Let’s deal with unpaid orders once and for all

With ShopMagic, you will have a properly managed store. You won’t forget about any customer order. Moreover, none of the orders will be left unpaid.

With correctly set ShopMagic’s automation, you won’t have to check every order one by one. Simply, create marketing automation for every possible event and let ShopMagic do the hard work for you.

Send WooCommerce payment reminders in 5 Steps

I assume you are ready to create an automation, i.e. ShopMagic and its add-ons are installed and activated in your store.

This placeholder is a payment reminder for your customers. Super important and another feature in ShopMagic’s arsenal that will increase the conversion rate for your WooCommerce store.

How does it work? Create automation for Order Pending event and add {{ order.payment_url }} placeholder to the message field. When the user receives the email, there’ll be a link to complete the payment. It will redirect the user to the /checkout/order-pay/ website in your store.

Bear in mind, that payment reminder works for orders with pending payment status only.

If you need any help, here are two useful links from our documentation ⤵️:

• Getting started
• Installing and activating premium add-ons

1️⃣ Select an event

In ShopMagic’s menu, click on Automations and then Create Automation. You will see a new window, similar to this:

As you can see, there’s a title “WooCommerce payment reminder” and selected event – Order Pending. Rechecking the order status before running the whole automation is also selected. We want to avoid sending payment reminders to customers who have already paid for their orders, right😋?

2️⃣ Assigning a filter

Now let’s assign the right filter. Although not every automation requires a filter. However, you can use this option whenever you want. Sometimes, you want to create automation for the same order status but different products (or a group of products). In this case, simply assign a proper filter and ShopMagic will do its job.

3️⃣ Creating an action for WooCommerce payment reminder

Action is the third step in ShopMagic’s automation. If you are curious how it will look like when we finish, take a look at the screenshot below:

👉🏼 Starting from the top, select the type of Action. As you can see, I decided to select Send Email. However, it’s not the only option.

👉🏼 Then, there’s the description. You can describe your action as you want, however, I always encourage you to use an easy-to-distinguish name, like WooCommerce payment reminder for your custom emails.

👉🏼 Next, we have the Enable Delay checkbox. Here you can set a time delay. In my example, it’s 3 hours. With the Delayed Actions add-on, you can set any number of minutes, hours, days, or weeks.

👉🏼 The following fields are To, Subject, and Heading. To is pre-filled with placeholder {{ customer.email }}. In most cases, the best option is to leave it as it is. In such a configuration, ShopMagic will dynamically assign customer data to this field.

👉🏼 Subject and Heading are also placeholder-friendly fields, so feel free to use them.

👉🏼 Another field is Template. Select from WooCommerce Template or none.

4️⃣ Send emails with a payment link in WooCommerce

👉🏼 The Message is an essential, if not crucial, field. Here you should write your message to the customer.

Write the content of your choice, but remember about the placeholder {{ order.payment_url }}.

This placeholder is crucial to properly remind your WooCommerce customers about their unpaid orders and send the payment link in the email.

➡️ If a customer receives an email from this automation and clicks on a link generated by this placeholder, they will be automatically redirected to the /checkout/order-pay/ website in your store:

👉🏼 Lastly, there’s an unsubscribe link. Select it, if you want to add it to your WooCommerce payment reminder email.

5️⃣ Save the automation – WooCommerce payment reminder is ready!

Finally, save your new automation.

WooCommerce will send your custom emails with the payment reminder link for the event, filter, and with the delay, you’ve chosen.

Of course, you can test the email delivery too.
