详情介绍:
CartCue is the WooCommerce abandoned cart recovery and sales automation plugin that runs entirely inside your WordPress dashboard — no monthly SaaS fee, no customer data leaving your server.
Most WooCommerce stores lose 60–70% of shoppers at checkout. A customer abandons a cart. A payment fails. A first-time buyer never hears back. A loyal customer goes quiet. CartCue turns those moments into automated revenue recovery — set once, run forever.
Abandoned cart recovery that works
CartCue detects when a shopper enters their email at checkout and leaves before completing the order. It then waits your chosen delay (10 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day) and sends a personalized abandoned cart recovery email with their cart contents, total, and a direct recovery link. You can include a unique coupon to bring them back.
Works for both registered customers and guest shoppers. No external account needed.
WooCommerce automation without the complexity
Every automation in CartCue follows a plain-English flow:
- Trigger: what WooCommerce event starts this automation?
- Timing: how long to wait before acting?
- Conditions: who should receive it?
- Action: send an email, generate a coupon, add an order note, or change order status.
- Cart Abandoned — recover carts from shoppers who entered their email and left.
- Checkout Started — catch shoppers who reached checkout but did not finish.
- Order Paid — post-purchase follow-ups, thank-you emails, review requests, cross-sell offers.
- Order Status Changed — trigger automations when orders move between WooCommerce statuses.
- Payment Failed — send a recovery reminder when a customer payment fails.
- Order Refunded / Cancelled — follow up after refunds or cancellations.
- New Customer Created — welcome new registered customers automatically.
- Customer Win-Back — re-engage customers who have not ordered in N days.
- Never Purchased — nudge registered users who signed up but never bought.
wp_mail() — the same delivery path WooCommerce uses — so they work with any SMTP or transactional email plugin you already have.
Variable fallbacks prevent awkward blanks: {{customer.first_name|there}} outputs "there" when a guest has no stored name.
Audience conditions — send to the right customers
Avoid sending every message to everyone. Add conditions to each automation:
- Order total above or below a threshold
- Customer placing their first order
- Customer has ordered N or more times
- Customer is a registered user or guest
- Customer has a specific WordPress role

- Execution history per customer
- WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) compatible

常见问题:
What is CartCue?
CartCue is a WooCommerce abandoned cart recovery and sales automation plugin. It lets you create automated plays triggered by WooCommerce events — abandoned carts, paid orders, failed payments, new customers, inactive customers, and more — and takes actions like sending a personalized email, generating a coupon, or changing an order status.
How does WooCommerce abandoned cart recovery work?
When a shopper enters their email address at checkout and leaves before completing the order, CartCue captures the cart and schedules a recovery email. You can send the email immediately or after a delay (e.g., 1 hour, 24 hours). The email includes the cart contents, total, and a one-click recovery link that restores their cart automatically.
Does abandoned cart recovery work for guests?
Yes. CartCue recovers guest carts as long as the shopper has entered their email address at checkout. You can also configure plays to send only to registered customers if you prefer.
Does CartCue require a monthly subscription?
No. The free version is fully functional with no subscription or credit card required. CartCue Pro is a per-site purchase, not a monthly recurring fee that scales with your revenue or contact count.
Will CartCue work with my SMTP or transactional email plugin?
Yes. CartCue sends email through wp_mail(), the standard WordPress email function. It is compatible with WP Mail SMTP, Postmark, Mailgun, SendGrid, FluentSMTP, and any other SMTP or transactional email plugin.
Is CartCue compatible with WooCommerce HPOS?
Yes. CartCue is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / custom order tables).
Can I send personalized WooCommerce emails with customer and order data?
Yes. CartCue emails support variables for customer first name, last name, email, order number, order total, order items, cart total, cart recovery link, coupon code, store name, and store URL. You can use fallback values for missing data — for example {{customer.first_name|there}} outputs "there" for guests with no stored name.
Can I create and send coupon codes automatically?
Yes. The free version includes a Create Coupon action that creates a coupon with your chosen discount and inserts it into the email. For a unique, one-time coupon code generated per customer, upgrade to CartCue Pro.
How is CartCue different from FunnelKit Automations or AutomateWoo?
CartCue is lighter, faster to set up, and does not require an external CRM account or a monthly subscription. It is focused on WooCommerce-native automations that store owners need most: abandoned cart recovery, win-back, post-purchase follow-ups, and payment recovery. Advanced marketing CRM features are not included by design.
Can I build a follow-up sequence — multiple emails over several days?
Yes. Each CartCue play supports follow-up steps with individual time delays. The free version includes up to 2 follow-up steps per play. CartCue Pro supports unlimited steps.
Does CartCue track email opens and clicks?
Yes. CartCue embeds a tracking pixel for opens and wraps links for click tracking. Open rate, click rate, and per-play performance are visible in the Reports dashboard.
Can I use CartCue to send win-back emails to inactive customers?
Yes. The Customer Win-Back trigger fires daily for registered customers who have not placed an order in a set number of days (configurable). You can target customers inactive for 30, 60, 90 days or any value you choose.
