Create a bridge between ThriveThemes optins & ThriveCart. Pre-fill your payment page with name and email address. Convert more sales.

== Description ==

**Cart Conversion Boost** helps you increase your checkout conversion rate by seamlessly passing customer name and email from your Thrive Themes (Thrive Architect & Thrive Leads) opt-in forms into your ThriveCart checkout pages *.

Take the customer details before they get to the shopping cart, so you can follow up, and convert more to completed sale, in case of cart abandonment. 

When a visitor signs up through your Thrive Themes opt-in form, this plugin ensures their **name and email address are automatically pre-filled** on the ThriveCart payment page — reducing friction and improving the user experience.

3. Customer enters their name and email in the pre-sale opt-in

### 🚀 Key Benefits ###

* Improve conversion rates
* Reduced cart abandonment
* Capture the lead before the payment page
* Pre-fill ThriveCart checkout fields automatically
* Reduce friction during checkout - Faster checkout experience
* Simple setup inside WordPress admin
* Lightweight and performance-friendly
* NoCode interface

A smoother checkout experience often leads to higher completion rates and better user experience.

### Why This Matters ###

Every extra step in a checkout process increases the chance that a customer abandons their purchase.

When customers must re-enter information they already provided, it introduces:

Friction
Delay
Drop-off risk

Cart Conversion Boost removes this friction by seamlessly connecting your Thrive Themes opt-in form and ThriveCart checkout flow.

### 🔗 How It Works ###

1. A user completes a ThriveThemes opt-in form which captures their name and email, and sends their details to your 3rd-party email provider,
2. The CartConversionBoost plugin securely passes the name and email into the correct format for ThriveCart
3. The user is redirected to your ThriveCart product checkout page
4. ThriveCart checkout fields are automatically pre-filled
5. Customer completes purchase faster

No complex setup, integrations or third-party connectors required.
