Frequently Asked Questions
How does the plugin detect duplicate customers?
The plugin compares customer details stored in WooCommerce orders, including billing email addresses, phone numbers, names, and addresses, to identify possible duplicate customers.
Where are possible duplicate customers displayed?
Possible matches are displayed in a dedicated meta box on the WooCommerce order edit screen, allowing you to review them while managing the order. The plugin also adds a Duplicates column to the orders list, where the highest duplicate match score for each order is displayed for quick review.
What does the confidence score mean?
