وضاحت
CartRevival is abandoned cart recovery for WooCommerce that also shows you carts as they happen. It shows you the cart filling up right now, and automatically wins it back if the shopper leaves — a genuine cart revival, not just a reminder.
Every shopper who adds a product is captured — registered customers and anonymous guests alike — along with their cart contents, location and device. If they go quiet, CartRevival marks the cart abandoned and sends a cart abandonment email that rebuilds their exact cart in one click.
Live cart tracking, free
The Live tab is a real-time view of your store. Watch visitors arrive, browse, add products and reach checkout, with cart values updating the instant something changes. See what people added and then removed — the hesitation that never shows up in any other report.
What you get for free

- Live cart tracking monitor with real-time visitor and cart status

Built to be invisible on your storefront
Performance was the first requirement, not an afterthought.
- An always-loaded core of about 2 KB gzipped (2.2 KB measured), loaded deferred — every other feature is a tiny module that downloads only when its trigger fires
- No jQuery, no frontend CSS unless you turn on a popup
- Tracking uses
navigator.sendBeacon(), so nothing ever blocks navigation - Custom database tables with pre-aggregated daily reports — dashboards never scan raw data
- No
admin-ajax.phpanywhere - Zero database writes on a page view when the visitor has an empty cart
WhatsApp cart recovery — free
WhatsApp reminders are included in the free plugin. Connect your WhatsApp number free at 6rsh.com, and CartRevival sends an approved-template reminder for every abandoned cart with a phone number. If you already run the 6rsh WooCommerce plugin, CartRevival reuses your existing connection automatically — nothing to paste.
No limits on the free plugin
There is no cart quota, no registration and no account. Everything described above works on every store, on every cart, forever, and this plugin never contacts a licensing server to decide what you may do.
A separate paid add-on, CartRevival PRO, adds channels and automation on top: SMS through Twilio or BulkGate, web push, a unified multi-channel sequence builder, automatically generated single-use coupons, AI message suggestions, email-marketing sync, and the full visitor analytics history. It is an optional extra — nothing here is switched off or held back to make a case for it. Details and pricing.
Performance
CartRevival’s storefront footprint is two-stage, and the always-loaded part is about 2 KB:
- Core (always loads): 2.2 KB gzipped. The tracking beacon and a tiny module loader. Deferred, sendBeacon transport, no CSS, zero render-blocking, zero database writes on an empty-cart page view.
- Feature modules (load only on their trigger): exit intent (~1.1 KB, on a real leave gesture), field capture (~1.4 KB, on first field focus — or on checkout), early-capture popup (~1.0 KB, on add-to-cart), push opt-in + service worker (~0.6 KB, on add-to-cart with push enabled), tab notification (~0.8 KB, first time the tab is hidden). A visitor who never triggers a feature never downloads it.
- Enforced at build time: the release build fails if the core ever exceeds 4 KB gzipped, so the claim cannot silently rot.
External services
This plugin works entirely on your own server by default. It does not phone home, and it has no licence check, no registration and no usage metering: with a fresh install and default settings, it makes no external requests at all.
Three optional integrations can send data off your site. Each is off until you switch it on, and each is listed here with exactly what leaves your server.
1. 6rsh (WhatsApp reminder delivery) — only if you connect it
To send WhatsApp reminders the plugin needs a WhatsApp Business sender, which it reaches through 6rsh, operated by 6rsh.com. It is used only when you save a 6rsh API key (or already run the 6rsh WooCommerce plugin on the same site) and switch the WhatsApp channel on.
- What is sent: your API key, the shopper’s phone number, the approved template name, and the template variables you mapped (typically the shopper’s first name, your store name, the cart total and the recovery link).
- When: at the moment a WhatsApp reminder is sent for an abandoned cart, and when the plugin fetches your list of approved templates so you can pick one.

