OCart v1.0.0-alpha

What OCart does

OCart sits on top of WooCommerce. It replaces the default checkout with configurable funnel layouts, layers order bumps and post-purchase upsells on top, recovers abandoned carts through email and SMS sequences, and ships native A/B testing for every surface.

Getting installed

First funnel in 5 minutes

From fresh activation to a live two-step checkout with one bump and one post-purchase upsell.

Plugin architecture

12 database tables

All prefixed with {prefix}ocart_. Created on activation through dbDelta. Hot queries are indexed: find active funnel for cart, find pending recovery runs, look up idempotency keys for in-flight charges.

Admin interface

Top-level menu OCart with eleven submenus. Built with wp-element (React) and wp-api-fetch for first-party WordPress feel.

Settings reference

All settings stored in wp_options under key ocart_settings as a single nested array. Access via OCart_Settings::get('group.key').

Checkout layouts

Drop-in replacement for the Woo checkout. Three layouts ship in alpha (one_step, two_step, three_step) and the layout is a per-funnel setting, not a per-site setting.

[ocart_checkout funnel="holiday-2026"]
// or pick the layout explicitly
[ocart_checkout funnel="holiday-2026" layout="two_step"]

Order bumps

Add-on offers shown on the checkout page itself. Position is configurable (above payment, in shipping, in summary) and targeting rules accept cart total, product-in-cart, and category-in-cart predicates.

Post-purchase upsells

After the parent order is captured, OCart issues a one-click upsell. If accepted, an idempotent charge fires against the saved gateway token. The idempotency_key column on ocart_offer_events is UNIQUE; replays of the same key never double-bill.

Cart recovery

Sequences fire when carts hit the abandoned threshold. Email and SMS channels with full delivery tracking, suppression list, and DKIM / SPF deliverability checks built in.

{
  "channel":   "email",      // email | sms
  "delay_min": 30,           // minutes after trigger
  "template":  "cart_nudge_1",
  "discount":  10,           // optional, percent
  "ab_test":   123           // optional, bind to test id
}

Native A/B testing

Tests bind to any surface (checkout / bump / upsell / recovery_email / recovery_sms). Three methods: frequentist (z-test), Bayesian (Beta-Binomial posterior), or multi-armed bandit (Thompson sampling).

WooCommerce integration hooks

OCart is a WooCommerce-first plugin. The bootstrap guards on WooCommerce being loaded; if missing, OCart self-disables with an admin notice.

HPOS + blocks

High-Performance Order Storage and the cart-checkout blocks are both declared compatible via WooCommerce's FeaturesUtil. OCart writes to wp_wc_orders through Woo's data store layer, never raw SQL on order tables.

add_action('before_woocommerce_init', function () {
    if (class_exists(\Automattic\WooCommerce\Utilities\FeaturesUtil::class)) {
        \Automattic\WooCommerce\Utilities\FeaturesUtil::declare_compatibility(
            'custom_order_tables', __FILE__, true
        );
        \Automattic\WooCommerce\Utilities\FeaturesUtil::declare_compatibility(
            'cart_checkout_blocks', __FILE__, true
        );
    }
});

Gateways & idempotency

Stripe and PayPal in alpha. The gateway adapter exposes capture_with_token($order, $amount, $idempotency_key). The UNIQUE column on ocart_offer_events.idempotency_key enforces replay safety at the database layer.

Shortcodes

[ocart_checkout funnel="holiday-2026"]
[ocart_checkout funnel="holiday-2026" layout="two_step"]

[ocart_cart_count]

[ocart_cart_icon]

REST API

All routes namespaced under ocart/v1. The OpenAPI spec is served at /wp-json/ocart/v1/openapi.

Developer hooks

OCart routes every event through OCart_Events::dispatch(), which mirrors to do_action. Hook with the standard add_action; payload reaches you regardless of whether the dispatcher or the WP action wakes first.

Helper functions

A small global surface for the most-used reads and writes. Everything else is on the namespaced OCart\\ classes.

WP-CLI

Eight namespaced commands. Useful in CI, deploys, and for quick spot checks during incident response.

wp ocart cart list --status=abandoned --since=24h
wp ocart test 7 results
wp ocart recovery dispatch --dry-run
wp ocart migration import --from=cartflows

Capabilities

Five area capabilities so OCart areas can be split between roles. Granted to administrator on activation. Other roles inherit nothing.

Suite integration

First-party bridges to the rest of the Orravo suite. Each bridge auto-detects the partner plugin; if missing, it stays inert.

Comparison

CartFlows, FunnelKit, and the WooCommerce add-on stack each cover a slice of OCart's scope. OCart is the whole funnel and recovery layer in one install.

Plans & pricing

One-time alpha pricing locks in lifetime updates through the v1.0 stable release and every release after.
