I have it set it up for sending every hour. So I assume everyone with a filled cart who has signed out will receive an email every hour until they do something about it. Is this correct?
This module has been very frustrating, I keep trying different commands thinking I did something wrong but receive no emails reminding me of my cart.

But, the module only sends the email once. It doesn't nag them every hour to go back to their cart.

The code appears to do this:
a) when a customer logs in or creates an account, a flag is set
b) when the cron job runs, it looks for any abandoned carts for customers that have a flag set
c) it emails whoever has the flag set
d) and clears all the flags that were set since the last time the cron job ran

For them to be reminded again they would need to log in again.

I got it now. Is there another recover type sales mod for 1.54 that you know of that I may be missing?
All I could find is a pay version, this one good ole Recover Cart mod which is only good for 1.53.

thank you

From a cursory review of the Recover Cart plugin, I'm pretty confident it can be used on v154 without issue.

If there's no admin setting for it, why not just log in as a customer, put something in your cart, and walk away for a couple hours

I like to stay in the loop and be cc'ed on all emails

In the Zen Cart orders.php class, at the bottom is where emails are sent, first to customer, then admin. You could use that code as inspiration for writing new code into your plugin to send another email to your admin.

Thanks. The changes are mostly good. You missed a couple changes in the "install" file, which I've updated in the zip.
