FAQ
-
What is EasyCommerce FakerPress?
-
A WordPress plugin that generates realistic fake data for EasyCommerce stores. It is intended for development, QA testing, and demo environments — not production sites.
-
How does the EasyCommerce integration work?
-
The plugin uses native EasyCommerce models (Product, Customer, Order, etc.) to create data. This ensures validation, relationship integrity, and compatibility with future EasyCommerce updates. Direct database inserts are avoided.
-
Can I generate data with relationships?
-
Yes. Orders can be linked to existing customers and products with inventory adjustments. Refunds require existing completed or processing orders. Product reviews are linked to existing products and customers.
-
How realistic is the generated data?
-
Data uses FakerPHP for authentic names, addresses, and content, combined with e-commerce-specific logic such as pricing strategies, geographic distribution, and customer lifecycle patterns. Sample data sync adds locale-specific product names, addresses, and other reference data.
-
Is it safe for production?
-
No. Use only in development or staging environments. Always back up your database before generating data.
-
Can I customize the generated data?
-
Yes. Use the hook system to filter data before creation, modify results, or trigger custom actions after items are created. Abstract generator classes can also be extended for custom generators.
-
What is sample data sync?
-
The Settings page includes a sync feature that downloads locale-specific reference data (product names, customer tags, addresses, and more) from the companion GitHub repository. This improves the realism of generated content across 75+ locales.
-
How do I remove generated data?
-
Use WordPress or EasyCommerce bulk deletion tools. For large-scale cleanup, targeted database queries (with a backup) may be more efficient. The plugin does not currently include a bulk delete feature.
-
What happens to the run history?
-
Run history is stored in browser localStorage. It does not affect your database. You can clear it from the Settings page under Danger Zone.
