WooCommerce is a platform for online stores. When you install the WooCommerce app in BusinessChat, you can recover up to 15% of abandoned carts from customers who didn't complete their purchases.
Installing the WooCommerce App:
This guide will walk you through the process of installing and activating the official BusinessChat plugin for your WooCommerce store.
Before you begin, please ensure you meet the following prerequisites.
Prerequisites
Before we install the plugin, let's make sure your store is ready. Just follow these quick checks:
You're Starting Fresh: This should be the first time you're connecting this specific store to BusinessChat.
You Use WooCommerce: Your website must be built with WordPress and use WooCommerce to run your store.
A Quick Website Setting: We need to make sure your store’s links are set up correctly. In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Settings > Permalinks and select "Post Name".
Allow Customers to create Accounts: The app works best when your customers can create an account on your store. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy. Look for and tick these two boxes shown in the image below
