PureDevs Customer History for WooCommerce

Customer History 3.0.0 is a complete revamp — rebuilt from the ground up as a focused customer-intelligence and reporting tool for WooCommerce. We’ve moved away from scattered actions and doubled down on one thing: showing you exactly what your customers are doing on your store — who’s buying, who’s browsing without buying, and what they’re searching for — so you can plan your next move with real insight instead of guesswork. The analytics are read-only and run entirely on your own server, and the plugin never contacts your customers automatically — it sends no bulk or marketing emails.

Most WooCommerce stores fly blind on their customers. The native dashboard reports orders, revenue, and traffic — but not who is buying, who’s browsing without buying, what people are searching for, or which searches return nothing. PureDevs Customer History turns raw store activity into customer intelligence: profiles, search insight, view tracking, and segments — all inside wp-admin.

Tracking starts the moment you activate it: no wizard, no configuration, works out of the box. And it’s private by design — all data stays in your own WordPress database, with nothing sent to any third-party service or API.

WHAT CUSTOMER HISTORY SHOWS YOU

Customer Intelligence Dashboard. Your store’s customer nerve centre. See total customers, new customers this period, and active customers at a glance, plus widgets for top customers by lifetime value, latest orders with customer context, top-selling products, top search terms, top categories, recent searches, and most-viewed products — with a date-range picker and period-over-period comparison.

Customer List & Profiles. A customer-first view of your store. Sort and search your customers by name, email, orders, lifetime spend, and last order date. Open any customer to see their full profile: financial summary, complete order history, that customer’s recent searches, and recently viewed products — data WooCommerce native simply does not provide.

Customer Notes. A private notepad on every customer profile. Jot down what the numbers cannot tell you — a phone call, a complaint, a delivery preference — and it stays with that customer. Notes are admin-only, never shown to the customer, and are included in the WordPress personal-data export and erase tools. Annotation only: no tasks, no reminders, no follow-ups.

Search & Discovery Analytics. A dedicated Search Analytics page with nothing comparable in WooCommerce. See your top search terms and most recent searches — so you know exactly what shoppers are looking for — alongside the most-viewed products with view counts and your top viewed categories.

Zero-Result Searches. The searches that came back empty — demand your catalogue failed to answer. The Search Analytics page lists every term that returned no products, how often it was searched, and when it was last searched, so you can see what shoppers wanted and you did not have. WooCommerce cannot see this, and neither can any report built from orders alone.

View Tracking. Passive, lightweight tracking of which products and categories your customers view. The view-to-purchase gap is invisible to WooCommerce native; Customer History surfaces it on every customer profile and on the Search Analytics page.

Revenue. A focused revenue dashboard: net revenue, orders, average order value, customers, and your repeat purchase rate — the share of customers in the period who bought more than once — for the selected period (within the free 90-day window), each with period-over-period comparison, plus a revenue trend chart.

Order History. A store-wide order list you can filter by date range, order status, and keyword, with quick links straight into the matching WooCommerce order edit screens — a fast way to find and cross-reference orders alongside everything else you know about the customer.

Manual Customer Email. When you want to follow up with a single customer, you can compose and send them a one-off email straight from their profile. It’s entirely manual and admin-initiated — there are no automated sends, no bulk emails, and no marketing campaigns. You write each message yourself, and the plugin never contacts a customer unless you choose to.

Customer Segments. Save a customer segment configuration for quick recall. The Segments page shows your saved segment with a live customer count and one-click CSV export.

Email Digest — Weekly or Monthly. An optional, opt-in summary email sent to you, the store owner: new customers, top search terms, top customers, and most-viewed products. Choose the interval in Settings — weekly, or monthly for a slower-moving store — and the report window follows your choice. Keeps you informed about customer activity even when you don’t log in. (Admin-only — the digest goes to you, the store owner, not to your customers.)

CSV Export. Export your customer list to CSV at any time.

FREE VERSION SCOPE

The free version shows up to 100 customers in the customer list and the most recent 90 days of analytics. All data — for every customer and every session — is collected from day one. The free version simply shows the most recent 100 customers and 90-day window; the full view is available in Pro.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Customer History is built around observation and reporting. It runs no automation, sends no bulk or marketing emails, creates no coupons, and never modifies orders, product data, or any WooCommerce setting. The one outbound action it offers is fully optional and manual: you can send an individual customer a one-off email that you compose yourself from their profile — nothing is ever sent automatically. It’s HPOS-compatible, supports the WordPress GDPR export/erase workflow, and keeps all data on your own server.

