Woo Benchmark Email Plugin

Feature: Connect to Benchmark Email ReST API

• Separate from optional Benchmark Email Lite plugin, this setting connects to one API key for WooCommerce specific communications.
• Settings located in WP Admin > WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Benchmark Email

Feature: Customer carts to Woo Abandoned Carts list

• Any time somebody clicks to go to the checkout page their email address, name, and cart details get sent to the Woo Abandoned Carts contact list.
• They may be logged in and this field might be pre-populated, still works.
• They may be making a purchase as a Guest and the field gets caught as typed.
• They may be authenticated yet not have Woo history, so they type the email in.
• There is a 2 second delay to ensure they are done typing the email before it sends.
• The email is validates as a properly formatted email before it gets sent to Benchmark.
• Use Automation Pro to manage the templates, timing of emails, and eventual deletion from list since subscription to this list is for short-term usage only.
• A URL and order data are included, so Automation Pro can manage the workflow.
• Benchmark is to provide the prebuilt Automation Pro template for our users.

Feature: Customer orders to Woo Customers list

• Also gets them removed from the Woo Abandoned Carts contact list since they have purchased.
• They get added to the Woo Customers list only if they select the checkbox.
• They get added to the Woo Customers list if there is no checkbox to select (if label disabled in settings).

Feature: Sync all order history to Woo Customers list

• Copies all historic orders, whether Guest or Registered customers to Woo Customers list.
• Uses AJAX to prevent timeouts, but may run for some time on larger stores.
