Introduction

The Abandoned Cart Saver plugin helps Shopware store owners recover potentially lost sales by tracking abandoned shopping carts and allowing easy order creation from them. When customers leave items in their carts without completing a purchase, the plugin logs those carts and makes them accessible in the admin area for follow-up or order generation.

This tool is useful for customer service teams and sales staff to reach out and finalize purchases that might otherwise be missed.

Get Started

Installation & Activation

Download

Git

Clone the Plugin Repository:
Open your terminal and run the following command in your Shopware 6 custom plugins directory (usually located at custom/plugins/):
```
git clone https://github.com/solution25com/abandoned-cart-saver-shopware-6-solution25.git
```

Install the Plugin in Shopware 6

Log in to your Shopware 6 Administration panel.
Navigate to Extensions > My Extensions.
Locate the newly cloned plugin and click Install.

Activate the Plugin

After installation, click Activate to enable the plugin.
In your Shopware Admin, go to Settings > System > Plugins.
Upload or install the “AdminOrders” plugin.
Once installed, toggle the plugin to activate it.

Verify Installation

After activation, you will see AdminOrders in the list of installed plugins.
The plugin name, version, and installation date should appear as shown in the screenshot below.

Plugin Configuration

After installing and activating the plugin, basic functionality works out of the box. However, you can configure how long the system waits before marking a cart as abandoned.

Configurable Timeout Navigate to Extensions > My Extensions > AdminOrders > Configure.

Set the timeout period (in seconds) after which a cart is considered abandoned.

Run Required Commands

To ensure the abandoned cart tracking works as expected, run the following commands from the root of your Shopware 6 project:

bin/console scheduled-task:register
bin/console scheduled-task:run
bin/console messenger:consume

After running the last command, press 1 and hit Enter when prompted. This updates the database with the latest execution times and ensures scheduled tasks run properly.

Troubleshooting
