Gatemi Cart Recovery for WooCommerce keeps the carts your shoppers walk away from, and follows them up.
The moment somebody types their email address at checkout, their cart is kept. If they leave without paying, your follow-up sequence goes out — as many steps as you want, at the delays you set — and one click on the link in it puts their cart back exactly as they left it.
A recovery email never arrives after the purchase. The cart is closed the moment the order is placed, for every cart that address had open — not only the one the shopper came back through. This is the failure the whole category is judged on, and it is what the plugin is built around.
A step is claimed before it is sent. The claim is a row in the database against a unique index, so two overlapping cron runs cannot both mail the same shopper the same step. Merchants notice that one because their customers notice it first.
The cart comes back at today's prices. What is kept is a list of products and quantities, never prices — so a restored cart is priced by your store as it stands, sale prices, coupons and all.
Features
- Captures a cart the moment the shopper types their email at checkout — nothing is stored for a visitor who has not identified themselves
- A follow-up sequence of as many steps as you want, each with its own delay, subject and message
- Placeholders in every step:
{first_name},{site_title},{restore_link},{total} - One-click restore links that rebuild the cart at current prices
- Carts close automatically on purchase, so nobody is chased for something they have already bought
- A "stop chasing after N days" limit, so nobody is chased forever
- A report on the settings screen: carts open, carts recovered, value recovered, carts given up on
- Filters for everything beyond the settings, listed on the settings screen itself
Every license includes
- One year of updates and priority support, delivered straight to your WordPress dashboard.
- Use on 1, 5 or 25 sites depending on your license — local, staging and development sites are always free.
- 30-day money-back guarantee — full refund, no questions asked.
- Keeps working after expiry — if you choose not to renew, the plugin keeps running exactly as installed; it simply stops receiving updates and support until you do.

Not the prettiest settings screen I’ve used, but it works. Cart Recovery sits fine alongside my other plugins. Would recommend it.

Fine for what I needed, if not more.

Does what I need, if not quite how I’d have done it. Cart Recovery has been quietly fine. Solid, if unspectacular.

Delighted I found it. I audited my plugins in June and Cart Recovery stayed. Would recommend to anyone running a shop.

Genau die Art Plugin, für die ich gerne zahle. Cart Recovery gehört zu den vier Plugins, ohne die ich keinen Shop mehr aufsetze. Fünf Sterne.
