Woo b2b customer overview

woo-b2b-customer-overview

Purpose

Export a structured overview of B2B customers in WooCommerce — identified by custom WordPress role (e.g., wholesale_customer, b2b) or by a meta field flag. Includes order count, lifetime spend, last order date, and company name. Read-only.

Prerequisites

• WooCommerce store with REST API enabled
• Consumer Key with Read scope
• B2B customers must be identifiable by WordPress role or meta_data key
• Minimum WooCommerce version: 3.5.0

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
store_url	string	yes	—	Base URL of the WooCommerce store
consumer_key	string	yes	—	WooCommerce REST API consumer key (ck_...)
consumer_secret	string	yes	—	WooCommerce REST API consumer secret (cs_...)
dry_run	bool	no	false	No effect — read-only skill
format	string	no	human	Output format: human or json
b2b_role	string	no	wholesale_customer	WordPress user role identifying B2B customers
b2b_meta_key	string	no	—	Alternative: meta_data key that flags B2B customers
min_orders	int	no	1	Minimum order count to include

Authentication

WooCommerce uses OAuth 1.0a for HTTP and Basic Auth over HTTPS.

For HTTPS stores (recommended):

Authorization: Basic base64(consumer_key:consumer_secret)

For HTTP stores (development only): Use OAuth 1.0a — include oauth_consumer_key, oauth_nonce, oauth_signature, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, oauth_timestamp, oauth_version=1.0

Never log or output consumer_key or consumer_secret values.

See docs/AUTHENTICATION.md for full setup instructions.

Safety

Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. Safe to run at any time.

Workflow Steps

Step 1 — Fetch B2B customers by role

GET /wp-json/wc/v3/customers?role=<b2b_role>&per_page=100&page=1

If b2b_meta_key is set instead: fetch all customers and filter client-side by meta_data.

Extract: id, first_name, last_name, email, billing.company, orders_count, total_spent, date_created, meta_data

Step 2 — Filter by min_orders and sort by total_spent descending

Step 3 — Export

API Endpoints Used

GET  /wp-json/wc/v3/customers   — B2B customer list filtered by role

Pagination Strategy

WooCommerce REST API uses page/per_page pagination (not cursor-based).

Standard pattern:

page = 1
while True:
  response = GET /endpoint?per_page=100&page=page
  process(response)
  if len(response) < 100: break
  page += 1

Maximum per_page is 100 for most endpoints. The X-WP-Total and X-WP-TotalPages response headers report totals. Always read X-WP-TotalPages on the first request to estimate job size.

Session Tracking

Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.

STARTUP:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  SKILL: woo-b2b-customer-overview        ║
║  STORE: <store_url>                      ║
║  TIME:  <ISO-8601 UTC>                   ║
║  MODE:  READ-ONLY                        ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝

PER-OPERATION (emit after each API call batch):

[N/TOTAL] <METHOD> <endpoint> → <result_count> records | params: <key>=<val>

COMPLETION (human format):

╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  COMPLETE: woo-b2b-customer-overview     ║
║  RECORDS PROCESSED: <n>                  ║
║  OUTPUT: <filename>                      ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝

COMPLETION (json format):

{
  "skill": "woo-b2b-customer-overview",
  "store": "<store_url>",
  "completed_at": "<ISO-8601>",
  "records_processed": <n>,
  "output_file": "<path>",
  "dry_run": false
}

Output Format

CSV filename: woo-b2b-customer-overview_<YYYY-MM-DD>.csv Columns: customer_id, company, first_name, last_name, email, role, orders_count, total_spent, date_created, last_order_date

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Resolution
401 Unauthorized	Invalid credentials	Verify consumer_key and consumer_secret
403 Forbidden	Key lacks Read scope	Regenerate with Read scope
429 Too Many Requests	Rate limit	Wait 2 seconds and retry
Empty result	No customers with specified role	Verify the WordPress role name (case-sensitive)

Best Practices

• Verify your B2B role name exactly — WordPress roles are case-sensitive.
• For stores using B2B plugins (WooCommerce B2B, Wholesale Suite): check the plugin's documentation for the correct role slug.
• Use the CSV for account manager territory assignments or CRM import.
