
server to decide what you may do.

A separate paid add-on, CartRevival PRO, adds channels and automation on top: SMS
through Twilio or BulkGate, web push, a unified multi-channel sequence builder, 
automatically generated single-use coupons, AI message suggestions, email-marketing
sync, and the full visitor analytics history. It is an optional extra — nothing 
here is switched off or held back to make a case for it. [Details and pricing](https://cartrevival.com/#pricing).

### Performance

CartRevival’s storefront footprint is two-stage, and the always-loaded part is about
2 KB:

 * **Core (always loads): 2.2 KB gzipped.** The tracking beacon and a tiny module
   loader. Deferred, sendBeacon transport, no CSS, zero render-blocking, zero database
   writes on an empty-cart page view.
 * **Feature modules (load only on their trigger):** exit intent (~1.1 KB, on a 
   real leave gesture), field capture (~1.4 KB, on first field focus — or on checkout),
   early-capture popup (~1.0 KB, on add-to-cart), push opt-in + service worker (
   ~0.6 KB, on add-to-cart with push enabled), tab notification (~0.8 KB, first 
   time the tab is hidden). A visitor who never triggers a feature never downloads
   it.
 * **Enforced at build time:** the release build fails if the core ever exceeds 
   4 KB gzipped, so the claim cannot silently rot.

### External services

This plugin works entirely on your own server by default. It does not phone home,
and it has no licence check, no registration and no usage metering: with a fresh
install and default settings, **it makes no external requests at all**.

Three optional integrations can send data off your site. Each is off until you switch
it on, and each is listed here with exactly what leaves your server.

**1. 6rsh (WhatsApp reminder delivery) — only if you connect it**

To send WhatsApp reminders the plugin needs a WhatsApp Business sender, which it
reaches through 6rsh, operated by 6rsh.com. It is used only when you save a 6rsh
API key (or already run the 6rsh WooCommerce plugin on the same site) and switch
the WhatsApp channel on.

 * What is sent: your API key, the shopper’s phone number, the approved template
   name, and the template variables you mapped (typically the shopper’s first name,
   your store name, the cart total and the recovery link).
 * When: at the moment a WhatsApp reminder is sent for an abandoned cart, and when
   the plugin fetches your list of approved templates so you can pick one.
 * Terms of service: https://6rsh.com/terms
 * Privacy policy: https://6rsh.com/privacy

**2. ip-api.com (visitor country and city lookup) — off by default**

Location for the carts list and live monitor normally comes from WooCommerce’s own
MaxMind database, which is a file on your server; nothing is transmitted for that.
If that database cannot place an address, and only if you tick “Look up a visitor’s
country and city with an external service” under CartRevival  Settings  Compliance,
that one IP address is sent to ip-api.com, operated by ip-api.com.

 * What is sent: a single visitor IP address. Nothing else — no name, email, phone,
   cart contents or order data.
 * When: at most once per IP address per day, and only when the local database returned
   no country.
 * Note: the free ip-api.com endpoint accepts plain HTTP only, so this request is
   not encrypted in transit. This is why the setting is off by default. You can 
   point it at a provider of your choice with the `cartrevival_geo_provider_url`
   filter, or disable it in code with the `cartrevival_geo_remote_enabled` filter.
 * Terms of service: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal
 * Privacy policy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal

**3. Google reCAPTCHA v3 (bot filtering on capture) — only if you configure it**

If you enter reCAPTCHA v3 keys under CartRevival  Settings  Capture, captures are
verified with Google’s siteverify endpoint.

 * What is sent: your reCAPTCHA secret key, the reCAPTCHA token from the visitor’s
   browser, and the visitor’s IP address, to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/
   siteverify.
 * When: on each cart capture, while reCAPTCHA keys are configured.
 * Terms of service: https://policies.google.com/terms
 * Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

**4. cartrevival.com (opt-in usage telemetry) — off until you opt in**

CartRevival can send a small daily ping to cartrevival.com, operated by us, so we
know which plugin, WordPress and PHP versions are in use. This is strictly opt-in:
nothing is ever sent until you choose an option on the one-time notice shown on 
CartRevival’s own admin screens, and choosing “No thanks” is remembered and never
re-asked.

