CheckoutGuard
CheckoutGuard is a WooCommerce plugin that helps store owners recover lost sales by tracking incomplete checkouts and providing tools for follow-up. It also includes fraud prevention, courier analytics, and an automatic success-ratio blocker to protect your store from high-risk orders. Checkout records and customer data are stored locally in your WordPress database. Limited site, administrator, environment, license, and plugin-usage telemetry is sent to CheckoutGuard Headquarters for licensing, usage limits, settings synchronization, and plugin analytics. Appsero diagnostic tracking is separate and is sent only after an administrator opts in. Customer checkout records are not sent to our licensing service; courier phone-number lookups are sent to the selected courier provider only when Courier Analytics is used. Incomplete Checkout Tracking CheckoutGuard captures customer information and cart contents in real-time as shoppers fill in the checkout form, even if they never click “Place Order”. Data is collected via debounced AJAX calls (800ms delay) to avoid excessive requests. Tracked fields include: Billing name, email, phone, and full address Order comments Cart items (product name, quantity, line total) and cart total Customer IP address and WooCommerce session ID Once captured, each incomplete checkout appears in the Incomplete Checkouts list where you can: View full details in a modal popup (customer info, cart items, timestamps) Recover the checkout by creating a real WooCommerce order with one click Mark as Hold for future follow-up, with an optional follow-up date (YYYY-MM-DD) Mark as Cancelled if the checkout is no longer relevant Re-open a cancelled checkout back to incomplete status Edit follow-up dates on held checkouts Completed orders are automatically cleaned up: when a customer finishes checkout, their incomplete record is deleted. Dashboard Overview The main dashboard gives you a bird’s-eye view of your checkout performance with: Pie chart showing the distribution of incomplete, recovered, hold, and cancelled checkouts Count cards for each status with clickable links to the detail pages Value cards showing the total monetary value for incomplete, recovered, hold, and cancelled checkouts Date range filters: Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, or a custom date range picker WordPress Dashboard Widget – a compact summary widget on the main WP dashboard showing the same stats and chart Fraud Blocker Prevent unwanted orders by maintaining blocklists for: IP Addresses – block by customer IP Email Addresses – block by billing email Phone Numbers – block by billing phone When a blocked customer attempts to checkout, WooCommerce displays an error message and the order is not processed. Each blocklist supports: Adding items with an optional reason Searching/filtering the list Deleting items Custom block message (configurable in Settings) You can also block or unblock directly from a WooCommerce order page using the “Fraud Blocker Actions” meta box in the order sidebar, which shows the customer’s IP, email, and phone with one-click Block/Unblock buttons. Success Ratio Blocker (Automatic) This feature automatically blocks checkout attempts from customers with a poor delivery success history. It works by: Checking the customer’s phone number against courier delivery data during checkout If their success ratio falls at or below the configured threshold, the order is blocked The blocked attempt is logged with full details (cart, ratio, threshold, IP) Configurable settings: Block Threshold (%) – orders are blocked if the success ratio is at or below this value (default: 20%) Grace Period – new customers are not blocked until they have more than this many total orders (default: 5) Custom Blocked Order Notice – the message shown to the customer, supports {ratio} placeholder All blocked attempts are logged in the Blocked Orders Log page where you can view details and delete log entries. Courier Analytics Check the delivery success and return ratio for any customer phone number across different courier services (Pathao, RedX, Steadfast, Paperfly, Carrybee). This feature provides: Standalone Courier Analytics page – enter a phone number and get a full breakdown WooCommerce Order List column – “Success Ratio” column added to the orders table showing a compact ratio badge per order Order Detail meta box – “Customer Success Ratio” sidebar box on individual order pages with a “Check Full Ratio” button Live ratio check on checkout – real-time feedback shown below the phone field as the customer types (triggers after 10+ digits) Doughnut chart visualization for the overall success rate Per-courier breakdown by courier service Ratio data is cached on each order via post meta to avoid redundant API calls.
