Cron and extra settings

CRON settings

To work correctly, the plugin requires WordPress Cron. We, therefore, recommend verifying it is properly working on your site.

The emails are automatically sent to users when the time set in the template email expires and the CRON is performed. Set the time interval to send the recovery emails by entering a value and selecting minutes, hours, or days in the option Set CRON each available in Settings > CRON settings.

Extra settings

If you need your shop managers to be able to manage the plugin settings, you can do so by enabling the option Allow shop manager to manage plugin settings available in Settings > Extra settings.

GDPR compliance

The plugin is GDPR compliant. In the Settings section, you can choose whether to save the abandoned carts of guest users by adding a checkbox through which they can give their consent for the use of their email.

The checkbox text can be customized through the option “Recover abandoned terms and conditions” text. For example, if you set the plugin to consider the cart abandoned after 24 hours, you should update your policies and include this time in the text.
