CRMlytics – CRM & Customer Analytics

SOS

Is CRMlytics really free?

Yes. Free plugin on the official WordPress directory. No subscription, no usage fees, no data sent outside your server.

Does it work with my WooCommerce setup?

Works with any WooCommerce store on WordPress 6.0 or later. Reads your existing order data directly.

Where does the prediction data come from?

All predictions are built from your own WooCommerce order history and run locally on your server. No API keys, no third-party accounts, no data leaves your site.

How long does it take to see results?

Install and activate. Within minutes, CRMlytics has processed your existing order history and you can already see which customers are at risk of churning, who your most valuable repeat buyers are, and where to focus your retention efforts first.

What is RFM segmentation?

RFM stands for Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value. CRMlytics uses these three signals to automatically sort customers into groups: Champions, At Risk, and Lost.

Does this need WooCommerce?

Yes. It relies entirely on WooCommerce order data.

Does my customer data get sent to your servers?

No. The machine learning runs locally on your own server. We never send your data to an external API or third-party service. Your data is yours.

Will this mess with my WooCommerce data?

No. It securely reads your orders in the background to build its own timelines and predictions. Your actual live store data is untouched.

Can I build custom segments?

Yes. You can stack different rules to filter your customers however you need to.

What’s the difference between a segment and a smart tag?

A segment is a live filter you run when you need to look at a specific group right now. A smart tag is an automatic label the system applies to a customer and keeps updated over time as their behavior changes.

Can I email a specific segment?

Yes. You can target your whole list, specific segments, or just people with a certain tag, directly from the plugin.

What makes CRMlytics different from other WooCommerce CRMs?

Other WooCommerce CRMs (FluentCRM, FunnelKit, Groundhogg) are operational CRMs built around marketing automation, email sequences, and workflow builders. CRMlytics is an analytical CRM. It runs machine learning models directly on your store data to predict churn risk and forecast future orders. That means instead of just automating what you send, you know who to send it to and when, so your campaigns actually improve retention and drive more repeat sales.

Is CRMlytics a marketing automation tool?

No. CRMlytics is an analytical CRM focused on customer intelligence and predictive analytics. If you need marketing automation workflows or abandoned cart recovery, tools like FluentCRM or FunnelKit handle that well. CRMlytics tells you who to target and when, based on statistical predictions, so you can feed those insights into your existing automation tools.

What does „analytical CRM“ mean?

CRMs fall into different categories. Operational CRMs automate day-to-day tasks like sending emails and managing sales pipelines. Analytical CRMs analyze your data to generate insights and predictions. CRMlytics is the latter. It calculates health scores, churn probabilities, RFM segments, and expected future orders from your WooCommerce data, all running locally on your server.

How accurate are the predictions?

CRMlytics uses the BG/NBD (Beta Geometric/Negative Binomial Distribution) model, a well-established statistical framework for repeat purchase forecasting. The model learns from your entire store’s order history, then applies that to each customer’s individual buying pattern. It is not guesswork or static rules like „hasn’t bought in 90 days.“ That means the churn scores and order forecasts you act on are grounded in how your actual customers buy, reliable enough to make real retention and revenue decisions with.

Can I use CRMlytics alongside FluentCRM or FunnelKit?

Yes. CRMlytics focuses on prediction and segmentation. Feed its health scores, churn risk labels, and smart tags into your operational CRM or email tool to build sharper targeting rules and get better retention results from the automation you already have running. The two complement each other rather than compete.

Will this slow down my store?

No. CRMlytics has been tested on stores with over 200,000 orders and 15,000 customers without issues. It runs in the background and does not affect your storefront or checkout.

Are there any premium add-ons or a Pro version?

Currently, CRMlytics is completely free. We may introduce advanced features in the future, but the core analytical engine will remain free.

Is there a limit to how many customers or orders it can process?

No hard limits. It depends entirely on your server capabilities. It has been tested on stores with over 200,000 orders.

Does it work with historical data, or only new orders?

It works with historical data. As soon as you install and activate the plugin, it begins analyzing your entire WooCommerce order history to build predictions immediately.

Does it work with custom order statuses?

CRMlytics focuses on standard WooCommerce completed orders to calculate RFM and churn metrics, ensuring accuracy in predictive models.

Does it integrate with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign?

You can easily export any segment to a CSV file, which can be uploaded directly to almost any email marketing platform.

Where can I get support if I need help?

You can reach out on the official WordPress.org support forums for the CRMlytics plugin.

How does email sending work?

CRMlytics uses WordPress’s built-in wp_mail() to send emails. It works with whatever mail setup you already have, including any SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP or Postmark.

How does the health score work?

Each customer gets a score from 0 to 100. For repeat buyers, it’s the BG/NBD model’s probability that the customer is still active, scaled to 100. Below 40 is critical territory. New customers who’ve only ordered once start around 80 and drop over time if they don’t come back.

Does it need a minimum number of orders to work?

No minimum. It runs on whatever data you have. Predictions get more accurate as your order history grows, but the plugin doesn’t refuse to calculate on small datasets. On stores with very few orders, treat the scores as rough estimates.

Does it work with WooCommerce Subscriptions?

CRMlytics reads standard WooCommerce orders, so renewal orders from WooCommerce Subscriptions are counted alongside regular purchases. Active subscribers will naturally show high health scores and low churn risk, which accurately reflects their buying behavior. Keep in mind that CRMlytics is built with retail ecommerce stores in mind, where customers make individual purchase decisions rather than recurring payments.
