Description
Sends out a daily or weekly email digest of the orders made in WooCommerce. A daily digest covers the previous day; a weekly digest, sent on the day you choose, covers the seven days before it. Pick the time it’s sent, and send the latest report on demand with the Run now button. This provides a great summary of yesterday’s activities as well as helping with quickly checking orders against any payments received overnight without needing to log in. It can also be useful as a packing slip for a warehouse and what stock goes with which order.

FAQ
-
When does the email go out and what does it cover?
-
By default it’s sent daily at 1am (site time) and covers the previous day. On the Order digest Manage screen you can switch to weekly, choose the report day and pick the hour it’s sent. A weekly report covers the seven full days before the report day, e.g. a Sunday report covers Sunday to Saturday of the week before.
-
I didn’t receive any email overnight
-
The digest is only sent when orders were made in the period it covers. Also check the Order digest email is enabled under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.
-
Can I change the email layout?
-
Yes. The digest uses your WooCommerce email styles, header and footer. To change its body, copy
templates/emails/email-orders-digest.phpfrom the plugin toyourtheme/woocommerce/emails/email-orders-digest.phpand edit it there. -
I didn’t receive any email at the scheduled time
-
If you are relying on the built-in WordPress scheduler, then this only gets triggered by site visitors. Therefore, if no one visits your site at the exact time of your intended schedule then the email won’t trigger exactly when you want it. A preferred option, if your hosting supports, is to set up a cron task at server level to trigger the
/wp-cron.phpURL.

Changelog
1.5.0
- Weekly reports: choose daily or weekly, the day of the week, and the time the report is sent. A weekly report covers the seven days before the report day
- Run now button on the Manage screen sends the latest report straight away, without changing the schedule. It replaces the single-day “Send a test” field
- The send time now stays fixed across daylight saving changes, and existing sites move to 1am site time with their next report
- The email is now called “Order digest”
1.4.0
- The digest is now its own WooCommerce email: find it under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails as Daily order digest, with the usual enable/disable toggle, recipients, subject, heading and CC/BCC options. Its settings no longer appear on every email’s settings screen. Existing recipient and introduction text settings are carried over automatically
- Multiple recipients now receive a single email addressed to all of them, as with WooCommerce’s own admin emails
