Abandoned Orders Feature

We’ve added the Abandoned Orders feature to our PrestaShop plugin. What this means is that for any orders that your customers do not complete (Abandon) i.e. Customer gets onto the pay page and then decides to close the browser window thus leaving the transaction in an open status, we would automatically send a request to cancel the order and update the order with a closed status.

More information on the feature can be found here

Prerequisites

PrestaShop needs the following server configuration to run:

  • System: Unix, Linux or Windows.
  • Web Server: Apache Web Server 2.4 or any later version. (Although compatible, Apache Web Server 2.2 is not recommended since it reached its EOL in 2018).
  • PHP: We recommend PHP 8.1. See the compatibility chart below for more details. (Although compatible, PHP 7.2.5 to 8.0 are not recommended since they reached or will reach soon their end of support.)
  • MySQL: 5.6 minimum, a recent version is recommended.
  • Server RAM: The more the merrier. We recommend setting the memory allocation per script (memory_limit) to a minimum of 256M.

PrestaShop can also work with Nginx 1.0 or later.
