Live Carts for WooCommerce: Track Real-Time, Abandoned, and Converted Carts!

The Live Carts plugin by BerryPress extends WooCommerce by adding real-time tracking of all customer shopping carts within your WordPress admin. It provides a complete list of customer carts, including their status (active, abandoned, or converted) and total value. Clicking a cart ID reveals more details, including all products and quantities in the cart. Optionally, the plugin can display a cart ID on the frontend, visible to the customer. The admin interface supports searching for carts based on this ID. This allows store support to look up a customer cart if the customer provides their cart ID. The plugin also calculates some basic cart statistics at Analytics > Carts, with date filtering based on the cart creation date.

This plugin can be installed under Plugins > Add New Plugin, either by searching for the plugin title or by downloading the plugin zip file and uploading it via the Upload Plugin feature.
