Firstly, let us first understand the Webhooks. What are Webhooks? Let’s say you are at an ATM making a Withdrawal and after a successful withdrawal transaction, you receive an automated debit message.
Here Webhooks is the method used to deliver this automated message when you make this transaction.
So in simpler terms, Webhooks listens for an event and performs certain actions like sharing a coupon code with the abandoned users or notifying the users, etc.
How Webhooks work in Cart Abandonment Plugin?
Let’s start with enabling the Webhook under the WordPress Dashboard > WooCommerce > Cart Abandonment > Settings > Webhook Settings.
