Where Asteris Cart is different
- Urgency that actually expires server-side, releasing the WooCommerce stock hold at zero.
src/Checkout/Urgency_Timer.php::enforce_expiry() - An ad pixel that re-fires the purchase event on custom thank-you URLs — the common attribution break in WooCommerce checkout plugins.
src/Checkout/Pixel_Bridge.php - GDPR consent with an unbundled opt-in per Article 7(2) and salted, hashed IPs rather than raw addresses.
src/Checkout/Gdpr_Consent.php::hash_ip() - HPOS verified in CI — a build rule blocks legacy order-meta calls.
- One plugin, one bill — 22 modules consolidated.
What FunnelKit does better
- Automation depth. FunnelKit ships email and SMS automation, broadcasts and sequences. Asteris Cart does not build marketing automation — recovery sequencing is a later version, and even then it is checkout-scoped, not a full email suite.
- Funnel building. Like CartFlows, FunnelKit builds multi-step funnel pages. Asteris Cart defers a funnel canvas on purpose.
- A broader marketing toolchain. FunnelKit’s broadcast + sequence + funnel-page set covers ground Asteris Cart explicitly does not enter.
Who should choose which
- You want funnel pages plus email and SMS automation in one suite → FunnelKit.
- You want a consolidated cart and checkout, real-expiry urgency, attribution that survives custom URLs and Article 7 consent → Asteris Cart.
