Easy Digital Downloads – Digital Badge

Allow a product to be marked as Digital and have a badge after it's title to indicate as such.

Order Daemon

<p>Order Daemon runs in the background of your WooCommerce store, applying automation rules to every order and recording every event to a searchable log. You build the rules. The daemon handles them — and shows you exactly what it did.</p>
<p><strong>Three things it does well</strong></p>
<h4>01 · Automate</h4>
<p>Build automation rules using a visual WHEN / IF / THEN builder. No code. Each rule has a trigger (the WooCommerce event that starts evaluation), conditions (the filters that narrow the match), and an action (what executes when all conditions pass). Rules run automatically. There is no limit on how many you can create.</p>
<p>Common rules stores use on day one:</p>
<ul>
<li>Complete virtual and downloadable orders immediately after payment</li>
<li>Auto-complete orders when every item in the cart is digital</li>
<li>Complete orders above a threshold amount for verified customers</li>
<li>Flag orders stuck in Processing for manual review</li>
</ul>
<h4>02 · Observe</h4>
<p>Every order event flows into the Insight Dashboard — a live, searchable log stream. Rule executions, status changes, checkout failures, payment events. Every event WooCommerce emits is captured, timestamped, and retained for 30 days.</p>
<p>Click any row to open the full event timeline for that order: every event on a single spine with time deltas, color-coded by severity, with raw event data one click away. Most WooCommerce stores have no visibility into what is actually happening to their orders. Order Daemon gives you a flight recorder.</p>
<h4>03 · Diagnose</h4>
<p>Checkout failures are logged the moment they occur — before any customer complains. The log stream surfaces payment hiccups, rule conditions that did not match, and orders that stopped moving. You see it first.</p>
<p><strong>What the free version includes</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Unlimited automation rules</li>
<li>Visual WHEN / IF / THEN rule builder</li>
<li>Order processing trigger</li>
<li>Conditions: product type, product category, order total</li>

<li>30-day event log retention</li>
<li>Built-in diagnostics and compatibility tools</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>Order Daemon Pro</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://orderdaemon.com/pricing/" rel="nofollow ugc">Pro</a> adds more triggers, conditions, and actions; rule testing against real past orders without modifying state; webhook connections; WP-CLI; and extended log retention — upgrade when the free rule components are not enough or you need external integrations.</p>
<h3>Uninstallation</h3>
<p>All data (rules, event log, settings) is preserved when you deactivate or delete the plugin — nothing is dropped automatically. To permanently remove all plugin data before uninstalling, add this to <code>wp-config.php</code>:</p>
<pre><code>define('ODCM_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true);
</code></pre>
<p>Then uninstall normally. All tables and options will be removed.</p>
