Recapture tracks when carts are abandoned on your store, then lets you send recovery emails to encourage the customers who abandoned these carts to complete the purchase. These carts are lost opportunities for your EDD store.

Recapture has already helped merchants generate over $150,000,000 in additional revenue since 2015. The average store recovers an additional 10% of gross revenue with Recapture with no additional traffic to your store.

Start recovering lost carts!

With Recapture you get:

  • Abandoned cart recovery. Automatically send personalized, responsive emails to customers who abandon their shopping cart. Every email includes links that regenerate the customers exact session on your store, regardless of the device they are on.
  • SMS messages for abandoned carts and order notifications. Recapture now supports SMS messages to do cart recovery and order/shipping updates. Recapture lets you use the right channel to reach your customers.
  • Segmented, targeted campaigns. Build segments for each campaign to send highly relevant and targeted emails to each customer. Sending relevant emails will result in higher open rates and more conversions. Segments are intuitive and quick to create!
  • Email collectors, Add to Cart popup & exit intent popups. Deploy a fully responsive email collector popup to build your email list and help identify more carts. Choose from their customizable templates or provide your own, then decide exactly when and where to show a popup to each customer.
  • Amazing analytics. Know exactly how your campaigns perform, down to the email.  Stay in the loop with daily, weekly, or monthly email reports. All the numbers you care about, delivered right to your inbox.
  • Watch your customers, LIVE. Recapture has a Live Cart Feed, letting you watch your customers in real time add and remove items from carts. No one else has this feature!
  • Ease of use for everyone. Drag-and-drop email editor built with non-technical folks in mind. And they support custom HTML too, if you want to get fancy.
  • All the heavy lifting with delivery. Fully responsive emails, pre-tested on all major email clients. Mail delivery issues are a thing of the past (Recapture handles DKIM, SPF, blacklists, reply-to, etc). And they support custom sender domains, too.
  • Integrations you can use. Automatic sync to your Mailchimp lists. Connect to Zapier, too, which opens thousands of triggered actions all supported from Recapture.
  • Reliable to the core. Built on Amazon Web Services for reliability and speed. No need to worry if they can handle your traffic!
  • Painless setup and excellent support. 5-minute setup, no joke — that’s all it takes. And if you run into issues, they have responsive live chat and email support.

Here’s a screenshot from the Recapture demo store (a real, live store that’s been anonymized) to show you what’s possible:

Being able to communicate directly with customers is important. With EDD Message, this becomes much easier. This extension allows store owners to send messages directly to customers right from within their dashboard.

Features

Send customers unique, direct messages

The customer page in the dashboard is extended to include a new view where a custom, unique message can be crafted and delivered to the customer.

edd-message-customer-form

Messages sent to customers and vendors from the dashboard can also include attachments so you can send customers files quickly and conveniently. EDD Message also integrates with our Amazon S3 extension so files can be selected from your S3 buckets and used as attachments.

Log all unique messages sent to customers

EDD Message keeps a record of all the messages that have been sent for you to reference in the future. Messages sent to a specific customer are visible on the Message view for that customer and a table of all logged messages is included in Reports – > Logs.

edd-message-customer-form-showing-logs

Support for Frontend Submissions

For Frontend Submissions users, this extension is even more useful. EDD Message has been designed to work perfectly with Frontend Submissions so marketplace store owners can not only communicate better with vendors, but vendors can also be given the ability to message their own customers.

Messaging vendors

Now, when viewing a vendor in the dashboard, a new view for messaging the vendor directly is included.

edd-message-send-message-to-vendor

Allow vendors to message customers directly

EDD Message does more than just allow store owners to communicate better with customers. Vendors are also given a messaging form for sending unique emails to customers who’ve purchased their products.

edd-message-vendor-message-form

View logged emails

Interested in keeping a record of the emails sent through your digital store? EDD Message includes settings with which you can select the types of messages to keep a record of. When any of those settings are checked, a log of all messages of the selected type will be stored so that you can view them later. These message types include:

  • Administrator to customers or vendors
  • Purchase receipts
  • Vendor messages to customers (requires Frontend Submissions)
  • Customer messages to vendors (requires Frontend Submissions)

Real-time notifications can be a real productivity killer, but it’s easy to feel left-in-the-dark by turning them off and not knowing how your store is performing.

EDD Email Reports solves this conundrum by fetching all of your store’s important statistics and packing them into a detailed sales report email that summarizes how your products are selling for the current day, week, month, and rolling 7 and 30 day intervals.

You’ll know which products are selling the best, allowing you to focus your efforts on pushing the downloads that are working, or, paying more attention to the ones that are moving more slowly.

Let this extension make sense of your store data for you and deliver it conveniently straight to your inbox.

Requires Easy Digital Downloads 3.3.0 or later.

Pay special attention to the size of your download attachments. This extension is great for sending files as attachments, but a large file over 10mb may not reach a customer’s inbox. Some customer’s may have the maximum size for an email set even lower. Also note that this plugin does not remove download links from the purchase confirmation page (this can be done by editing the shortcode-receipt page), or the purchase confirmation receipt (you can remove download links from the email yourself).

Subscribe customers to your lists

With this powerful extension you can grow and engage your audience by taking advantage of all the features Mailchimp provides. First and foremost, you can automatically subscribe customers to specific lists and groups based on the item(s) they have purchased.

Detailed eCommerce reporting

With complete support for Mailchimp’s eCommerce tracking, this extension also provides you with access to the eCommerce reports and automation tools inside of your Mailchimp account.

Segment your lists in so many ways

With the eCommerce data sent from Easy Digital Downloads, you’ll be able to create segments and groups which you can then use for future email campaigns. For example, you can create automated followup campaigns upselling your premium products to only those subscribers who purchased your basic or free downloads. Or you can send surveys to subscribers who purchased only certain products. Or you can create one-time campaigns to send to all customers who bought your old product to tell them about your new one. The possibilities are endless!

Pair Mailchimp with Free Downloads to grow your email list

This Mailchimp extension is fully integrated with our Free Downloads extension, making it even easier to grow your email list rapidly. With this combination, you can convert consumers of your free products into email subscribers, who are then much more likely to want your premium products once they discover just how awesome your free stuff is.

Control your subscription process

You know your business and your audience best. This extension allows you to control how and when customers get subscribed to your list and whether or not they are sent a “double opt-in” email. That email gives them an opportunity to confirm their desire to join your list and helps ensure you are only sending your campaigns to people who want to hear more from you.

Send purchase receipts through Mailchimp

Easy Digital Downloads sends fully customizable purchase receipts automatically to customers after they buy, with no extensions required. But there are a few features offered by Mailchimp which can make it beneficial to rely on their service for delivering these important emails. These include:

  • Improved deliverability. Mailchimp’s email deliverability is second to none. If you’re sending a large volume of emails and/or are having deliverability issues, relying on Mailchimp to handle them will be a smart move.
  • Use Mailchimp email templates. The email templates offered by Mailchimp are beautiful and easy to customize. If you want your purchase receipts to look just like the rest of the emails you send your subscribers, this integration makes it possible.
  • A/B testing. With Mailchimp, any email campaign can be configured so that multiple alternate versions are sent and their results are compared so you can see which version performs better. By using this extension, you can run tests to figure out exactly how to optimize your purchase receipt emails.
