See your catalog and order counts at a glance

WooCommerceBeginner~5 min

Before you start

WooCommerce enabled, with the count and report abilities turned on. No writes are involved.

Before your morning coffee goes cold you can know where the store stands: how many products are actually live versus sitting in draft, how many orders are waiting on you in processing or on-hold, and what sales did over the period you care about. This is the read-only standup for your shop. It counts and summarises, and it cannot change a thing.

The prompt
Give me a one-screen status of my WooCommerce store. Read only, change nothing.
I want product counts by status (published, draft, pending, trash), order
counts by status (pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled,
refunded, failed), and a sales summary for [this month]: total sales, order
count, net sales, and average order value.
Lay it out as a short briefing I can skim in under a minute, and put a
one-line takeaway at the very top, like orders piling up in processing or a
stack of draft products that never went live.

Why this is safe to run

Every ability behind this prompt is a read. Counting products is a separate ability from listing them, and none of these three can write, so the worst case is that a count you left switched off quietly returns nothing. Nothing is created, changed, or deleted.

Because it is all reads, there is no approval step and no batching to watch: it just answers. The order breakdown often surfaces the useful thing on its own, a pile of orders stuck in processing or on-hold that need a human, without you opening the orders screen at all. Every call still runs against the capability of the user you bound the agent to and lands in the Activity Log.

Already connected? Skip the paste. Ask your agent for the “see your catalog and order counts at a glance” recipe, or just ask how the store is doing, and it runs the same reads on your own install.

How it works

  1. Count products broken down by status (published, draft, pending, trash).
  2. Count orders broken down by status (pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded, failed).
  3. Pull the sales summary for the period you name: total sales, order count, net sales, average order value.
  4. Lay it out as a short briefing with a one-line takeaway at the top.

Questions

Can this change anything in my store?
No. Every part of it is a read. It counts and summarises what already exists and writes nothing, so it is safe to run any time.
What period does the sales summary cover?
Whatever you ask for. Say the month, week, or a date range in the prompt. If you do not name one, the sales summary defaults to the current calendar month.