Upgrade to Pro

Customer History Pro extends the free plugin with advanced customer intelligence. Upgrading doesn’t add a second plugin — the advanced features simply switch on, with all your previously captured data intact. Pro unlocks:

• RFM Segments — instantly see whether a customer is a Champion, Loyal, At Risk, or Lost, based on Recency, Frequency, and Monetary scoring.
• Customer Health Score — a 0–100 score blending recency, frequency, spending, and engagement, with trend tracking.
• Churn Risk & Prediction — identify customers who are about to stop buying, with at-risk alerts.
• Behavioral Tags — automatic badges such as Bargain Hunter, Cart Abandoner, and Brand Loyal.
• Manual Tags — your own tags alongside the automatic behavioral ones: create and colour them on a Manual Tags page, apply them from any customer profile, then filter and segment by them exactly like every other signal.
• Lifecycle Stages — see where each customer sits in their journey: New, Active, Loyal, or Lapsed.
• Order-Screen Intelligence Panel — a compact panel right on the WooCommerce order edit screen showing that customer’s health score, RFM segment, lifecycle stage, lifetime value, order count, and last-seen date. The intelligence follows you to the screen you already work on every day.
• Full Session History — every visit, page view, and search a customer has made, beyond the free 90-day window.
• Customer Activity Timeline — one chronological stream on the customer profile: searched → viewed → added to cart → ordered. Filter by event type and load older activity on demand. This is the behavioural join no order-based report can reproduce, finally on a single screen.
• Guest-to-Customer Merge — when a guest’s email later registers or checks out, their earlier anonymous sessions, searches, and views attach to the unified profile automatically, and a one-time background backfill repairs the history you already collected.
• Abandoned Cart Tracking — observe carts and detect abandonment and recovery, with an admin list and dashboard widget. (Tracking and insight only — no recovery emails are sent.)
• Full Revenue Analytics — a complete revenue dashboard with KPI cards, time-series, and a new-vs-returning-vs-guest revenue split.
• Cohort Retention — monthly acquisition cohorts in a heatmap: cohort size and the share returning at month 1, 2, 3 … 12, with an average-retention-by-offset chart, customer/percentage views, and CSV export. Precomputed daily, so the page loads instantly.
• Retention Metrics & Expected CLV — store-level churn rate over configurable windows (15/30/60/90 days · 4/6/12/24 months) with a trend chart and an expected-customer-lifetime-value card, sitting beside your per-customer scores.
• LTV Distribution — a histogram of how many customers sit in each lifetime-spend bracket, with average and median LTV cards, so you can see the shape of your customer base rather than one averaged number.
• Geographic Performance — net sales, orders, items, and unique products by billing country, with side-by-side country comparison, a comparison chart, and its own date-range picker.
• Refund-Rate Signal — each customer’s refund rate as a sortable column, a threshold filter, and a segment condition — the quality signal that separates a genuine high-value customer from a high-refund one.
• RFM Matrix Heat-Map — the whole customer base plotted on a recency × frequency grid, so you can see where your customers cluster and click into any cell.
• Enhanced Product Reports — product revenue over time, frequently-bought-together correlations, and a revenue-pattern heatmap by day and hour.
• Aggregate Conversion Funnel — a store-wide funnel view from sessions to purchase.
• Revenue Data Integrity — a diagnostic that validates the accuracy of your revenue figures.
• Stats pages — product-view stats, search-keyword stats, zero-result search terms, taxonomy/category stats, top-selling products, total customer spend, and live sessions.
• Advanced customer table — extra columns (RFM segment, health score, lifecycle stage, behavioral tags, manual tags, refund rate, average order gap) and filters by country, RFM segment, health score, health trend, lifecycle stage, behavior, manual tag, and refund rate.
• Advanced order-history filters — filter orders by payment method and order total.
• Session data tools — export and import session data (CSV), delete data by date range, and exclude bot/admin sessions from tracking.
• Ready-made segments — pre-built Pro segments out of the box (High Value At Risk, Loyal Champions, Needs Attention, Hibernating, High Health Declining).
• Marketing-ready CSV export presets — export any segment in a Klaviyo or Mailchimp column layout as well as the standard one. It is still just a file you download; the plugin connects to no external service, ever.
• Segment attached to your digest — pick a saved segment and its CSV rides along with each digest email, so the list you care about lands in your inbox without logging in.
• No limits — unlimited customers, full historical data, and unlimited saved segments.

See Pro in action first: log in to the live demo (username `demo`, password `demo1234`) and browse every Pro screen — RFM segments, health scores, abandoned carts, revenue analytics — before you buy.
