Free and Pro

Everything above is included in ManageCart Free, with no registration, license, or payment required. ManageCart has exactly two editions: Free and Pro. ManageCart Pro, sold through Freemius, is for advanced revenue and automation tools. Pro includes these advanced revenue and automation tools: Dynamic Cart Upsell Rules (rules that show one matching “Special offer” add-on product in the side cart, based on cart subtotal, products and categories); Automatic Coupon Rules (choose an existing WooCommerce coupon to apply automatically when cart conditions match, one automatic coupon at a time, never replacing a coupon the shopper entered; WooCommerce still validates every coupon); Frequently Bought Together (up to 3 offers per product, shown in the side cart); Smart Cart Goals & Rewards (a compact progress goal in the side cart footer for the enabled campaign with the lowest priority number; display only, nothing is granted automatically); Checkout Order Bumps (one matching add-on offer on both the classic WooCommerce checkout and the Checkout Block, added only when the shopper clicks the button); Conversion & Cart Analytics (a local, anonymous dashboard of cart views, checkout starts, completed orders and offer activity, off by default, with 30 to 365 day retention and one-click deletion; it is not Google Analytics and sends nothing to third parties); and Cart Urgency Campaigns (up to 10 truthful campaigns, either low stock or a deadline; the ManageCart side cart shows one eligible notice, such as “Low stock: only 3 left for Product Name” using WooCommerce’s real stock quantity, or your headline with one fixed end time and a live countdown to it, which disappears at expiry and never resets; there are no fake timers or fake scarcity). Saved Cart & Cart Recovery (Parts 1 to 3: privacy-safe local saved-cart storage, off by default, with a minimal encrypted snapshot of product IDs and quantities, 1 to 30 day retention and one-click deletion; an optional, separately enabled explicit private recovery link that restores a cart only after a confirmation click; and an optional, separately enabled, consent-based recovery email: only after a shopper types their own address and ticks a consent box, one private restore link is emailed after a delay you choose, using WP-Cron and wp_mail(), with the address encrypted, erased once the job ends and withdrawable at any time. Everything is off by default; no address is ever collected from checkout or accounts, there is no marketing, tracking or third-party service, no delivery is guaranteed, and no cart is ever restored automatically).

External services

ManageCart includes the Freemius SDK, which connects the plugin to Freemius (https://freemius.com), a third-party service used for optional account access, support contact, and upgrades to the paid ManageCart Pro edition.

Nothing is sent to Freemius until a site administrator explicitly opts in on the Freemius screen shown in wp-admin. You can skip it and keep using ManageCart.
If you opt in, Freemius receives basic account and site information (such as the administrator’s name and email address, the site URL, the WordPress, PHP, and plugin versions, and an overview of installed plugins and themes) so it can provide account, support, licensing, and update features. Using the Account, Contact Us, or Upgrade screens, or activating a license, also communicates with Freemius.
