AI Flash Tune – Abandoned Cart Recovery & Funnel Analytics for WooCommerce

Changelog

1.0.4

• New: the AI Flash Tune logo at the top of the plugin’s menu, an AI Flash Tune icon in the WordPress menu, and the WordPress submenu in the same order as the plugin’s own (main pages, Pro, then Import, Settings, Licence, Help).
• New: Claude as an AI provider, with your own Anthropic API key (Claude Haiku 4.5 or Claude Sonnet 5), next to OpenAI and Zywrap.
• New: an “Already bought Pro?” box on the Licence page, with links to download Pro from your aiflashtune.com account and to WordPress’s plugin upload screen. The free plugin still installs nothing itself and contacts no licence server.
• New: “Ready for AI shopping” on the Leak Scan. It checks that AI assistants may read the store (robots.txt), which products lack what AI shopping answers need (description, image, price, brand, barcode, reviews), and whether returns and delivery are clear; it also shows visits and orders from AI assistants against everyone else.
• New: visits sent by AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Claude and others) are recognised, shown in each cart’s details, remembered on the order, and can be compared in Funnel (“AI assistants”).
• New: bots, scripts, headless browsers and AI fetchers are kept out of the funnel and the cart list, and counted.
• Fixed: visits from ChatGPT links (utm_source=chatgpt.com) were counted as paid ads.
• New: Funnel Compare (devices, guests and customers side by side) and the checkout Quick fixes (hide Company, make Phone optional, guest checkout, a reassurance line under Place order) are free, each with Undo.
• New: developer hooks for other ways to send reminders (aiflt_recovery_channels, aiflt_recovery_send_{channel}), the texts and coupon of one reminder (aiflt_recovery_email_step, aiflt_recovery_coupon) and added AI providers (aiflt_ai_providers).
• Changed: new name, “AI Flash Tune – Abandoned Cart Recovery & Funnel Analytics for WooCommerce”, because recovering carts is now the heart of the free plugin.
• New: opens and recovery rate. Carts and the dashboard show how many reminders were opened, how many shoppers came back to their cart and how many orders were won back, as numbers and as a share of the carts emailed.
• New: “Are emails going out?” on the Carts page: last and next check, emails due, sent and failed today, the last mail error, a Check now button, and the fix when WordPress’s scheduled tasks are switched off or not running.
• New: an email to the store owner when a reminder wins back an order (on by default; choose the address or turn it off).
• New: a never-remind list of emails, whole domains or IP addresses (use * for a range).
• New: reminders go out in the shopper’s language. The page language is saved with the checkout email, texts you did not change are sent in that language, and the default texts come in 23 languages (machine translated).
• New: a “Save my cart” box on the cart page and a “Save your cart?” popup when a desktop shopper is about to leave. The shopper gets the link to their cart at once and the reminders follow. Both are off until you turn them on.
• New: WhatsApp. When a shopper typed a phone number at checkout, their cart has a WhatsApp button that opens WhatsApp with your message and the cart link. “Can contact” now includes carts with only a phone number.
• New: dashboard fixes that measure themselves. Settings the plugin can change for you (the delivery cost on the cart page, guest checkout, a free-shipping note) have a “Do it” button with Undo, and 14 days later the dashboard shows the rate before and after.
• New: the weekly summary email includes reminders sent, opened, returned to the cart and won back.
• New: finished reminders older than the tracking retention (at least 90 days) are removed every day.
• Changed: carts older than 7 days, which reminders never pick up, now say “Too old to remind” instead of “Not reminded yet”.
• New: move from Cart Abandonment Recovery (CartFlows), Abandoned Cart Lite (Tyche) or FunnelKit Automations, on the new Import page. Their open carts from the last 30 days and all unsubscribed addresses come over; after the old plugin is deactivated, carts from the last 7 days carry on with the reminders they have left. Emails the old plugin sent are not counted as yours.
• Fixed: the Carts table could make the page wider than the screen on tablet-sized windows.
• Fixed: pages a shopper visited after giving an email or phone did not carry it, so the cart list could show a cart without its email.
• New: automatic cart reminders, free. Shoppers who typed their email and left get up to three emails (after 1 hour, 1 day and 3 days by default), each with a link that puts their cart back and opens checkout. Reminders stop when the shopper orders, and an order after a reminder counts as recovered revenue.
• New: optional one-time coupon in any reminder, only for that shopper, applied when they open their cart; unused coupons are cleaned up.
• New: reminder emails use your WooCommerce email design. Edit the subject, heading, text and timing of each email, preview it, or send yourself a test.
• New: an unsubscribe link and header in every reminder, a “No thanks” note under the checkout email field, and reminder data in WordPress’s personal data export and erase tools.
• New: the checkout email is saved as it is typed (not only when the field loses focus), on classic and block checkout; the first name is used to personalise reminders.
• New: Carts shows which carts can be contacted, each cart’s reminder status and history, and a link you can copy to put a cart back.
• New: Leak Scan is now a dashboard: revenue, orders, average order, conversion, money left in carts and money recovered, visits and orders per day, where shoppers stop, devices, and reminder results.
