About Ordelist
From the official readme · v1.0.79Description
Order List Enhancer adds the order insights you actually need to the WooCommerce admin – right where you manage orders, without opening each one.
Spot returning customers and accidental duplicates.
As you browse the orders list, orders that belong to the same customer (matched by phone, by name, or by both) are outlined in a shared color and marked with a badge. Matching looks across every order status, so a repeat customer is recognised even if their previous order is still processing or was never completed. Click the badge – on the list or from inside an order – to open a popup with that customer’s history: each order links to itself and shows its date, items, total and status, plus a quick summary (first order date and how often they buy). Orders placed within a few days of each other, or several still in processing, are flagged in red as likely duplicates, so you can catch double orders before you ship them.
Color your delivery column.
Define simple “keyword → color” rules (for example your couriers, or pickup vs. delivery to address) and the “Ship to” cell in the list – and the address block on the order screen – is colored automatically, so you can scan deliveries at a glance.
Work faster inside an order.
Show the order total next to the billing address, copy the customer’s name, phone or total to the clipboard with one click, and tidy phone numbers for display (leading 00 → +, add the country code when it is missing) – all without ever changing what is stored in the database.
Convert order “extras” into real products.
If you sell add-ons through Product Add-Ons or Checkout Add-Ons, map each extra to a product and Order List Enhancer turns it into a real line item the moment the order is created – priced at exactly what the customer paid (the order total never changes), counted in stock, with an admin-only note showing which extra it came from (never printed on invoices). No more moving an order to an editable status and rebuilding it by hand. Off by default.
Pick a default bulk action.
Choose which entry is pre-selected in the orders-list bulk-actions menu; the list of choices fills itself from your own orders screen.
Flag high-value orders.
Set order-total thresholds, each with its own color. When an order’s total reaches a threshold, its row in the list – and its address panel on the order screen – gets a colored ring, so big orders stand out at a glance. The ring is independent of the shipping color (both show at once), and when several thresholds apply the highest one wins. Off by default.
Validate phone numbers at checkout.
Turn on checkout phone validation and customers get instant, clear feedback on whether their Bulgarian number is valid – and why – as they type, backed by server-side enforcement you can set to warn (let the order through but flag it) or block (stop it until fixed). Orders with an unusable number are flagged on the order screen and with a badge in the list, so you catch them before you ship. Off by default.
Open many orders without crashing your shop.
Tick the orders you want to review and click “Open selected” – each one opens in its own tab, one every few seconds (you set the interval), so only a single order ever loads at a time. A Stop button and a live “3 / 12” counter keep you in control. Handy when opening many orders at once would overwhelm the server. (Your browser must allow pop-ups for the admin site.)
Stop accidental double orders at checkout.
Optionally guard the checkout against a customer placing the same order twice: if an identical recent order (same phone and cart) is detected within a short window, the plugin either asks the customer to confirm in a popup or blocks the duplicate outright – your choice. Off by default.
Explain the delivery date at checkout.
If your checkout has a delivery-date field, show a clear, highlighted note above it (for example, that the date is when the order ships, not when it arrives), plus an optional “we’re away until…” vacation banner that hides itself once the date passes. Fully editable text. Off by default.
Never run out of stickers or printed instructions.
Track the printed consumables you pack with each order: give every product a sticker stock and group products under shared “instruction sheets.” As orders come in, stock is drawn down automatically – and restored if an order is cancelled or refunded – with per-type low thresholds that warn you on a dedicated stock page, an admin banner, an orders-list badge and an email when it is time to print more. Off by default.
See order comments without opening the order.
Optionally show the customer’s checkout note and the most recent internal admin note right under the order number in the orders list, so special instructions are never missed. Long notes truncate to a couple of lines – hover or click to read the rest. Off by default.
Built to fit in.
Every feature has its own on/off switch on a tabbed settings page that saves instantly, with no page reload, a color picker for every color, and a Settings link right on the Plugins screen. Everything runs in the admin only, for users who can edit orders – no external services and no tracking. Compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) and sequential order numbers, and fully translatable (English and Bulgarian included).
Installation
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/ordelist/or install it via the Plugins screen. - Activate it.
- Configure it under WooCommerce → Order List Enhancer.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with HPOS?
Yes. It declares compatibility with custom order tables and queries them directly; it also falls back to the legacy orders screen.
Does duplicate detection only look at the current status tab?
No. It scans recent orders across all statuses (except trash and drafts), so returning customers are detected even when an earlier order is unfinished.
Does it send data anywhere?
No. It only reads orders in your admin and renders the UI locally.
Changelog
1.0.79
- New setting: fold the orders-list search box and filter row behind one toggle. Every plugin that ships an orders filter adds it to the same line, so on a busy shop that line wraps over half the screen above every list. The fold opens by itself when a search or a filter is actually in use – paging, sorting and the status tabs do not count – and remembers whether you left it open. Off by default.
1.0.78
- Repeat-customer and phone badges are placed correctly again. The orders list prints its order-number column as a row header (), so a lookup that only accepted a missed it and the badge fell back into the checkbox cell, where it overlapped the customer name. Badges now sit on their own line under the order number – two badges share that line instead of stacking – and order notes, which relied on the same lookup, reach the order-number cell again.
1.0.77
- Extras: a product whose variation already contains a second product (a “combo”) can now be mapped to the base product plus its components. At order creation the sold line becomes the base product and each component is added as its own line, so stock and cost are counted per product. The line price is divided in proportion to the catalogue prices, so the order total never changes, and the order screen shows what the line was and what it became. An order action re-runs the conversion on orders placed earlier.
1.0.76
- Bulk-action labels captured from other plugins are stripped of 4-byte characters before caching, so one emoji in someone else’s label cannot stop the cache from being stored on an older database.
1.0.75
- The default checkout notice texts no longer carry decorative emoji. They were cosmetic only, and a database that cannot store 4-byte characters rejects a whole option row because of them.
1.0.74
- Repeat customers: the row coloring and the customer badge are now separate switches, so either can be turned off on its own. With both off the orders scan is skipped entirely.
