Description

Unknown to many, WooCommerce captures the device/platform, browser and browser version used by a customer when an order is placed, this is known as the user agent string. This useful information is currently not shown anywhere in the WooCommerce plugin.

**Friendly User Agent for WooCommerce* simply displays this information as a new column on the Orders page and within the Edit Order page. You can then see what customers are using what devices and browsers.

Very useful and easy to use plugin. Lets me know what devices and Browsers my customers use. Great for determining what customer browsers are causing problems, with your website. Very helpful support team, quick responses to questions.

very useful. thanks - it's important to easily understand which order i done by which device and platform. this plugin is very good. a question why this plugin doesn't have setting page and why it doesn't produce report. if it gave us a whole report it would be better and we would change our strategies more wisely. please provide a report page for it with different filters. thanks

Hi, very well done, I would give some css work on the orders admin display since the row is fixed width and icon is something jumping to next row.. Thanks and keep on the good work!

Great Plugin. Does just what I needed.
