How the WooCommerce Order Data Is Stored in the Database?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:35 pm

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce plugin for WordPress. It is used by many online stores to sell products and services. WooCommerce is a free plugin, but it also has a paid version with more features.

WooCommerce stores data in the WordPress database. This includes data about orders, products, customers, etc.

Data is stored in MySQL tables. When you install WooCommerce, it creates several tables in the database.

WooCommerce order data is stored in the wp_woocommerce_order_items and wp_woocommerce_order_itemmeta tables. These tables store information about each order, such as the order ID, product ID, quantity, price, etc. The wp_woocommerce_order_items table also stores information about the shipping and billing addresses, customer IP address, etc.

PRO TIP: The WooCommerce order data is stored in the database. This data includes the customer’s name, email address, shipping address, and credit card information. If this data is not properly secured, it could be accessed by unauthorized individuals.

The wp_woocommerce_order_itemmeta table stores additional information about each order item. This includes data such as the product name, SKU, taxes, shipping cost, etc.

WooCommerce also stores customer data in the WordPress database. This includes data such as the customer’s name, email address, phone number, etc. Customer data is stored in the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables.

WooCommerce doesn’t store credit card information in the WordPress database. Credit card information is stored by the payment gateway that you are using (such as Stripe or PayPal).

If you are using WooCommerce for your online store, then you should know how the WooCommerce order data is stored in the database. This information can be useful if you ever need to troubleshoot an issue with your store or if you need to migrate your data to a new server.
