Order Edit Logger for WooCommerce

Order Edit Logger records every order edit made in your WooCommerce admin: who edited it, when, and exactly which fields changed — status, billing, shipping, totals, customer note, and line items — with old and new values side by side.

Once activated, tracking starts immediately with no setup required. Edit history appears on each order’s detail page, in a Last Edited column on the orders list, on a bulk WooCommerce → Edit History page, and in a dashboard widget. You can also enable email notifications when orders are edited and export edit history to CSV for audit reports.

The plugin is fully compatible with both High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and legacy storage, requires no custom database tables, and is translation-ready (Greek included).

Key features

• Field-level change tracking — see exactly which fields changed, with old and new values side by side.
• “Last Edited” column on the orders list — instant visibility of who handled each order and when.
• Bulk Edit History page under WooCommerce → Edit History, filterable by user.
• Dashboard widget showing the 10 most recent edits site-wide.
• Email notifications with configurable recipients, status-change-only filtering, and 60-second throttling.
• CSV export — per-order or bulk, for audit and compliance reporting.
• Configurable user roles — choose which roles trigger tracking.
• Optional REST API and cron tracking for orders edited by external integrations or scheduled jobs.
• HPOS + legacy — works with both order storage backends.
• No custom database tables — uses WooCommerce metadata API, portable with any backup or migration tool.
• Translation-ready — Greek translation included; .pot file in /languages/.

Who is it for?

• Multi-admin stores that need accountability across the team.
• Stores with audit / compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO, internal audit).
• Dispute resolution and customer service — trace exactly what changed before issuing a refund or replacement.
• Agencies and developers managing client stores who need a drop-in audit log without custom tables.

Why Order Edit Logger?

• WooCommerce-native — built specifically for orders, not a generic activity log.
• Field-level diffs — shows old → new values, not just “an edit happened”.
• Zero-config — tracking starts immediately on activation; settings are optional.
• Lightweight — no custom database tables, no custom cron, no heavyweight dependencies.
• Notifications built-in — no need for a separate email plugin.
