WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Recovery via WhatsApp

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).

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.
