We stand behind our products with comprehensive warranty coverage. Choose from our flexible warranty options during checkout.<\\\/p>
Warranty Cart is a complete WooCommerce warranty plugin. Sell extended warranties, protection plans and service contracts on the product page where your customer is already deciding \u2014 then manage the warranty claims, renewals and expiry reminders that follow, which is where most warranty plugins stop.<\/p>\n\n
No warranty management system to integrate, no per-gateway setup, and no monthly fee.<\/p>\n\n
Selling cover<\/strong>\n- Beside the product<\/strong>: offer a warranty on the product page, where the customer is already deciding. Choose which products each warranty covers \u2014 everything, chosen categories, or named products.\n- A page of its own<\/strong>: the After the sale<\/strong>\n- A warranties tab in My Account<\/strong>: every policy a customer owns, with its order, expiry and status \u2014 and a page per policy showing what it covers, the terms, what was paid, and every renewal it has been through.\n- Claims<\/strong>: customers file against active cover from their account; you work through them on a dedicated admin screen, and every status change emails them.\n- Renewals<\/strong>: a Renew button appears as cover approaches expiry, and for a configurable grace period afterwards. Renewing goes through the cart, so it is a real order and you get paid for it. Renewing early keeps the time already paid for rather than restarting the clock.\n- Renewal history<\/strong>: every extension recorded \u2014 when it happened, how far the term moved, what it cost and which order paid for it. Visible to you on the record, and to the customer on theirs.\n- Reminders and expiry notices<\/strong>: sent automatically, on a schedule you set.\n- PDF certificates<\/strong>: what is covered, the term, when cover begins and ends, and the coverage terms \u2014 issued in your shop's name, and attached to the confirmation email.<\/p>\n\n Running the shop<\/strong>\n- Admin dashboard<\/strong>: sales, orders and warranty totals, a twelve-month trend, and recent activity.\n- Warranty records<\/strong>: every policy sold, filterable by status, customer and product.\n- CSV import and export<\/strong>: set up a catalogue in bulk, and export any list \u2014 warranties, records, claims, orders, reports \u2014 as a spreadsheet that opens correctly, filters and all.\n- Plan images<\/strong>: give each warranty a picture from your media library, shown wherever the plan is offered.\n- Custom checkout fields<\/strong>: ask for whatever a warranty needs \u2014 a serial number, an install date.\n- HPOS compatible<\/strong>: works with WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage.<\/p>\n\n Requirements:<\/strong>\n- WordPress 6.0+\n- WooCommerce 8.0+\n- PHP 7.4+\n- MySQL 5.6+<\/p>\n\n Other free plugins from the same author, on WordPress.org.<\/p>\n\n For a WooCommerce store:<\/p>\n\n For any site:<\/p>\n\n For the WordPress AI Client:<\/p>\n\n They are listed under Warranty Cart -> Our plugins<\/strong> too, which reads the directory directly and shows which ones this site already has.<\/p>\n\n\n Admin Interface:<\/strong>\n- Dashboard<\/strong>: warranty sales, orders, a twelve-month trend and recent activity\n- Warranties<\/strong>: your warranty products, their terms, and which products each one covers\n- Records<\/strong>: every policy sold, filterable by status, customer and product\n- Claims<\/strong>: claims customers have filed, with status and your reply\n- Orders<\/strong>: warranty orders and customer details\n- Reports<\/strong>: sales performance over time\n- Settings<\/strong>: where cover is offered, claims, renewals, emails, checkout fields\n- Tools<\/strong>: CSV import, diagnostics and maintenance<\/p>\n\n\n Open the warranty product, go to the Warranty<\/strong> tab, and set Offer alongside<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n Under Warranty Cart \u2192 Settings \u2192 Storefront<\/strong> you can show the offer on the product page, in the cart, in both, or nowhere. Product page only is the default.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. On the warranty product, set Price<\/strong> to Percentage of the covered product<\/em> and enter the percentage \u2014 10%, say. Optional Minimum<\/strong> and Maximum<\/strong> keep it sensible at both ends: 10% of a \u00a340 kettle is not worth administering, and 10% of a \u00a35,000 television asks for more than anybody will pay.