Biggest opportunity: Swap “exit popup”, “woocommerce” and “activecampaign” for “abandoned cart”, “abandoned cart recovery” and “abandonment”. “exit popup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “abandoned cart” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “abandoned cart recovery” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “activecampaign” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “abandonment” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 481.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,164 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “exit popup”, “woocommerce” and “activecampaign” for “abandoned cart”, “abandoned cart recovery” and “abandonment”. “exit popup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “abandoned cart” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “abandoned cart recovery” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “activecampaign” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “abandonment” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “activecampaign”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Nem no gratuito tem o envio de email – que péssimo Not even the free version has email sending – how terrible
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ nukurt1.5y ago
We were using the Free version of this plugin until recently. Client had reported the website being horrendously slow to load via the admin & on the frontend when visiting Product category / Product pages. Turns out the root cause was this plugin. The table used by this plugin had nearly 2 millions records of data associated with it. I would assume because the sheer number of “anonymous carts” which were being saved. So i would certainly not recommend leaving the “Exclude anonymous carts” setting off. For some reason while viewing almost any page in the Admin area, or viewing a Product Category / Product page on the frontend it seems to query the entire dataset from the plugin table causing massive overheads to load time. So it’s clearly not very well optimized to cope with a large volume of data. Would be nice if there was an automated way to remove the data e.g. Carts older than 1 month old. Or to bulk delete data (rather than 1 page at a time). Rather than having to manually do this in the Database. Also the ability to stop bots creating abandoned carts is locked behind the PRO version. Which alongside the above, feels like it should just be built in. Otherwise you’re bound to hit performance problems sooner or later and forced to upgrade. All of the above means the free version of this plugin is unusable to us going forward. Perhaps we wouldn’t have run into issues if we’d had turned on “Exclude anonymous carts” to begin with. But without as easy way to remove all the old data the damage has already been done. We’ve moved to using Mailchimp’s built in Abandoned Cart functionality since Mailchimp is already used for customer signups. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by nukurt.

I was looking for a abandoned cart plug in that wasn’t so much for running email prompts to customers, as to help me understand root cause of abandonment. This gives me great data, and is simple to get started with.

I tested most if not all the abadon cart plugins on the market and I think this one is the best. I say that because of its function, look, styling. also, because it has one key functions others dont. it can force the visitor to have to enter email before adding to cart.

J’avais un gros problème de panier abandonné par des robots aux USA, finalement le fait de désactiver les paniers anonymes a stoppé ce phénomène. Je verrai sur la longue si cela revient
