# Order logging?

 * It seems there is no native logging for orders (seeing what details are sent 
   to the various payment gateways when an order is created).
 * I’m trying to find a suitable free plugin to be able to see what information 
   is being sent over with orders, can someone please give me recommendations?
 * I need to be able to see details of the order object when it’s being created (
   it’s being sent to a custom payment gateway, but either way, I need to be able
   to see details of orders being created, and what’s being sent across, and the
   response if possible).

 * Hi [@leecollings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leecollings/)
 * I understand you want to see the details WooCommerce sends to your payment gateway
   when an order is created, along with the responses. No worries, I will point 
   you in the right direction.
 * WooCommerce itself doesn’t include native logging of order data sent to gateways.
   What you can do is check whether your payment gateway has a “Debug/Logging” option
   in **WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → [Your Gateway]**. Most official gateways
   support this, and the logs can then be viewed in **WooCommerce → Status → Logs**.
 * For additional visibility, two free tools you may find useful are:
    - **Simple History**: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-history/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-history/)(
      with the WooCommerce Logger extension).
    - **Query Monitor**: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/)—
      this lets you inspect outgoing HTTP requests and responses during checkout
      tests.
 * Please note that we can’t provide or maintain custom code solutions for logging
   order data, but the plugins above are commonly used to achieve similar results
   without needing to build something custom. If you’re using a custom-built gateway,
   you may want to ask the developer to implement logging via WooCommerce’s logger(
   wc_get_logger()), so logs appear in the standard WooCommerce log section.
 * Feel free to let us know how it goes, or if you run into any other problem.

 * Hi [@leecollings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leecollings/),
 * It’s been a bit since we last hear from you, so we’ll close this thread for now.
 * If WooCommerce has been helpful for your business and you appreciated the support,
   we’d love it if you left us a short review here:
