WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Recovery via WhatsApp

The WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Recovery via WhatsApp is an E-Commerce sales template that an AI employee runs end to end, covering woocommerce webhook integration, cart content extraction and whatsapp message with product image. WooCommerce webhook fires when a cart is abandoned (user adds to cart but doesn't checkout within 30 minutes). AI sends a WhatsApp with the top 3 items and a direct checkout link. If unpurchased in 2 hours, a 10% discount code is added. Recovery orders are auto-tagged for attribution.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work for guest checkouts in WooCommerce?
For guests with a phone number entered before cart abandonment, yes. Requires phone capture at cart stage.

WooCommerce core plus a cart abandonment tracking plugin (Retainful, CartFlows, or custom webhook).
Can the discount code have an expiry?
Yes. Default expiry is 24 hours. Configurable per campaign.
How does this compare to email cart recovery?
WhatsApp achieves 3–4× higher open rates and 2× higher recovery rates vs. email alone for Indian shoppers.
Does it handle COD cart abandonment differently?
Yes. COD-specific message emphasises 'no payment needed upfront' and simplified delivery promise.