 * What is sent: the CartRevival version, WordPress version and PHP version, plus
   either a random site token (if you chose “Share anonymously”) or your site’s 
   domain (only if you chose “Share with my domain”). Never any customer, cart, 
   order or personal data.
 * When: at most once per day, only after you opt in. You can change or withdraw
   the choice at any time under CartRevival  Settings  Compliance  Usage telemetry;
   withdrawing stops the pings and deletes the site token so past pings cannot be
   linked to you.
 * Terms of service: https://cartrevival.com/terms
 * Privacy policy: https://cartrevival.com/privacy

## Installation

 1. Install and activate WooCommerce first.
 2. Upload the `cartrevival` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install through Plugins
    Add New.
 3. Activate CartRevival.
 4. Go to **CartRevival  Settings** to choose how long a cart sits idle before it counts
    as abandoned.
 5. Go to **CartRevival  Recovery** to write your reminder email and switch it on.

Sending is off by default. Nothing is ever emailed to a shopper until you enable
it.

## Kwel-vrae

### Will this slow down my store?

No. The always-loaded core is about 2 KB gzipped (2.2 KB measured), deferred and
never render-blocking. Exit intent, field capture, push opt-in and tab alerts live
in separate small modules that download only at the moment their trigger fires. 
Tracking beacons are fire-and-forget, so the browser never waits on them, and a 
page view with an empty cart performs no database writes at all. A build-time size
gate fails any release whose core exceeds 4 KB, so this number cannot quietly rot.

### Does it capture guest carts?

Yes. Anonymous shoppers are tracked from their first add-to-cart using a first-party
cookie and WooCommerce’s own session. As soon as they type an email or phone number
at checkout, that cart becomes recoverable.

### When is a cart considered abandoned?

After a period of inactivity you choose, from 15 to 240 minutes, defaulting to 60.
Activity means a page view, a cart change or typing at checkout. Each cart schedules
its own check, so nothing scans your database on a timer.

### What happens if the shopper comes back on their own?

CartRevival matches the order back to the cart by session, cookie, customer account,
email or phone, cancels any pending reminders, and records the revenue. A cart that
converts without a reminder is never counted as recovered — your recovery numbers
stay honest.

### Can a customer be emailed twice by mistake?

No. Every reminder reserves a unique slot in the send log before it is scheduled,
and the send job claims that slot atomically. Two workers racing on the same cart
cannot both send.

### Does it work with the block cart and checkout?

Yes. Both the classic shortcode checkout and the newer block checkout are supported,
including capturing details entered in block checkout fields.

### Is it compatible with High Performance Order Storage?

Yes. HPOS compatibility is declared, and CartRevival works with it on or off.

### Does it work on mobile?

Yes, including exit intent. CartRevival detects an intent to leave on touch devices
through scroll-up velocity and the back gesture.

### Is it GDPR compliant?

CartRevival registers with WordPress’s personal data exporter and eraser, includes
a one-click unsubscribe link in every message, and lets you disable IP address and
page URL collection entirely. Phone numbers can require explicit consent. Nothing
is deleted on uninstall unless you opt in.

### Does it work in Arabic, or any right-to-left language?

Yes, fully. The plugin’s own admin screens and messages are translated, and recovery
emails follow **the shopper’s** language, not your site’s: someone browsing in Arabic
gets an entirely Arabic email, right-to-left, including the button and the footer.
You can also write your own Arabic version of each recovery step. An email is never
sent half in one language and half in another.

### Do I need a paid account or a licence key to use this?

No. The free plugin has no cart quota, no registration, no account and no licence
check. It never contacts a licensing server to decide what you are allowed to do.
The optional PRO add-on is sold separately and is not required for anything described
here.

### Will it work with my theme and page builder?

Yes. The capture popups ship their own self-contained styles, and the plugin adds
nothing to your theme’s templates. Both the classic shortcode checkout and the WooCommerce
block checkout are supported.

