TabPulse — Tab Recovery for WooCommerce

TabPulse is a WooCommerce abandoned cart recovery plugin that catches customers the moment they switch away from your cart or checkout page — by animating the browser tab title with custom messages like “⚠️ Your cart is waiting!” or “💰 You left $47.50 behind!”.

No intrusive pop-ups. No email capture. Minimal server impact. Just a subtle, effective cart recovery nudge right in the tab bar — invisible until the customer actually leaves.

Most abandoned cart plugins are heavy, require email opt-ins, or fire on every page. TabPulse is different: it activates only when a customer switches tabs during checkout, adds minimal server impact, and works silently in the background.

Free features (this plugin)

• ✅ Unlimited custom tab messages for abandoned cart recovery
• ✅ {cart_total} placeholder — show the customer their real cart value (e.g. “You left $47.50 behind!”)
• ✅ Configurable rotation speed (1 to 5 seconds)
• ✅ Returns counter — see how many customers came back to your cart this week and this month
• ✅ Works on cart and checkout pages only — zero footprint everywhere else
• ✅ No jQuery. No third-party requests. One small AJAX call to your own server records each return. About 5 KB of vanilla JS (about 1.5 KB compressed).
• ✅ Privacy-friendly: no cookies, no personal data stored (only an aggregate return counter)

TabPulse Pro (separate plugin at tabpulse.net)

TabPulse Pro builds on the free version with:

• 💸 Auto-coupons — when a customer comes back to the tab, Pro creates a unique single-use coupon (fixed discount, expires in 24 hours) and applies it to their cart
• 📊 Recovered revenue report — see revenue recovered in two separate ways: orders that used a TabPulse coupon, and orders placed within 24 hours of a return (never double-counted)
• 🛡️ Coupon abuse protections — daily coupon limit, per-email discount limit, optional one-coupon-per-connection limit, and abuse alerts
• 🔴 Favicon badge — a red notification dot on your store’s favicon
• ⚡ More rotation speeds — up to 10 seconds between messages (the free version offers 1 to 5)
