We discussed about Abandoned Orders, Different Settings and Default Email Template in our previous posts. These explained us how carts get abandoned as per the cut-off time settings and how email templates are used to send abandoned cart reminder emails. This emailing mechanism is used to recover lost carts/orders which get listed under the Recovered Orders tab. Let us understand the details of recovered orders in Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce plugin.
You will be able to have a glance at the number of abandoned carts versus recovered carts and its details under Recovered Orders tab.
The Recovered Orders page looks like as shown below:
Recovered Orders page
As you can see, on this page recovered order as well as abandoned order details are displayed. You will find all the recovered orders listed under this tab which were recovered by sending abandoned cart reminder emails to lost customers to encourage them to complete their transaction.
Let us look into each part separately for better understanding.
Filter by Dates
You can have a check on recovered carts on this page as per the selection of date. You can either select range of dates by entering the Start and End Dates or select from the drop down option available for displaying recovered orders during that duration.
Selection of dates
As shown above, Start Date is set to 20th March 2018 and End Date as 27th March 2018. Therefore all recovered carts between the selected range will be displayed. Also when the option Last 7 days is selected from the dropdown, the carts recovered in the last 7 days will be displayed.
Interpretation of the result
