The \"Generate Random Orders for WooCommerce\" plugin allows store owners to generate random orders quickly, making it a valuable tool for testing and data population. You can set the number of orders to generate.<\/p>\n\n

Once you generate the orders, you can easily view them in the WooCommerce admin panel. This plugin can save you a significant amount of time when testing your store's ordering and payment processes or when populating your database with random data.<\/p>\n\n

How it works?<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin runs a script to generate random orders and related data in this site's WooCommerce database. You can specify how many orders you want to generate.<\/p>\n\n

Order dates are set as follows:\n- Order #1: midnight today\n- Order #2: midnight yesterday\n- Order #3: midnight one week ago\n- Order #4: midnight 30 days ago\n- Order #5+: random date and time between now and 365 days ago, with ~50% of orders between now and 30 days ago<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Order billing name and shipping name are each randomly selected from two possible names.<\/li>\n
  2. >Order billing phone and shipping phone are randomly generated 10-digit numbers.<\/li>\n
  3. Order user ID is either 1 or 2. The JSON assumes that the nickname of user 1 is user1, and the nickname of user 2 is user2 (this doesn't matter if the JSON is not being used.<\/li>\n
  4. Order billing address and shipping address are the same, randomly selected from two possible addresses, one Canadian and one US.<\/li>\n
  5. Order billing email is exampleN<\/em>@example.com, where N<\/em> is a random number from 1 to 3.<\/li>\n
  6. Each order has (randomly) 1 to 5 product items. The WooCommerce store must have both variable and simple products. Products are selected at random with a ~33% bias toward variable products and ~67% bias toward simple products. Each item has a random quantity between 1 and 5 (whole number).<\/li>\n
  7. ~25% of orders are assigned local pickup. ~75% of orders are assigned flat rate shipping. The shipping in the WooCommerce store must be set up with flat rate having instance ID 1 and local pickup having instance ID 2. Shipping amount is a random whole number between 5 and 20.<\/li>\n
  8. ~33% of orders have coupon code 50OFF added. This coupon code must be configured in WooCommerce.<\/li>\n
  9. Orders are randomly assigned statuses with the following approximate distribution: 14% pending, 29% processing, 57% completed. Some orders may have their status automatically changed to refunded due to the line item refund, if the refund results in the entire order being refunded.<\/li>\n
  10. ~50% of orders have a custom meta field wpz_custom_meta_1, and ~50% of orders have a custom meta field wpz_custom_meta_2. The value of either field is a random 3 digit number.<\/li>\n
  11. The JSON assumes that two taxes are set up: tax ID 1 is GST, tax ID 2 is PST. This doesn't matter if the JSON is not being used.<\/li>\n
  12. ~20% orders have line item refunds. Each refund has one product item, and the quantity refunded is 1; refund amounts correspond to quantity pro-rated line total and taxes. A corresponding amount of shipping is refunded (ignoring other items that may be on the order). Refunds are dated between 1 and 14 days from the order date, but not past the current time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
