Design Cart Dashboard for WooCommerce replaces the default WordPress dashboard with a store cockpit for users who have the manage_woocommerce capability. Other users keep the standard dashboard.
Features
- Metric tiles: sales, orders, unique buyers, and average cart value
- Shortcuts to products, orders, categories, customers, coupons, reports, settings, and add product, filtered by user capabilities
- Three Chart.js charts plus an accessible daily data table
- Settings in the Design Cart interface: dashboard redirect, shortcut and chart visibility, and order statuses
- Local assets only: no CDN, telemetry, or outbound requests while viewing the dashboard
How the numbers work
All values cover 30 calendar days including today, based on the order created date and the WordPress timezone. Default statuses are processing and completed. Sales are gross amounts including shipping minus refunds; refunds are assigned to the order created day. Fully refunded orders with the refunded status are excluded by default. Average cart value is sales after refunds divided by the number of orders in the selected statuses.
Customers are unique buyer email addresses, including guests. If an email is missing, the account ID is used; if both are missing, the order counts as a separate buyer. This is not a count of registered accounts. Only the current store currency is included; amounts are not converted between currencies.
Statistics are cached for 5 minutes. Orders are loaded in batches of 100 through the WooCommerce CRUD API. The first open in a large store may take longer. The cache does not store emails or buyer IDs. Deactivating the plugin restores the default dashboard; settings remain in the database.
