Auto Reminder for Checkout Drop – WooCommerce helps you recover lost sales by automatically emailing customers who abandon their checkout before completing a purchase. It captures lead details at checkout, schedules up to three reminder emails, and tracks conversions when the order is finally placed.

Installation

  1. Download the plugin .zip file from your purchase.
  2. Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  3. Upload the .zip file and click Install Now.
  4. After installation, click Activate Plugin.
  5. Open Settings → Arcd Reminders to configure

Quick Start

  1. Navigate to Settings → Arcd Reminders.
  2. In Reminder Email, set:
  3. Logo URL
  4. Email Subject
  5. Email Heading
  6. Email Body (HTML supported)
  7. Button Label
  8. Button Link (e.g., your checkout or cart URL)
  9. Click Save Changes.
  10. Click Send Test Email to preview the template.
  11. Visit your WooCommerce checkout page to confirm the lead-capture popup appears.

How It Works

  • Lead Capture: When a visitor reaches checkout, a popup form requests their name, email, and phone.
  • Reminder Scheduling: If the order is not completed, the plugin automatically sends emails at these intervals:
    • 5 minutes after abandonment
    • 24 hours later
    • 48 hours later
  • Conversion Tracking: If the user comes back and completes the order, their record is updated to Converted and no further reminders are sent.

Reminder Email Template

  • Add your logo (URL).
  • Use HTML tags for styling.
  • Insert a Call to Action button with your checkout/cart link.
  • Keep subject lines short and engaging to improve open rates.
