How Do I Delete a Session in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:34 pm

When you’re setting up a new WooCommerce store, one of the first things you’ll need to do is add products. You can add products manually, one at a time, or in bulk using a CSV file.

Once you have your products added, you’ll need to set up shipping and tax rates. Shipping rates can be set up manually, or you can use a shipping calculator.

Tax rates can be set up manually or pulled from a tax table.

After your products, shipping, and taxes are set up, you’re ready to start taking orders! When an order is placed, WooCommerce creates a “session” for that order.

A session contains all the data related to an order, such as the customer’s information, the products ordered, the shipping and tax rates, and the order total.

You can view and manage sessions from the Orders page in your WooCommerce dashboard. From here, you can view basic information about each session, such as the customer’s name, address, email address, and order total.

You can also see the status of each order (i.e., whether it’s been completed, canceled, etc.) and take action accordingly.

To delete a session:

  1. Go to WooCommerce > Orders. You will see a list of all orders placed in your store.
  2. Hover over the order you want to delete and click Delete. A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm that you want to delete the order.

Deleting an order cannot be undone! Once you delete an order, all data related to that order will be permanently deleted from your store.

  1. Click OK. The order will be deleted from your store.

If you need to cancel an order but don’t want to delete it completely (for example, if you need to refund the customer), you can change the Order Status. To learn more about managing orders in WooCommerce, check out our documentation on Managing Orders.
