Generate realistic products, customers, orders, categories and reviews for development, staging and theme demos. Every item is tagged so the cleanup button only removes what this plugin made.
Themes look different with 0 products vs 30. Reports return zeros. HPOS migration tests pass trivially. Every WooCommerce developer has hand-typed "Test Product 1" through "Test Product 5" too many times.
Product grids look different with 30 items than with 3. Customer dashboards look different with a real order history. Spin up 60 seconds of demo data and your theme review is suddenly meaningful.
"Best sellers", "lifetime value", "category revenue" — they all return zero on an empty install. Demo orders across a date range give analytics plugins something to render.
Migrating 50,000 orders is a different kind of scary on a real shop. Generate 1,000 demo orders on a staging clone first; rehearse the migration where rollback is free.
Every item this plugin generates is tagged with _dcfw_demo. The Delete button uses that flag — your manual entries never get touched.

Click. The plugin builds products with prices and placeholder images, customers with addresses, orders with realistic statuses spread across your date range, plus optional reviews.
Clean up

Answers to the questions I get most often.
Will this delete my real data?
No. Every item generated by the plugin is tagged with a _dcfw_demo meta flag. The cleanup button uses that flag, so manual entries are never touched. Worst case: cleanup leaves something behind. Best case: works as advertised. Never: removes anything you didn't generate via this plugin.
Is this really free?
Yes. There is no PRO tier, no premium upsell, no license key. GPL v2, free to use on as many sites as you want.
Can I run this on a live production shop?
Technically yes; you really shouldn't. Fake orders pollute analytics, fake customers pollute email lists, fake reviews pollute social proof. The Tutorial page shows a red warning if it looks like a live site (HTTPS + non-local hostname).
How fast is it?
Generating 30 products + 25 customers + 50 orders takes ~10–20 seconds on a normal server. Times scale roughly linearly with the counts — 500 orders is closer to a minute.
Can I generate Dutch content?
Yes. The Generator page has a language dropdown with English (default) and Dutch (NL) — Dutch picks names like "Jan de Boer", addresses on "Hoofdstraat" and price formats in euros.
Is this HPOS-compatible?
Yes. Order creation and deletion go through wc_create_order() and $order->delete(), which are HPOS-compatible. The plugin also declares the custom_order_tables feature compatibility flag.
This is how OCW Demo Content for WooCommerce shows up in the WordPress.org plugin directory and in your plugins list — look for the teal-and-pink OCW style.