• Changed: the biggest-leak card lists what to change, and ticks off what is already done (free shipping, reminders, guest checkout, checkout length).
• Fixed: Leak Scan asked you to review carts that were left before checkout, which never have an email. It now points to the cart page itself.
• Fixed: advice text still named pages that were merged (“Checkout Optimizer”, “Cart Recovery”, “Funnel Analysis”).
• New: a simpler admin. Leak Scan opens with the biggest money leak and up to three things to do next; each task has one page (10 menu items instead of 18). Old page addresses still work and open the right page.
• New: every screen uses one design with built-in icons, and works on phones. The old stylesheet and the Font Awesome and date-picker libraries are no longer loaded.
• New: Licence has its own menu item, with a list of what Pro adds on each page.
• New: Products has status filters (Leaking, Weak, Good, Needs data) and sorting; each product page shows visits, add-to-cart, orders and conversion against the store average, with a plain-language hint about the weakest step.
• New: Change history (Reports › Client reports) lists every change AI Flash Tune made, with Undo.
• Fixed: the client report download and the weekly summary email showed 0 for every number. They now use the chosen period.
• Fixed: Products hid everything recorded before the plugin was last activated, “Needs data” filtered only the current page, and “Weak” also listed leaking products.
• Fixed: the privacy tools rejected the visit IDs the tracker writes, and “Export” put the file into the page instead of downloading it. Carts now show each visit ID.
• Fixed: the page clutter check downloaded the product page on every visit to the product screen. The result is now kept for 12 hours, with a Check again button.
• Fixed: an AI answer that contained a currency sign such as ₨ was split into a broken heading.
• Fixed: carts that were bought were listed as abandoned (and counted as lost money) until WooCommerce Analytics finished its background import, and forever when Analytics was turned off. Order status is now read from WooCommerce’s own order storage.
• Fixed: on block themes, submitted checkouts were never recorded, because the thank-you hook they relied on runs only on the classic thank-you page. Orders awaiting payment (for example bank transfers on hold) showed as abandoned carts.
• Fixed: the Products screen showed 0 sales when WooCommerce Analytics was off or had not caught up, and on stores that keep orders in HPOS tables. Sales now come from the same confirmed-sale records as the funnel.
• Fixed: a new order, refund or cancellation now shows in the funnel and Leak Scan at once, instead of after the five-minute report cache ran out.
• Fixed: “Left at checkout” showed the cart-to-checkout drop-off instead of the share of shoppers who opened checkout and did not buy.
• Fixed: with “Delete data on uninstall” on, deleting AI Flash Tune before AI Flash Tune Pro left Pro’s data behind.
• Changed: the plugin header declares its requirements (WooCommerce, WordPress 5.8, PHP 7.4), so WordPress enforces them.
• Changed: translation files are synced with the current strings; strings that belong to AI Flash Tune Pro moved to Pro’s own files.
• Fixed: the “lost sales” and abandoned-cart value were wrong on stores whose prices use a comma as decimal separator (for example 1.234,56 €). Cart snapshots now store the plain number; older snapshots are read with the store’s own separators.
• Fixed: on sites with full-page caching all visitors could share one session, and one shopper’s checkout email could be attached to another shopper’s cart. The session now comes only from the visitor’s own cookie; nothing visitor-specific is printed into the page.
• Fixed: sales confirmed later by a payment webhook or by an admin changing the order status were skipped (the admin’s own role is excluded from tracking) or not linked to the shopper’s visit. The shopper’s session is now stored on the order.
• Fixed: the “Restore previous copy” button on the Agency & Growth Toolkit did nothing.
• Fixed: the weekly summary email kept moving a week ahead on busy sites and used UTC instead of the site timezone.
• Security: tracking requests are rate-limited per IP address as well as per visitor, accept only known event types and this site’s own page URLs, and require a valid nonce or a same-site origin.
• Security: saved OpenAI and Zywrap keys are no longer printed back into the settings page.
• Privacy: new “Wait for visitor consent before tracking” setting with WP Consent API support; the privacy exporter and eraser now include guest shoppers; the suggested privacy-policy text lists everything that is stored; IPv6 addresses are redacted from AI payloads; the “aggregate data only” setting is now enforced for every AI request.
• Performance: database tables are no longer checked on every page load; the storefront loads a small tracking script instead of the whole admin script; funnel reports are cached for five minutes; large abandoned-cart lookups run in chunks.
• Changed: licensing, add-on installation and add-on updates moved out of this plugin into AI Flash Tune Pro. The free plugin no longer contacts any AI Flash Tune server.
• Changed: the monthly AI action limit is now an optional spending cap on your own key (0 = no limit) and no longer depends on a paid plan.
• Changed: admin pages now use prefixed slugs (for example page=aiflt-funnel instead of page=funnelanalysis) so they cannot collide with other plugins.
• Changed: rule-based insights no longer say “The AI has detected”; they describe what the numbers show.
• Removed: unused language downloader, duplicate font files and other dead code.
