WooCommerce: Anonymize All Users & Orders

Especially when you need to let other people (such as developers) log in to your WooCommerce website, you may want to protect the identity of your customers and your order details.

Of course, anonymizing your WooCommerce backend requires a complete database override – this change is 100% irreversible! Only run this code if you know what you’re doing.

The ideal workflow is the following: you give developers access to a staging/clone website version, you run this custom code to anonymize customers and orders, and have them do the changes. This is good for GDPR, CRPA and PIPEDA as well: third party people won’t see sensitive data.

One more note: I haven’t tested the code with thousands of customers and orders – feel free to leave a comment in case your (staging) website crashes. Enjoy!

I just anonymized all orders on this WooCommerce website (it’s a playground environment). Ask me anything!

PHP Snippet: Anonymize All WooCommerce Users And Orders @ WordPress Dashboard

Lots of notes before you test this code!

  1. The most important one: this code alters your entire database and the changes are 100% irreversible! Only run this code if you know what you’re doing.
  2. To trigger the code, add the ‘bb-anonymize-woocommerce’ URL parameter to any admin URL and hit enter. For example, https://example.io/wp-admin/index.php?bb-anonymize-woocommerce would work
  3. Read the comments inside the snippet to customize it. For example, I make sure administrators and shop managers are not anonymized – feel free to add more user roles
  4. I’ve written this code on top of https://gist.github.com/trainingspark/d3fdf638dcdcdbd65c1618e6bc6fe946 – so thanks for sharing!

Where to add custom code?

You should place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file and CSS at the bottom of its style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files - if you need more guidance, please take a look at my guide "Should I Add Custom Code Via WP Editor, FTP or Code Snippets?" and my video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"

Does this snippet (still) work?

Please let me know in the comments if everything went as expected. I would be happy to revise the snippet if you report otherwise (please provide screenshots). I have tested this code with Storefront theme, the WooCommerce version listed above and a WordPress-friendly hosting.

If you think this code saved you time & money, feel free to join 17,000+ WooCommerce Weekly subscribers for blog post updates and 250+ Business Bloomer supporters for 365 days of WooCommerce benefits. Thank you in advance!
