Cart Abandonment Analytics & Reporting Overview

Introduction

The Cart Abandonment Recovery plugin comes with a built-in analytics dashboard and reporting area that give you a clear picture of how many carts are being abandoned, how many you’re recovering, and how much revenue your recovery campaigns are generating.

This guide walks you through every metric, filter, and table available — so you can make data-driven decisions to improve your recovery rate.

Prerequisites

  • Cart tracking enabled under Settings > General > Enable Tracking
  • At least a few recorded abandoned and/or recovered carts (reports will appear empty otherwise)

The Abandoned Carts Table

Each row represents one tracked cart:

ColumnDescription
Customer EmailShopper’s email address (primary identifier)
Order TotalTotal value of the cart
Customer NameFull name if provided at checkout
StatusRecoverable, Recovered, or Lost
Date AbandonedWhen the cart was marked as abandoned
ActionsView details, unsubscribe, or delete

  • Delete selected carts
  • Unsubscribe selected customers

Reports > Product (Pro)

Go to WooCommerce > Cart Abandonment > Reports > Product.

Shows which individual products appear most often in abandoned carts — useful for identifying high-abandonment SKUs and adjusting pricing, descriptions, or recovery offers accordingly.

Per-Template Metrics in Follow Up Templates (Pro)

The Follow Up Templates list (under the Email sub-tab) shows per-template performance columns:

ColumnWhat It Means
SentTotal emails sent from this template
Open Rate% of sent emails that were opened
Click Rate% of opened emails where a link was clicked
Conversion Rate% that resulted in a recovered order
UnsubscribedNumber of unsubscribes triggered from this template

Use these to compare which email in your sequence (e.g., 30-min vs. 1-day vs. 3-day) drives the most recoveries.

Templates Metric

Recovery Report Emails

The plugin can automatically email a weekly recovery summary to one or more admin addresses.

Setup: Go to Settings > Recovery Report > enable Send Recovery Report Emails > enter admin email addresses (one per line).

This is helpful for store managers who want a regular digest without logging into WordPress every week.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Check the Dashboard weekly — a sudden spike in Lost Orders may indicate an email deliverability issue.
  • Compare date ranges — use custom ranges to measure the impact of changes in your templates or timing.
  • Aim for a recovery rate of 10%+ — industry average for well-optimized campaigns.
  • If Recovered Revenue is low but Recoverable Orders is high, your emails may not be landing in inboxes — check SPF/DKIM setup.
  • Use per-template metrics to identify which email in your sequence earns the most conversions — then optimize timing and copy accordingly.
