[WinCarts](https://www.wincarts.com/) helps WooCommerce store owners recover abandoned carts through AI-powered SMS marketing automation. When customers leave items in their cart without completing purchase, our 2-way AI automatically engages with abandoners, resolves their hesitations, and gets more of those carts to checkout without you lifting a finger.

* Storing and tracking abandoned cart data
* Sending SMS cart recovery messages to customers who have consented
* Managing popup settings and customization

* **Cart data**: When a customer adds items to their cart, the cart contents (products, quantities, values) and session ID are sent to track the cart.
