We have created a new module that sends out email reminders for users that have abandoned their shopping carts.

The module is now available here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1589

This module automatically sends a reminder email to a registered user who has abandoned their cart. This is fully automated, and will send the email after however many hours you have set. You may also customize the email templates that are sent to the customer.

This is a great marketing module. Big Thanks to developer!

Could you please advise if there is any way to see what customers received this email? Any options to track opens, etc.
Is this only going to be sent once to the same person?

I've got everything up and running including cron job every hour but would love to be able to get some insights.

Kind Regards

Hi Damian,

Thank you for the comments. There is no tracking to see who received or opened the emails. It will only send one email unless the user logs back in and leaves items in their cart again. To make sure the cron is working, I would set the reminder hours to 1, login to the web site, add something to your cart and logout. In an hour you should get an email.

Thanks

Hello. I have installed the mod on my zen cart install, v1.5.0. The cart_reminder_install.php runs without error. However after install, I see the new configuration section for the Shopping Cart reminder, but when I enter that section there are no options to configure.

A screen shot is available here: http://inspiredbydominic.com/store/screen.png

Please let me what I can do to diagnose the issue. Thanks!

Looks like you are either missing files, files corrupted during upload or of the sort. Try re-uploading all files one at a time in their proper directories and see if it fixes it.

I am finishing up a drop-in mailbeez module that will utilize the features of mailbeez (tracking, opt outs, etc.).

No ETA yet, but its in process.

This has been attempted twice and the screen remains the same.

Not sure about this one. Did you make sure the SQL was installed properly? As you see in the image it works and all I did was drop the files in their proper directories and upload the SQL . Weird indeed as far as I can tell something did not upload or it corrupted during upload or your SQL was not installed. Maybe someone with the same issue as you have can be more assistance.

There were SQL errors in the cart_reminder_install.php (latest version).

On line 46:

$sql = "UPDATE `".DB_PREFIX."configuration_group` SET `sort_order` = $last_id WHERE `configuration_group_id`=";

The "configuration_group_id" variable isn't passed into the statement. I commented this out.

In addition to that, the statements that follow do not append the DB_PREFIX to the configuration table.

i.e.

$sql = "INSERT INTO configuration ...

should be

$sql = "INSERT INTO `".DB_PREFIX."configuration` ...

Thanks for all your help!
