Requires a WordPress test environment with WooCommerce installed and active.
WooCommerce Reset is a plugin that wipes WooCommerce back to a clean, fresh state. It gives developers a quick way to reset all of WooCommerce's data and settings so they can start over without having to manually delete products, orders, customers, and configuration one by one. The plugin works by adding special REST API endpoints to WordPress. When triggered, these endpoints clear out the WooCommerce data, essentially resetting the store as if it had just been installed for the first time. Developers can call these endpoints programmatically, which is useful for running automated tests that need a consistent, known starting point. The primary audience is developers and teams running automated end-to-end tests against WooCommerce stores. For example, if a team is testing a new checkout flow, they need to make sure previous test data doesn't interfere with results. Instead of building a brand new store for every test run, they can use this plugin to wipe the slate clean and run each test from an identical baseline state. The README is emphatic that this tool is for test environments only and should never be used on a live store. That warning makes sense given the tool's entire purpose is data deletion. The project is still marked as experimental, and the README doesn't go into detail about exactly which data gets reset or whether you can target specific areas like orders versus settings.
