About this plugin
Connect your store to PuffinMail in one step. The plugin keeps your customers, orders and carts in sync so you can:
- Grow your list with a consent checkbox at checkout and in My Account (works with the block checkout).
- Win back abandoned carts with two timed reminders, a one-click link that restores the cart, and an optional single-use coupon.
- Send birthday emails with a unique coupon.
- Segment by orders, total spent and last order date.
- Keep unsubscribes in sync both ways.
Syncing happens in the background, so it never slows down your shop, and nothing is lost if PuffinMail is briefly unreachable.

Sent when they are created or change. Existing customers and orders are sent only when you start a history sync (the last 12 months, 3 years or everything).
- Orders: items, totals, status changes and refunds, when they happen.

PuffinMail sends signed requests back to your store (to /wp-json/puffinmail/v1/webhook) when someone unsubscribes, so your store stays in sync.
