How does WooCommerce abandoned cart work?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:03 pm

When a customer makes a purchase on WooCommerce, the WooCommerce abandoned cart feature kicks in. This can be a really useful tool for customers who have made a purchase but are not sure if they want to keep the product.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using WooCommerce to set up an online store, be aware that there are some potential risks associated with the abandoned cart feature. Specifically, if a customer abandons their cart and does not return to complete the purchase, WooCommerce will automatically generate a new cart for the customer and send them an email notification. This can lead to confusion and frustration for customers, as well as additional expenses for you as the store owner.

The abandoned cart feature allows the customer to keep the product without having to purchase it again. They can simply click on the “keep this item” button and WooCommerce will take care of the rest.

This is a really useful feature for customers who are not sure if they want to keep the product. It can save them a lot of time and money.
