Order Daemon for WooCommerce

by Order Daemon

Description

Order Daemon lets you define rules that automatically complete WooCommerce orders when your conditions are met — no manual intervention needed. It is designed for stores selling virtual, downloadable, or digital products where orders don’t require physical fulfillment.

If your store sells software, courses, memberships, or any product that doesn’t need packing and shipping, you’re probably completing orders manually or relying on a payment gateway integration that may or may not work reliably. Order Daemon gives you explicit, auditable control over when and how orders get completed.

How it works

You create rules using a visual rule builder. Each rule has:

A trigger — the event that starts evaluation (e.g. order moves to Processing)
Conditions — filters that must all pass (e.g. product type is Virtual, order total > $0)
An action — what happens when conditions are met (e.g. complete the order)

Rules run automatically in the background. The Insights Dashboard gives you a full audit log of every rule evaluation and order action taken, so you always know exactly what happened and why.

Free version includes

Unlimited active automation rules
Visual rule builder
Order processing trigger
Product type, product category, and order total conditions
Order completion action
Full audit log and Insights Dashboard
Built-in diagnostics tools

Good for

Recovering orders stuck in Processing

Need more triggers, conditions, and actions?

Order Daemon Pro adds additional rule components, priority support, and advanced automation for high-volume stores.

Uninstallation

When you uninstall the plugin, all data (rules, audit logs, settings) is preserved by default to prevent accidental loss.

To permanently remove all plugin data before uninstalling, add this line to your wp-config.php:

define('ODCM_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true);

Then uninstall the plugin normally. All tables and options will be deleted.

Faq

Does Order Daemon work with all payment gateways?

Yes. Order Daemon monitors standard WooCommerce order status changes, so it works with any payment gateway that correctly transitions orders through WooCommerce statuses.

Will this slow down my site?

No. The plugin runs automation during order processing events only, uses optimized database queries, and has no impact on front-end performance.

Can I create multiple rules?

Yes. There is no limit on the number of active rules.

Is it safe to automate order completion?

Yes. Every rule evaluation and action is logged in the audit log. Orders are only completed when all conditions in a rule are satisfied.

Does it work with physical products?

It can be configured to. The conditions system lets you target any product type or category, so you can scope rules precisely to the products where auto-completion makes sense.

Is customer data secure?

Yes. Order Daemon does not transmit any data outside your WordPress installation. All processing and logging happens locally on your server.

Can developers extend the plugin?

Yes. The plugin exposes hooks and filters for customization. See the documentation for details.