Does CartCue store customer data on my server?
Yes. All automation logs, cart data, email tracking, and customer consent records are stored in your WordPress database. No customer data is sent to CartCue or any external server.
Is CartCue compatible with WooCommerce Subscriptions?
The free version works with standard WooCommerce orders. CartCue Pro adds dedicated triggers for WooCommerce Subscriptions renewal, cancellation, pause, and reactivation events.
Can I export activity logs or customer data?
Log export (CSV) is available in CartCue Pro. The free version provides in-dashboard reporting with the activity log view.
What WooCommerce version does CartCue require?
CartCue requires WooCommerce 8.0 or higher. It has been tested up to WooCommerce 9.9.
更新日志:
1.0.7
- Fixed: "Wait before this step" values now persist correctly — the unified editor no longer overwrites saved per-action delays with hardcoded defaults on page load.
- Fixed: "Send test" button now fires the test AJAX request —
apCollectInlineActionsis exposed globally and the email builder syncs before collecting inline actions for the test payload. - Fixed: shared coupon action now uses slug
create_shared_coupon, separate from the Pro unique-coupon action (create_coupon), preventing schema collisions when license state changes; legacy saves withcreate_couponstill resolve correctly. - Fixed: plain-text email bodies no longer apply a redundant
wp_unslash()that could strip intentional backslashes. - Fixed: Send Now segment preview count now respects the Limit field and shows "X matching, Y will be sent" when a cap applies (Pro).
- Fixed: "Days Since Last Order" rule now counts only paid orders for registered customers, matching the guest billing-email lookup.
- Fixed: email click-tracking links (
/cartcue-track/click/) returning 404 when rewrite rules were stale after install or update — rules now register before flush on activation, auto-flush on frontend loads via a versioned option, and a URI fallback handler records clicks even before rewrites refresh. - Fixed: historical guest import and consent migration could overwrite a previous unsubscribe (
status = 0) back to opted-in —grant()now blocks historical/migration sources from resurrecting suppressed addresses; checkout opt-in can still restore consent. - Fixed: duplicate
id="ap-test-btn"in the unified play editor — header and live-preview send buttons no longer collide; test-send handlers use a shared class. - Fixed: loading an email preset in the visual builder no longer throws a
renderStylesPanelreference error. - Fixed: plays list overflow (⋯) menu now toggles closed on a second click instead of immediately reopening.
- Fixed: unified play editor no longer runs competing audience-count requests from
admin.jsandaudience-estimate.json the same container. - Fixed: unified play editor timing and frequency pill clicks no longer fire duplicate handlers from legacy
admin.jsbindings. - Improved: Send Now success message clarifies that automation rules are evaluated when the queued run executes (Pro).
- New: "Customer email" automation rule — equals, contains, or does not equal.
- New: Send Now — optional "Send only to these test emails" field to queue a campaign only to specified addresses within the selected segment (Pro).
- Fixed: visual email builder now persists sidebar edits (text, button, colours) to the hidden body field —
updateBlockPreview()was targeting the removed card layout and skippedpersist()on most edits. - Fixed: builder sync runs in the submit capture phase and on submit-button click so the latest canvas state is posted even when other handlers run first.
- Fixed: email body save no longer double-applies
wp_unslash()after the actions array is already unslashed; corrupted builder JSON now shows an admin error instead of silently saving empty content. - Improved: Customer Win-Back trigger finds all customers inactive at least N days (not just a ±12h window), skips those already recorded in play_runs for the workflow, and supports batch limits via filter.
- New: Settings → SMS & WhatsApp tab — configure Twilio and Vonage credentials (Pro required to send; credentials can be saved on Free). Auth tokens/secrets are preserved when left blank on save.
- New: SMS test delivery on the SMS settings tab — verify Twilio or Vonage credentials with a test message.
- New: Custom email wrapper in Settings → Advanced — optional HTML shell with {{BODY}} for all CartCue outbound emails.
- Improved: Reports overview — clearer revenue labelling, stat card sublabels, open-rate empty state, chart polish, and per-play links; CSV export button links to Pro upgrade on Free.
- Improved: Reports → Activity Log — compact filter toolbar and fixed-width date inputs.
- Improved: Settings layout — tab navigation (General, SMS & WhatsApp), grouped compliance fields, and consistent input sizing; removed dead ?tab=integrations and ?tab=advanced routes.
- Fixed: Reports tab header no longer shows a vertical scrollbar on narrow layouts.
- Fixed: fatal error when saving or activating automations (missing SequenceBuilder and PlayLabels imports in the admin save handler).
- Fixed: one-time blast (manual campaign) now sets and saves Manual / Campaign correctly when CartCue Pro is active — dedicated editor UI, hidden trigger input, and server-side enforcement.
- Fixed: audience preview for one-time blasts includes registered customers and imported guest emails; audience filter changes update the match count (Pro).
- Guest import: campaign segment layer recognizes imported guest emails (Pro).
