Why Are Customer Notes Important?<\/h2>\n
Customer notes are a core feature in WooCommerce, and store owners can track key information about a customer or order. They come in two forms:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Internal notes: <\/strong>These are private and for internal use only, visible only to the admin or store team. Store owners and employees can communicate about specific orders or customer preferences without the customer seeing these notes.<\/li>\n
- Customer-facing notes:<\/strong> These notes are visible to the customer and are used to communicate order updates or information the customer needs to know. They are sent to the customer via email and can include shipping details or special instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
By strategically using these two types of notes, you can streamline your internal processes and improve customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n
WooCommerce order notes vs. WooCommerce customer notes<\/h2>\n
The main difference between WooCommerce order notes and customer notes is in their intended usage.<\/p>\n
- \n
- WooCommerce order notes<\/strong> are internal messages added by store admins to track order updates, such as status changes or processing issues. WooCommerce order notes are messages added to an order to provide additional information or updates. There are two types: customer-created notes,\u00a0 which can be created by the customer and are visible to the customer via the checkout page and the order page and can include details like shipping updates, and private customer notes, which are only visible to store administrators and can be used for internal communication.<\/li>\n
- WooCommerce customer notes<\/strong>, on the other hand, are messages about the customer intended to keep other team members informed of their order status or instructions. Order notes are more internal and focused on the order itself; customer notes are for communication about the customer’s specific situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nThese notes help track important order details and improve communication between the store and customers. In this article, we will discuss private customer notes intended for internal use.<\/p>\n

- \n

Thanks to the User Notes feature<\/a> of User Insights and the WooCommerce module<\/a>, you can now add and share WooCommerce customer notes with your team. In this article, we will see how to use the customer notes functionality to capture customer-related info and share tips about improving your WooCommerce customer management and organization.<\/p>\n
Since Users Insights works with registered WordPress users only<\/a>, this feature will work only for your WooCommerce customers with\u00a0a registered WordPress account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Where can you find the customer notes?<\/h2>\n
Once you install and activate Users Insights, the first thing to do is open the Users Insights plugin<\/a> page in your WordPress dashboard and find a customer to whom you’d like to add a customer note. You can do this by browsing through the WooCommerce customer list in the table of Users Insights, or you can use the Users Insights intelligent filters to search for a particular customer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nOnce you have located your customer from the list, click on the customer’s username. This will open the user profile page of Users Insights. This is a page where you have all the information about a particular customer that Users Insights has detected. This includes the default WordPress user data, WooCommerce billing data (country, city, and region), and the WooCommerce activity (such as orders, reviews, and coupons used).<\/p>\n
The User Notes section is on the right side of the user profile page. Here, you can view all the notes for the customer and add new ones.<\/p>\n
