We are excited to introduce WoodMart 8.1, a major update packed with powerful new features and improvements designed to enhance your eCommerce experience. This update focuses on Marketplace 2 demo site, new functionality for abandoned carts, frontend improvements, and extended compatibility with key WooCommerce plugins. Let’s explore what’s new!
Abandoned Cart Recovery
Recover lost sales with the new Abandoned Cart Recovery functionality! This powerful feature helps you track and re-engage customers who left items in their cart without completing their purchase. It includes:
- One-Click Recovery: Customers can restore their previous cart with a single click, making checkout seamless.
- Automated Email Reminders: Send scheduled reminders to encourage customers to return and complete their purchases.
- Personalized Discounts & Incentives: Offer exclusive discounts or promotions to boost conversion rates.
- Cart Activity Insights: Monitor abandoned carts with detailed analytics to understand customer behavior.
Frontend Mode for Header Builder
Now, you can edit and customize your website header directly from the frontend, making it easier to create the perfect design in real time. This feature provides a more intuitive and visual way to build your header, removing the need for guesswork. With drag-and-drop functionality, live preview updates, and real-time element adjustments, you can seamlessly modify your header layout and styling without switching between multiple screens. This enhancement significantly improves the user experience and speeds up the customization process.
Estimate Delivery Upgrades
We’ve introduced multiple enhancements to the Estimate Delivery feature, improving order tracking and transparency for customers:
- “Holidays and days off” option: Define non-working days to provide more accurate delivery estimates.
- “Tooltip content” option: Add custom tooltips with helpful information about delivery times to improve customer experience.
- “Duplicate” action for Estimate Delivery posts: Save time by duplicating existing estimate delivery settings instead of manually configuring each new option.
- Enhanced customization settings: Tailor delivery messages to align with store policies and improve buyer confidence in shipping timelines.
Free Gift Customization
We’ve enhanced the free gift functionality to provide more flexibility:
- Improved user interface for better clarity on free gift offers, ensuring customers can easily understand their available rewards.
- Show or hide the free gifts table on the cart and checkout pages, giving store owners more control over how gift promotions are displayed.
- New “Base price” option for free gift rules allows you to define a base value for qualifying purchases, making promotions more customizable and strategic.
WooCommerce & Gutenberg Improvements
- Added theme styles for WooCommerce Gutenberg Cart and Checkout blocks to ensure a seamless design experience.
- Added Conditions for WooCommerce Brands, giving you more control over brand display rules.
- Support added for “Payment Plugins for Stripe WooCommerce” and “Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce”, improving payment flexibility.