### What happens to my data if I uninstall?

Nothing is deleted unless you tick the box for it under Settings. Delete the plugin
with that box unticked and your carts and history stay in the database; tick it 
first and everything the plugin created is removed cleanly on uninstall.

### Does it work with a caching plugin?

Yes. CartRevival never blocks a cached page. If a cache serves a stale security 
token, the script quietly fetches a fresh one and retries.

### How do I send WhatsApp reminders?

WhatsApp reminders are free. Connect your WhatsApp number at 6rsh.com (free), then
pick an approved message template under CartRevival  Recovery  WhatsApp. If the 
6rsh WooCommerce plugin is already connected on your site, CartRevival uses that
connection automatically.

## Changelog

#### 2.10.0

 * **Fixed: the phone field asked for your country code twice.** The country selector
   beside the box already said “+971”, and the box itself showed “+971 50 000 0000”
   as its example — so shoppers typed the code again and the saved number came out
   as “+971971…”. A number like that looks valid, so it was stored without complaint
   and then rejected by WhatsApp at send time. The box now asks only for the local
   part of the number, and pasting a number in any form — with the code, without
   it, with a leading 00 or a leading 0 — always produces one correct number. Existing
   carts are checked on update; a repair command is provided and nothing is changed
   without you asking for it.
 * **Changed: “recovered” now means CartRevival actually brought the shopper back.**
   Until now, any abandoned cart that had been sent a reminder and later turned 
   into an order was counted as recovered — including shoppers who ignored every
   reminder and came back on their own days later. That overstated the one number
   you use to judge whether this plugin pays for itself. A cart now counts as recovered
   only when a reminder plausibly caused the order: the shopper clicked the recovery
   link and ordered within the click window, or ordered shortly after a reminder
   was delivered. Shoppers who returned by themselves are still counted and still
   shown — on their own clearly-labelled line, never added to the recovered figure.
   Both windows are yours to set under Settings, and every cart now says in plain
   words why it was counted the way it was. **Your recovered total will probably
   fall when you update. That is the correction, not a fault.** Older carts are 
   re-derived from what was recorded at the time; where the evidence was never recorded
   they are marked “Unknown” rather than guessed.
 * **Improved: sending a reminder by hand now tells you what it will do before it
   does it.** The buttons used to read only “Send Email now” or “Send WhatsApp now”,
   with no way to tell which address, which number or which template was about to
   be used, and afterwards said only “Sent.” Each action now names the recipient
   and the exact template and language before you confirm, and reports what the 
   provider actually said afterwards, including the message ID. Buttons that cannot
   work are disabled and say precisely why — and which screen fixes it — instead
   of failing after you press them.

#### 2.9.12

 * **Fixed: a phone number typed without its country code is now completed instead
   of refused.** Most shoppers type their number the way they say it out loud, leaving
   the country code off — for a UAE number that means an example like “0555000000”,
   or just “555000000”, rather than “+971555000000”. Every one of those was stored
   and sent exactly as typed, so the WhatsApp reminder was rejected and the cart
   was quietly lost. The number is now completed to its full international form 
   before anything is sent, using the country the shopper picked in the popup, or
   the country they are browsing from, or your store’s own country, in that order.
   Existing carts are completed the same way when you update; nothing is sent to
   them automatically.
 * **Fixed: cart-recovery WhatsApp messages did not appear in the 6rsh inbox**, 
   so a shopper’s reply arrived with no sign of the message it answered. Each reminder
   now opens or reuses a normal conversation thread, and replies land on it.

#### 2.9.11

 * **New: CartRevival now tells you when your server will not let WordPress update
   it.** Some hosts end up with the plugin folder owned by a different system user
   than PHP runs as. WordPress’s own error blames “inconsistent file permissions”
   and prints every file in the plugin, which reads like the plugin is broken. It
   is not: the update never started. Tools  System status now says plainly whether
   WordPress can update the plugin, with what to ask your host for.

For every earlier release, see CHANGELOG.md inside the plugin folder, which carries
the complete history back to 1.0.0.
