Description
User Switching addon adds a “Switch to” link on WooCommerce users, orders, and subscriptions screens, allowing you to assume any customer’s session with one click and return to your own user when finished. It is aimed at those supporting a WooCommerce store who need to reproduce checkout bugs, check discounts applied to a specific customer, or validate what appears in the buyer’s “My Account” dashboard.
Main Features of User Switching
- One-click session switching
“Switch to” button in WooCommerce admin user and order listings. - Return to original session
Persistent notice at the top of the site allows returning to admin without reauthentication. - Real checkout view
Cart, coupons, shipping, and payment methods displayed as the customer sees them. - Access to account endpoints
Allows opening “My orders,” “Downloads,” and “Addresses” under the chosen user’s identity. - Signed security cookies
Original session is stored with cryptographic signature to prevent session hijacking.
Benefits of User Switching
- Faster support
Reproduces reported issues without asking customers for passwords, screenshots, or recordings. - Validation of segmented rules
Live checks coupons, user roles, and profile-specific pricing. - No risk to admin account
Original user can be resumed anytime without losing access. - Workflow within admin itself
Eliminates the need to install external impersonation tools or open incognito browsers.
Who is User Switching For?
- Those who handle support in a WooCommerce store and need to see the site exactly as the customer who opened the ticket does.
- You who sell with restricted coupons, user role pricing, or segmented catalogs and want to validate what each profile sees.
- Those developing customizations in My Account, subscriptions area, or checkout who need to test the buyer’s final experience.
How to Download User Switching
User Switching is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate it. The “Switch to” links will appear in WooCommerce User and Order listings as soon as the plugin is activated.
Aimed at those handling orders and complaints in a WooCommerce store’s daily routine, User Switching shortens the path between customer reports and technical diagnosis. Instead of asking for screenshots or trying to reproduce the scenario in a parallel environment, support opens the buyer’s real dashboard, checks what they see, and then returns to their own session without leaving traces on the original account.