<\/p>\n\n A fixed price works for a catalogue where everything costs about the same, and breaks immediately where it does not \u2014 \u00a329 of cover is most of the value of a \u00a340 item and a rounding error on a \u00a32,000 one.<\/p>\n\n The price is worked out against the product being covered at the moment cover is added to the cart, and held there: if you reprice the product afterwards, a customer's existing cart keeps the figure they were quoted. Rounding follows your store's own currency settings.<\/p>\n\n On the Yes. Customers see their cover under My Account \u2192 Warranties<\/strong> and can file a claim against anything still active, describing what has gone wrong. Claims arrive on the Claims<\/strong> screen in the admin, where you move them through Pending, In progress, Approved, Rejected and Resolved \u2014 and the customer is emailed at every change, with whatever note you wrote.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. A Renew<\/strong> button appears on their account page as cover approaches expiry, and for a grace period afterwards; both windows are settings, 30 days each by default. The expiry reminder email links straight to it.<\/p>\n\n Renewing goes through the cart, so it produces a real order and you are paid for it. Renewing early adds the new term to the time already left rather than restarting the clock \u2014 a customer with two months remaining who renews for a year ends up with fourteen months, not twelve.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Naming a variable product under Offer alongside<\/strong> covers every one of its variations, so you set the rule once rather than per size or colour.<\/p><\/dd>\n The offer renders through WooCommerce's own template system and is styled in relative units, so it takes your theme's type scale rather than fighting it. Every template can be overridden from your theme in the usual way \u2014 copy it into Use the To scope which products show (category, custom meta, etc.) use the Whatever your store already takes. Warranty records are created when a WooCommerce order reaches Completed<\/strong>, so any gateway WooCommerce supports works \u2014 Stripe, PayPal, Square, Mollie, WooPayments, bank transfer, cash on delivery.<\/p>\n\n The plugin handles no payment itself and has no gateway-specific code. Warranty Cart \u2192 Settings \u2192 Payments<\/strong> lists every gateway on your store and what each one supports.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Warranties are created when an order is marked complete, which WooCommerce does whatever took the payment \u2014 card, PayPal, bank transfer, cash on delivery. Settings \u2192 Payments lists every gateway on your store and what each one supports.<\/p><\/dd>\n After installation, click the top-level Warranty Cart<\/strong> menu in your WordPress admin sidebar (shield icon). This provides access to all warranty management features: dashboard, warranty product catalog, warranty records, orders, reports, settings, and tools.<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin automatically generates PDF certificates for purchased warranties using DomPDF. They are attached to the order completion email and can be re-downloaded from Warranty Cart \u2192 Orders<\/strong>. PDFs are stored under When a WooCommerce order containing one or more warranty products reaches the Completed<\/strong> status. That is a WooCommerce core event, so it fires whatever took the payment. Each warranty product in the order produces a row in Two daily WP-Cron events handle the lifecycle:<\/p>\n\n If your host disables WP-Cron, set up a real system cron job (every 5\u201315 minutes hitting Go to Warranty Cart \u2192 Tools<\/strong>, download the sample CSV, fill it in, and upload via the Import CSV<\/strong> card. Each row creates a WooCommerce product with the Warranty tab pre-filled.<\/p><\/dd>\n Common fixes:<\/p>\n\n[warranty_cart]<\/code> shortcode, in a grid or a list, for stores that would rather sell cover separately.\n- Bundles<\/strong>: a main warranty with optional add-on services, priced together as the customer chooses.\n- Fixed or percentage pricing<\/strong>: charge a flat fee, or a percentage of whatever the warranty covers \u2014 with a floor and ceiling so a percentage of a very cheap or very expensive item stays sensible.\n- Any payment gateway<\/strong>: warranties are created when an order completes, which WooCommerce does whatever took the payment \u2014 card, PayPal, bank transfer, cash on delivery.<\/p>\n\nMore from us<\/h3>\n\n
