Clicks Order Archiver

As a WooCommerce store grows, thousands of completed, cancelled, refunded, and failed orders pile up in the primary Orders screen. That slows down order search, admin page loads, and database queries. Clicks Order Archiver solves this by letting you archive old WooCommerce orders into a dedicated, searchable archive, without deleting anything or touching your sales reports.

Built for store managers and WooCommerce developers who need a safe, reversible way to manage order table bloat, Clicks Order Archiver works with both legacy post-based orders and WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), so it fits stores of any size or setup.

Why archive WooCommerce orders?

• Faster admin screens – a smaller active Orders list means faster sorting, filtering, and searching.
• Better database performance – fewer rows scanned on every order query, page load, and report.
• Cleaner day-to-day workflow – staff only see orders that actually need attention, not years of old completed orders.
• Zero data loss – archiving is fully reversible and never changes totals, line items, or customer records.

Key Features

• Manual Batch Archiving – archive orders older than a custom threshold (in days), filtered by status: completed, cancelled, refunded, or failed.
• HPOS & Legacy Order Support – fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (wc_orders tables) as well as legacy post-based (shop_order) storage.
• Declutter the Primary Orders List – archived orders are automatically excluded from the default WooCommerce Orders screen.
• Dedicated Archived Orders Screen – view, search, and manage every archived order from WooCommerce > Archived Orders.
• Single & Bulk Restoration – un-archive one order or restore orders in bulk, any time you need them back in the active list.
• Safe Metadata-Based Archiving – uses a harmless _clicarch_archived flag. Order totals, line items, customer data, and WooCommerce sales reports are never modified.
• No External Services – all archiving happens locally in your WordPress database. Nothing is sent to third-party APIs or external servers.

Who is this for?

Clicks Order Archiver is ideal for high-volume WooCommerce stores, subscription businesses, agencies managing client stores, and any site where the Orders screen has become slow or difficult to navigate because of years of accumulated order history.

Data Safety

Archiving is non-destructive by design. Clicks Order Archiver never deletes orders, never edits monetary totals, and never modifies customer information. It simply flags orders as archived so they’re hidden from the default view, and instantly restorable whenever you need them.

External services

This plugin does not contact, send data to, or load scripts from any external services, APIs, or third-party servers. All operations occur strictly within your WordPress site database.