- UX: "New automation" opens the type picker (Triggered vs One-time blast) instead of jumping straight to Templates.
- Fixed: manual campaign editor fatal error (missing play-edit.php) — campaigns now use the unified play editor.
- Fixed: database errors for missing ap_carts triggered_at and lost_at columns on existing installs (schema upgrade runs on every load).
- Play editor: styled “See all tags” expand control to match CartCue buttons.
- Settings: Save settings button now uses the same CartCue primary button style as the rest of the admin.
- New: block (Store API) checkout now captures guest emails for Cart Abandoned and Checkout Started recovery — previously only the classic shortcode checkout was supported. Capture runs server-side and respects the cart-tracking consent setting.
- Fixed: minimum cart total and cart-total trigger conditions now use a precise numeric amount, fixing incorrect matching on stores that use comma decimals or thousands separators.
- Fixed: completing an order after reaching checkout now cancels the queued "you didn't finish checkout" follow-up (carts in the checkout-started state are marked purchased).
- Improved: revenue attribution no longer credits transactional emails (order paid, payment failed, status change, refund/cancel, review request) and requires an open or click by default (Pro). New filters: cartcue_non_attributable_triggers and cartcue_attribution_require_engagement.
- Fixed: multi-step manual campaign sequences no longer default to a 1-day delay between steps — subsequent steps run immediately unless a delay is explicitly configured.
- Fixed: "Days Since Last Order" audience filter now checks the customer's billing email in addition to their customer ID, so orders placed as a guest before registering are counted correctly.
- Fixed: email body content in the visual builder is now reliably included on save — the builder syncs its canvas state to the hidden textarea immediately before the form is posted.
- Fixed: TinyMCE no longer initialises on email-builder-controlled textareas, preventing raw builder JSON from appearing in the classic editor fallback.
- Fixed: "Send test" emails now bypass marketing-consent and unsubscribe checks so the admin address always receives the test message.
- Fixed: "Send test" now uses the live editor content rather than the last-saved database state, so unsaved changes are reflected in the test send.
- New: "All eligible customers — registered + imported guests" campaign segment combines and deduplicates registered customers and imported guest contacts by email address (registered account takes priority when the same email appears in both groups).
- Unified play editor: multi-step follow-ups now save correctly with per-action wait fields (fixes recipes losing sequence timing on save).
- Unified editor: trigger search, conditional trigger settings (description + show/hide dependencies), and categorized action inserter groups.
- Removed legacy play editor and unused stepper/timeline assets; all event automations use the unified editor.
- Play labels: comma-separated tags in Advanced settings, label chips on the automations list, and label filter in the toolbar.
- Cart abandoned trigger: priority field (one play per cart when multiple match) plus minimum cart total and required product ID filters with quick preset chips.
- Extended initial wait modes: send at a specific store time (optional weekdays) or until a chosen date/time.
- Reports: per-play report page with step performance chart and recent customer activity; Steps link in the performance table.
- Reports overview: “Revenue recovered” hero stat with watching-state copy when attribution is still $0.
- Automations list: in-progress badge for plays with pending scheduled follow-up jobs; live status strip (carts seen today, recovery emails queued, recovered today).
- Performance: WooCommerce trigger hooks register only for triggers used by active plays (cart tracking always stays on).
- Onboarding: first-run wizard collapsed to one screen — pick a goal and activate in a single click.
- Empty state & templates: one-click “Turn on Abandoned Cart Recovery” creates, activates, and opens the play report.
- Templates: 8 featured recipes up front; remaining templates under a collapsed “More templates” section.
- Free admin menu streamlined — Send Now and Integrations removed (upsell rows on Templates and Settings instead).
- Free editor: Pro ghost inserter curated to 5 high-intent teasers (SMS, CRM sync, Subscriptions, Birthday, Webhook).
- Settings: global limits, quiet hours, non-production safety, and guest import moved into a closed Advanced accordion; JSON import is Pro-only.
- Settings: deliverability pre-flight — “Sending as …” with inline send test next to From email.
- Review prompt: one-time wp.org review ask after the first real email send or recovered order (dismissible).
- Metadata: keyword-rich plugin title, tags, and short description for WordPress.org search.
- Requires WooCommerce 8.0 or higher (tested up to 9.9).
- Release
- Free plan: up to 5 active plays at a time (unlimited paused plays); Pro has unlimited active plays.
- Merged execution logs into Reports (Overview and Logs tabs); the legacy Logs menu URL now redirects automatically.
- Added guided 4-step wizard for new plays: Trigger → Timing → Message → Review.
- Added variable fallback syntax:
{{customer.first_name|there}}outputs fallback when variable is empty. - Added frequency limit pill controls (every time / once per customer / cooldown period).
- Improved story bar: clicking any colored step jumps directly to that section.
- Fixed plugin name collision on activation.
- Initial release — WooCommerce abandoned cart recovery, win-back emails, post-purchase automations, coupon generation, email tracking, and reports.
