== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is the difference between Lite and Pro version of the plugin? =

To see how the PRO version can help you recover more abandoned carts compared to Lite, you can refer **[here](https://www.tychesoftwares.com/differences-between-pro-and-lite-versions-of-abandoned-cart-for-woocommerce-plugin/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=faqlink&utm_campaign=AbandonedCartLite "Lite and Pro version Difference")**

= How is the email address of the customers captured? =

Our plugin captures visitor emails in real-time as they're typing it in to the email address field on the checkout page, so you don't need to worry about them changing their mind at the last second.

When logged-in user add the product to the cart we capture the email address from the user's profile.

= Can the plugin track carts abandoned by guest users? =

Yes, it captures the carts of the guest users from the checkout page. We capture the guest user's abandoned cart only after the customer enters the "Email Address" on the checkout page.

Also, plugin does capture the cart from the cart page, these carts do not have any personal information of the customers. It will contain only the cart details. To capture, this information guest customer should reach the cart page of the website.

= Why are abandoned cart notification emails not getting sent? =

Please ensure you have at least one Email template "Active". As only active email templates are sent to recover the abandoned carts. 

For sending the abandoned cart notification emails automatically, we use WP-Cron. If you have Email templates activated and still notification are not sent, then you can debug the issue by following this **[post](https://www.tychesoftwares.com/using-wp_alternate_cron-to-overcome-the-problem-of-emails-not-being-sent-in-abandoned-cart-pro-plugin-for-woocommerce/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=AbandonedCartLite "WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Pro")**.

= When is the cart considered as an abandoned cart? =

When the products in the cart is not purchased within the set 'Cart abandoned cut-off time' then the cart is considered as an abandoned cart.

= How to unsubscribe the abandoned cart notification emails? =

The admin can use the merge code `{{cart.unsubscribe}}' in the email templates. It will be replaced with a url in the abandoned cart email notification sent to the customer. When clicked, the reminder email notification for the particular email will be unsubscribed.

When this setting is enabled it will enable tracking of abandoned products & carts even if the customer does not visit the checkout page or does not enter any details on the checkout page like Name or Email.

* Enhancement - When the email sending script is executed on the server, it was running a large number of MySQL queries for guest users. That was causing an increase in the server load. In this version, we have optimised the queries. Now, the plugin will not fetch all the guest users record as it will fetch the necessary record which needs to be checked. This will improve the site performance.

= 3.3 (22.11.2016) =

* This version has 2 bug fixes.

* Bug fixed: If the store has the wrong guest user id in the database then it was creating issues where guest users cart was not populating the correct cart data while recovering their cart from reminder email received. This has been fixed.

* Enhancements - The plugin will now display the user's billing first name & billing last name for the "Customer Details" column of the abandoned orders tab.

* Enhancements - Earlier rounding off of the decimal values was hardcoded in the plugin. Now, it will round the decimal values based on the WooCommerce setting named "Number of Decimals" which is located at WooCommerce -> Settings menu.

* Enhancements - Earlier plugin was sending the abandoned cart reminder to the customer if the email body content was blank. Now, the plugin will not consider the blank email body template for sending the abandoned cart reminder emails.

* Bug Fixed - If "Send the Abandoned cart emails to the admin" setting is enabled and Admin of the store create manual order from WooCommerce -> Orders page then abandoned cart recovered email was getting sent to the Admin. This has been fixed.

* Bug Fixed - The count of abandoned carts on Recovered Orders tab was updated before "Cart abandoned cut-off time" limit is passed. This has been fixed.

= 3.1 (15.09.2016) =

* New Feature - The email sending logic has been changed. Due to some reason, the abandoned cart remainder emails are not sent to the customers at the time they are intended to be sent, and if after some time, the emails start sending, then multiple email templates whose interval has been reached were all sent together. Now, the plugin will also consider the last abandoned cart reminder email sent time and will keep a time gap between the last email template that was sent & the current email template's time, thereby ensuring emails are not sent together.

* Bug Fixed - The "Alter" table queries have been changed in the plugin. Instead of using get_results(), it now uses the query().

* Bug Fixed - We have used the encryption libraries mcrypt_encrypt, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 to generate the cart links sent in the abandoned cart reminder emails. Due to this on some servers where these libraries were not enabled, the abandoned cart email notification were not sent to the recipients. This has been fixed. 

* Bug Fixed - Earlier the "InnoDB" table engine type was hardcoded in plugin queries. As a result, the plugins tables were not created where the engine type was other than "InnoDB". This has been fixed.

* Bug Fixed - Some warnings were displayed in the Debug log file. This has been fixed.

= 3.0 (26.07.2016) =

* Enhancements - In this version, the code has been refined throughout the plugin & the folder structure has also been modified.

* Enhancements - Earlier rounding off of the decimal values was hardcoded in the plugin. Now, it will round the decimal values based on the WooCommerce setting named "Number of Decimals" which is located at WooCommerce -> Settings menu.

* Bugs Fixed - When setting "Email admin On Order Recovery" is enabled & order is recovered from the abandoned cart reminder notifications using "Cash On Delivery" payment gateway. Then the order is not considered as recovered & the order was not displayed in the "Recovered Orders" tab. This has been fixed.

* Bugs Fixed - Earlier the abandoned cart reminder emails & abandoned orders details page was not displaying the selected attributes for the variable products. This has been fixed.

* Bugs Fixed - The "Abandoned Date" column of the abandoned orders tab was not considering the time for sorting. This has been fixed.

= 2.9 (05.07.2016) =

* New Feature - New merge tag {{cart.unsubscribe}} has been added for email templates. This merge tag allows user to stop receiving further abandoned cart reminder email notifications. This merge tag has been added to comply with email sending laws in different countries.

* Bugs Fixed - Earlier if any user came from abandoned cart reminder email and place the order using PayPal payment gateway and do not reach the order received page. Then plugin was not considering that order as a recovered order. From now onwards if the user came from the abandoned cart reminder email and place the order using PayPal and does not reach the order received the page. Then plugin will consider that cart as a recovered order.

* Bugs Fixed - When the cart is abandoned as a guest & product have the special character in the attributes name, then it was displaying a blank row with only a checkbox on the Abandoned Orders tab. This has been fixed.

* Tweak - If the order is recovered from the abandoned cart reminder email then it will add a note "This order was abandoned & subsequently recovered." for the order.

= 2.8 (18.05.2016) =

* We have changed the encryption for the links that are sent in the Abandoned cart email notifications. Earlier we were using the mcrypt library for encoding the data. If mcrypt library was not installed on the server, then abandoned cart email notifications were not sent. Now we have used different functions for encoding the string. We have used microtime function & a security key. Using this security key, and after applying an algorithm on it, we generate the encoded string.

* The session now starts only on required pages of the store. Earlier it was started globally. This will help to improve the site performance.

* If billing email address of the logged-in user is not set then it was showing blank space on the abandoned orders list. This has been fixed. Now it will show the email address which was used while registering to the store.

* Earlier if email body was blank and we send the test email then blank email was sent. This has been fixed. Now if email body is blank then test email will not be sent.

* Tweak - Earlier we were populating the guest cart information by looping into the global WooCommerce cart. Now we are not looping & instead using the WooCommerce session object itself.
