Supported Ecommerce Plugins:
- WooCommerce
Key Features:
- Automated abandoned cart tracking for WooCommerce
- Clean, detailed dashboard for abandonment statistics
- Easy API connection setup with Happilee platform
- Automatic trigger of recovery messages via WhatsApp
- Secure API authentication with encrypted storage
- Real-time cart data transmission
- WhatsApp template message support with dynamic parameter mapping (e.g. {{customer_name}}, {{cart_url}})

About Happilee:
Happilee is a Meta Business Partner providing WhatsApp chatbot services that help businesses automate customer communication, lead generation, and support through WhatsApp Business API.
How It Works:
- Install and activate the plugin
- Configure your Happilee API credentials in configuration tab
- Choose a WhatsApp message template from your Happilee account for cart recovery
- Map the template’s dynamic parameters to your WooCommerce cart data (like customer name, cart total, etc.)
- When a cart is abandoned, the plugin automatically syncs the data to Happilee and triggers the selected WhatsApp template message to recover the sale.
Important Note on Cart Tracking:
Currently, this plugin tracks abandoned carts for logged-in customers only (guest cart tracking via checkout forms will be added in a future update).
To ensure the plugin captures as many abandoned carts as possible, we strongly recommend allowing customers to create accounts easily.
Please navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy and enable the following options:
* Allow customers to create an account on the “My account” page
* Allow customers to create an account during checkout
External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services:
1. Happilee API (happilee.io)
This plugin communicates with the Happilee WhatsApp chatbot platform API to:
- Validate your API key and retrieve your project details — sent once when you save your API credentials.
- Fetch available WhatsApp templates — sent once when you configure your cart recovery settings.
- Send WhatsApp template messages — sent automatically when a cart is flagged as abandoned according to your settings, and only after the opt-in described below has been enabled.
Data sent to Happilee includes: your API key (for authentication), abandoned cart customer details (e.g., First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Cart URL), and — when order status notifications are enabled — order details (e.g., Order ID, Order Status, Order Total, Payment Method, Product Name, and the customer’s or shop owner’s phone number) mapped to your selected message template.
Data is transmitted to the following Happilee API endpoints:
* https://api.happilee.io/api/v1/getProjectDetails — API key validation
* https://api.happilee.io/api/v1/getTemplateMessages — fetching available WhatsApp templates
* https://api.happilee.io/api/v1/sendMessage — sending WhatsApp template messages for abandoned carts and order status notifications
This service is provided by Happilee (a Meta Business Partner):
* Website: https://happilee.io
* Terms of Service: https://happilee.io/terms-of-use/
* Privacy Policy: https://happilee.io/privacy-policy/
Explicit opt-in required: the API Configuration screen includes a “data sharing consent” checkbox, unchecked by default. No customer data is ever sent to sendMessage/createContact unless the store admin has explicitly checked this box (in addition to configuring a valid API key and a template for the feature being used). Fetching your own project details/templates during setup (the first two endpoints above) is a direct result of an admin action (entering/validating an API key) and only involves your own API key, not customer data.
Country code detection (no external service)
When a cart is abandoned and the customer has no billing country saved, the plugin determines the dialling prefix locally using WooCommerce’s built-in geolocation (CDN/server country headers such as Cloudflare’s CF-IPCountry, or the MaxMind GeoLite2 database if configured under WooCommerce > Settings > Integration), falling back to the store’s base country. The visitor’s IP address is not sent to any third-party service.

FAQ
-
What is Happilee?
-
Happilee is a Meta Business Partner that provides WhatsApp chatbot services for businesses to automate customer communication through WhatsApp Business API.
-
Does this require WooCommerce?
-
Yes, this plugin requires WooCommerce to be installed and activated on your WordPress site.
-
Do I need a Happilee account?
-
Yes, you need an active Happilee account and API key. Visit https://happilee.io to create an account.
-
Where do I find my Happilee API key?
-
Log in to your Happilee dashboard and navigate to Project Settings Integrations to find your API key.
-
Is the data transmission secure?
-
Yes, all data is transmitted securely via HTTPS. API keys are encrypted using AES-256-CBC encryption before being stored in the database.
-
What data is sent to Happilee?
-
The plugin sends selected WooCommerce cart and customer details such as First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Cart Total, and Cart Recovery URL. This data is used solely to populate the WhatsApp recovery message. Please note that a valid mobile number is required to send WhatsApp messages.
-
How do I verify the plugin is working?
-
After configuring your API key and choosing a template under Features Abandoned Cart, you can simulate an abandoned cart by logging into a customer account, adding items to your cart, and waiting for the abandonment timeout. You should see the automated message sent to the WhatsApp number associated with the account. Please note that abandoned cart recovery is only supported for registered and logged-in users (our plugin adds a required phone number field to the registration form), and is not available for guest users.
-
What are template parameters?
-
Template parameters are dynamic placeholders in your WhatsApp message template, written as {{param_name}}. For example, a cart recovery template might contain {{customer_name}} and {{recovery_link}}. The plugin lets you map each placeholder to specific WooCommerce cart data so the correct values are inserted when the message is sent.
-
Why am I not seeing all my WhatsApp templates in the dropdown?
-
After you add your Happilee API key, the plugin fetches your templates from your Happilee account. However, to keep the selection relevant, the template dropdowns will only display templates whose name starts with
wp_(for examplewp_abnd_cart_reminderorwp_order_update). Please ensure your cart recovery and order notification templates are named with this prefix in your Happilee dashboard. -
What are Order Status Notifications?
-
In addition to abandoned cart recovery, the plugin can send WhatsApp notifications to your shop owner and/or customer when an order reaches a status you choose: Order Received, Payment Completed, Order Completed, or Order Processing. Enable each recipient independently and pick a separate WhatsApp template for the shop owner and customer messages. Order notifications work on their own: you only need to set up templates for the features you enable, so no abandoned cart template is required. Note: if abandoned cart notifications are also enabled, the same customer may receive multiple notifications — disable one of them to avoid duplicates.