- Privacy policy: https://6rsh.com/privacy
2. ip-api.com (visitor country and city lookup) — off by default
Location for the carts list and live monitor normally comes from WooCommerce’s own MaxMind database, which is a file on your server; nothing is transmitted for that. If that database cannot place an address, and only if you tick “Look up a visitor’s country and city with an external service” under CartRevival Settings Compliance, that one IP address is sent to ip-api.com, operated by ip-api.com.
- What is sent: a single visitor IP address. Nothing else — no name, email, phone, cart contents or order data.
- When: at most once per IP address per day, and only when the local database returned no country.
- Note: the free ip-api.com endpoint accepts plain HTTP only, so this request is not encrypted in transit. This is why the setting is off by default. You can point it at a provider of your choice with the
cartrevival_geo_provider_urlfilter, or disable it in code with thecartrevival_geo_remote_enabledfilter. - Terms of service: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal
- Privacy policy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal
3. Google reCAPTCHA v3 (bot filtering on capture) — only if you configure it
If you enter reCAPTCHA v3 keys under CartRevival Settings Capture, captures are verified with Google’s siteverify endpoint.
- What is sent: your reCAPTCHA secret key, the reCAPTCHA token from the visitor’s browser, and the visitor’s IP address, to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify.
- When: on each cart capture, while reCAPTCHA keys are configured.
- Terms of service: https://policies.google.com/terms
- Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
4. cartrevival.com (opt-in usage telemetry) — off until you opt in
CartRevival can send a small daily ping to cartrevival.com, operated by us, so we know which plugin, WordPress and PHP versions are in use. This is strictly opt-in: nothing is ever sent until you choose an option on the one-time notice shown on CartRevival’s own admin screens, and choosing “No thanks” is remembered and never re-asked.
- What is sent: the CartRevival version, WordPress version and PHP version, plus either a random site token (if you chose “Share anonymously”) or your site’s domain (only if you chose “Share with my domain”). Never any customer, cart, order or personal data.
- When: at most once per day, only after you opt in. You can change or withdraw the choice at any time under CartRevival Settings Compliance Usage telemetry; withdrawing stops the pings and deletes the site token so past pings cannot be linked to you.

FAQ
-
Will this slow down my store?
-
No. The always-loaded core is about 2 KB gzipped (2.2 KB measured), deferred and never render-blocking. Exit intent, field capture, push opt-in and tab alerts live in separate small modules that download only at the moment their trigger fires. Tracking beacons are fire-and-forget, so the browser never waits on them, and a page view with an empty cart performs no database writes at all. A build-time size gate fails any release whose core exceeds 4 KB, so this number cannot quietly rot.
-
Does it capture guest carts?
-
Yes. Anonymous shoppers are tracked from their first add-to-cart using a first-party cookie and WooCommerce’s own session. As soon as they type an email or phone number at checkout, that cart becomes recoverable.
-
When is a cart considered abandoned?
-
After a period of inactivity you choose, from 15 to 240 minutes, defaulting to 60. Activity means a page view, a cart change or typing at checkout. Each cart schedules its own check, so nothing scans your database on a timer.
-
What happens if the shopper comes back on their own?
-
CartRevival matches the order back to the cart by session, cookie, customer account, email or phone, cancels any pending reminders, and records the revenue. A cart that converts without a reminder is never counted as recovered — your recovery numbers stay honest.
-
Can a customer be emailed twice by mistake?
-
No. Every reminder reserves a unique slot in the send log before it is scheduled, and the send job claims that slot atomically. Two workers racing on the same cart cannot both send.
-
Does it work with the block cart and checkout?
-
Yes. Both the classic shortcode checkout and the newer block checkout are supported, including capturing details entered in block checkout fields.
-
Is it compatible with High Performance Order Storage?
-
Yes. HPOS compatibility is declared, and CartRevival works with it on or off.
-
Does it work on mobile?
-
Yes, including exit intent. CartRevival detects an intent to leave on touch devices through scroll-up velocity and the back gesture.
-
Is it GDPR compliant?
-
CartRevival registers with WordPress’s personal data exporter and eraser, includes a one-click unsubscribe link in every message, and lets you disable IP address and page URL collection entirely. Phone numbers can require explicit consent. Nothing is deleted on uninstall unless you opt in.
-
Does it work in Arabic, or any right-to-left language?
-
Yes, fully. The plugin’s own admin screens and messages are translated, and recovery emails follow the shopper’s language, not your site’s: someone browsing in Arabic gets an entirely Arabic email, right-to-left, including the button and the footer. You can also write your own Arabic version of each recovery step. An email is never sent half in one language and half in another.
-
Do I need a paid account or a licence key to use this?
-
No. The free plugin has no cart quota, no registration, no account and no licence check. It never contacts a licensing server to decide what you are allowed to do. The optional PRO add-on is sold separately and is not required for anything described here.
-
Will it work with my theme and page builder?
-
Yes. The capture popups ship their own self-contained styles, and the plugin adds nothing to your theme’s templates. Both the classic shortcode checkout and the WooCommerce block checkout are supported.
-
What happens to my data if I uninstall?
-
Nothing is deleted unless you tick the box for it under Settings. Delete the plugin with that box unticked and your carts and history stay in the database; tick it first and everything the plugin created is removed cleanly on uninstall.
-
Does it work with a caching plugin?
-
Yes. CartRevival never blocks a cached page. If a cache serves a stale security token, the script quietly fetches a fresh one and retries.
-
How do I send WhatsApp reminders?
-
WhatsApp reminders are free. Connect your WhatsApp number at 6rsh.com (free), then pick an approved message template under CartRevival Recovery WhatsApp. If the 6rsh WooCommerce plugin is already connected on your site, CartRevival uses that connection automatically.

