New WooCommerce Plugins for Your Store

WooCommerce allows customers to leave reviews on products, but the method used for storing those reviews is still comments, so those product reviews are stored in the comments and commentmeta database tables. There is a recent plugin which fixes product reviews, by sending reminder emails using the Action Scheduler, storing product views in their custom database tables. The plugin is called Better Reviews for WooCommerce.

Created custom database tables;
wp_woocommerce_better_reviews_attributes
wp_woocommerce_better_reviews_authormeta
wp_woocommerce_better_reviews_charstcs
wp_woocommerce_better_reviews_content
wp_woocommerce_better_reviews_ratings

When the plugin is installed, it adds a reviews admin menu tab.

• Reviews > Reviews
• Reviews > Attributes
• Reviews > Characteristics

The settings for the plugin can be found from;

• WooCommerce > Settings > Product Reviews

The plugin will only create one cron event which is run twice daily;

wbr_process_reminders

Another recent, handy plugin is WooCommerce Return and Warranty Management System. This plugin makes it easy to process a return of a product, create, and manage warranties on the site. You can find all the features here.

Once the plugin has been activated, it adds a new admin menu for

• Return Requests > Requests
• Return Requests > Settings

The last plugin, which may be of use, is Retainful – WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Recovery Emails and Next Order Coupons. This plugin is an easy way to recover abandoned cart, as well as create next order coupons with automated emails.

Once the plugin is installed and activated on the site, the plugin settings will add a number of sections, such as;

• WooCommerce > Retainful – Abandoned Carts
  • Abandoned / Recovered Carts
  • Email Templates
  • Next order coupon
  • Settings
  • License

The API key for Retainful is easy to create. Once an account is created, you can copy the API key from the app settings, and save it into the license tab of the plugin settings.

The plugin will create the following custom database tables on activation;

wp_rnoc_abandoned_cart_history
wp_rnoc_email_sent_history
wp_rnoc_email_templates
wp_rnoc_guest_abandoned_cart_history

The plugin created option names look like this;
retainful
retainful_abandoned_cart_table_created
retainful_abandoned_emails_table_created
retainful_license
retainful_settings
retainful_v_1_1_3_migration_completed

In the Retainful app, you can view the dashboard, conversions, and all coupon use. The plugin and app are easy to use, and will help you recover abandoned carts on your child site store.
