Order Simulator for WooCommerce

Download [WooCommerce] (http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce/)

Welcome to the Order Simulator for WooCommerce. Like many developers, we struggle with building test sites with the type of (and enough) order data to make testing valid across a number of scenarios and at scale. For [Follow Ups] (http://www.woothemes.com/products/follow-up-emails/), we needed the ability to test many thousands of emails per day similar to many of our customers, and hence the Order Simulator was born.

Support

Please note that we will provide support as necessary for this plugin, but we cannot guarantee it. We released this plugin as a service to developers and site owners. We do welcome improvements and pull requests, so fork this repository and share back your edits, fixes, etc. We will review them posthaste.

How it works

• Download this repo
• Upload order simulator to your /wp-content/plugins/
• Activate the plugin
• Go to WooCommerce > Settings
• Choose Order Simulator to set your order settings
• You can:
  • Define the number of orders created per hour (turn off by setting to 0)
  • Limit the products that can be added to each order (leave blank to allow any product)
  • Limit the minimum number of products per order
  • Limit the maximum number of products per order
  • Set the percentage of orders that go to Completed, Pending Payment, or Failed status
• Set your Create User Accounts settings
  • We always recommend testing with email turned off, using an SMTP service in test mode, or otherwise.
  • When installing, a table will be installed called fakenames from the fakenames.sql which includes a random database of names and emails (auto-generated and fake to the best of our knowledge)
  • If you have Create User Accounts to No then the orders will be assigned to existing users
  • If you have Create User Accounts to Yes then the orders will be assigned to new users created using the fakenames.sql data, and from existing users
• Please make sure that you have BACS payments turned on