2.14.0
- Fixed: with an unlicensed or lapsed PRO installed, switching a channel off did not switch it off. When PRO is not licensed it deliberately stays out of the way, and the free plugin draws the Recovery screen itself — so you see the “Email series” and WhatsApp switches, and the words “Nothing sends while this is off”. PRO’s own per-step settings were still answering behind that screen, so a channel you had switched off could still be reported as on and could still be sent by hand. The rule is now simple and symmetrical: whoever draws the screen owns the switch. Licensed, PRO’s per-step matrix decides; unlicensed, the switch you can actually see decides — in both directions.
- Fixed: a channel switched off on PRO’s screen could still show as on. The mirror of the same fault. A store that used the free plugin before licensing PRO can have the free plugin’s old WhatsApp switch left at “on” behind PRO’s screen, where it is never displayed — so turning WhatsApp off on every step left the channel reported as enabled with its manual send button still live. A setting with nowhere to appear is no longer treated as a choice anybody made.
- Fixed: the “full history” link at the end of this changelog led to a page that did not exist. The listing here is truncated at 5,000 characters, so older releases are linked rather than shown, and that link had nothing behind it. There is now a real page with every release in full.
- Fixed: two retired download links returned “not found”. The old self-hosted download URLs, which once served a long-superseded build, now redirect to the current release instead of failing.
2.13.0
- Fixed: a reminder could be sent to the right number in the wrong country. Many national mobile numbers have the same shape in more than one country, so the digits alone cannot say which country a number belongs to. CartRevival was allowed to fall back on your store’s own country to decide, and did so for a shopper who was plainly somewhere else — producing a valid number belonging to a different person in a different country, and messaging it. The country is now decided in a fixed order of authority: what the shopper picked themselves, then the country the number itself states, then their billing address, then the country they are browsing from, and only then your store’s country. If none of those is known the reminder is not sent, and the cart says why — CartRevival will not guess a country. The country decided when a number is captured is stored with it and reused when the message goes out, so the two can never disagree later.
- Fixed: the phone popup could stamp your store’s country onto a foreign shopper’s number. The country selector is filled in from your store’s country before the page is served, then corrected to the shopper’s country a moment later. On a cached page, a slow connection, or for a shopper who typed quickly, the correction lost the race and the number reached the server already stamped with your country. The selector now counts as the shopper’s answer only if they actually change it.
- New: the Carts screen shows the number that will really be dialled, with a note saying where its country came from, and a mark on any cart whose number cannot be dialled safely. “Correct country” on the row fixes a wrong one; your correction is final and nothing inferred overrides it.
- New: check existing carts before anything is sent.
wp cartrevival phone-auditreports how many stored numbers were read in a country that disagrees with the cart’s own location or billing address, naming no customers. It changes nothing and sends nothing;--renormalizecorrects them only after you have read the report. - New: normalization can be switched off entirely with the
cartrevival_phone_normalization_enabledfilter, for stores that would rather send nothing than have a country inferred.
