Order Daemon runs in the background of your WooCommerce store, applying automation rules to every order and recording every event to a searchable log. You build the rules. The daemon handles them — and shows you exactly what it did.
Three things it does well
01 · Automate
Build automation rules using a visual WHEN / IF / THEN builder. No code. Each rule has a trigger (the WooCommerce event that starts evaluation), conditions (the filters that narrow the match), and an action (what executes when all conditions pass). Rules run automatically. There is no limit on how many you can create.
Common rules stores use on day one:
- Complete virtual and downloadable orders immediately after payment
- Auto-complete orders when every item in the cart is digital
- Complete orders above a threshold amount for verified customers
- Flag orders stuck in Processing for manual review
02 · Observe
Every order event flows into the Insight Dashboard — a live, searchable log stream. Rule executions, status changes, checkout failures, payment events. Every event WooCommerce emits is captured, timestamped, and retained for 30 days.
Click any row to open the full event timeline for that order: every event on a single spine with time deltas, color-coded by severity, with raw event data one click away. Most WooCommerce stores have no visibility into what is actually happening to their orders. Order Daemon gives you a flight recorder.
03 · Diagnose
Checkout failures are logged the moment they occur — before any customer complains. The log stream surfaces payment hiccups, rule conditions that did not match, and orders that stopped moving. You see it first.

Uninstallation
All data (rules, event log, settings) is preserved when you deactivate or delete the plugin — nothing is dropped automatically. To permanently remove all plugin data before uninstalling, add this to wp-config.php:

Then uninstall normally. All tables and options will be removed.

FAQ
-
Does this work with physical / shippable products?
-
Yes. The conditions system lets you target any product type, category, or order total, so you can scope rules precisely. Most stores use Order Daemon for virtual and downloadable products, but it works with any order type.
-
Does it work with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?
-
Yes. Order Daemon declares HPOS compatibility and uses WooCommerce’s order abstraction layer throughout.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
No. Automation rules run during WooCommerce order lifecycle hooks only, not on the front end. The event log uses optimised queries. There is no impact on page load time.
-
Does it work with all payment gateways?
-
Yes, as long as the gateway transitions orders through standard WooCommerce statuses. The plugin monitors order status changes, not payment gateway internals directly.
-
Is the event log stored locally?
-
Yes. All event data is stored in your WordPress database. Nothing is transmitted to external servers. See the External Services section for details about inbound webhook processing.
-
What happens to my data if I uninstall?
-
Your data is preserved unless you explicitly set
ODCM_REMOVE_ALL_DATAin wp-config.php before uninstalling. See the Uninstallation section above. -
Can developers extend the plugin?
-
Yes. The plugin exposes actions and filters for customisation. See the documentation for the full hook reference.
-
What is the difference between the free version and Pro?
-
The free version includes unlimited rules, the full Insight Dashboard, and the core set of triggers, conditions, and actions. Pro adds more rule components, rule testing, webhook connections, WP-CLI, extended log retention, and priority support.
