Freqently Asked Questions
License and domains

A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single Magento installation.

If you use more than one Magento installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each one.

If you run several domains on the same Magento installation, you will need only one license for all of them.

Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your support period does. By purchasing an extension, you’ll be granted a 6-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to renew your Support plan (see FAQ: How to extend my support period?).

You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.

Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the extension ready to use on your domain before it goes live.

To pre-register your production domain: 

  1. Go to:
    mY accountLicenses & DOwnloads
  2. Click on  next to the extension you want your domain to pre-register on.
  3. Click on the link at the bottom of the page saying:
    Do you want to pre-register your domain in order to be ready to go live?
  4. Finally, enter your domain name and click on pre-register now .
Attention, this doesn't mean your license is activated. You'll still have to activate it on your new domain when the extension is installed. 

One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one Magento installation only.  

It is possible, however, to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases: 

  • If you'd like to add your testing environments to your license.
    In this case, it is possible to extend your license to an unlimited number of domains for free.
    For example mywebsite-staging.com or mywebsite-dev.com
  • If you want to transfer your license to another live domain.
    In that case, the support period for your license must still be active.


To be able to use Order Eraser on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:

  1. Download Order Eraser.
    (see FAQ: Extensions download)
    .
  2. Install Order Eraser on your production environment.
    (see FAQ: Extensions installation)
  3. Activate the license.
    (see FAQ: Extensions activation).
  4. From your Magento admin panel, enter your current Activation Key in:
    syStem CONFIGuration WYOMING YOUR EXTENSION 
  5. Save your configuration.


Now that you can use Order Eraser on your production environment, repeat the same steps as above on your testing environments.

The only difference this time: a notification will appear in your Magento admin

You will be given a choice between:

  1. buy a new license now
  2. add this domain to my license


Click on Add this domain to my license.

A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.

Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.

If your transfer request is accepted, you can use Order Eraser on both environments at the same time.

The order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter.
You can start with your staging/dev/local environment or with your live domain, the process will be the same.
Modules versioning and download

In order to download Order Eraser, log into your Wyomind account:

    1. Go to:
      my accountLicenses & downloads 
    2. Click on the  icon next to Order Eraser.

      A new window opens.

    3. Choose the version of Order Eraser.
      You will be able to choose the most recent version of Order Eraser (for both Magento 1 and Magento 2).
    4. Click on  .

Your download can start.

When purchasing an extension from wyomind.com, you benefit from a lifetime upgrade. You can at any time download the latest version of the extension directly from your account. 

To upgrade Order Eraser, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to:
    my accountLicenses & Downloads
  2. Click on  next to Order Eraser.
  3. Choose the latest version of Order Eraser (for Magento 1 and Magento 2).
  4. Click on download .
  5. Install the new version of Order Eraser to update your Magento admin. 

Modules Installation/Uninstallation

To uninstall Order Eraser, go on its zip folder and open it.

You will find a shell file (such as: yourextension-uninstall.sh) that you must execute on both your server and Magento root directory.

Once the uninstallation is over, refresh your cache and enable the compiler back again (if you use it).

Before installing Order Eraser, you’ll have to:

  • Backup your Magento installation in:
    system  tools   backups
  • Disable the compiler in your Magento admin panel if it’s not already disabled:
    system  tools   COMPILATIONS
  • Refresh your cache in:
    systemselect cache typeactionsrefreshsubmit


Now you can install Order Eraser:

  1. Download Order Eraser (zip file) from:
    my account my downloads
    Refer to FAQ here: Extensions download
  2. Once Order Eraser is downloaded, open the folder and unzip it.
  3. Copy the content of the unzip folder and paste all files and directories in your Magento root directory (the folder content can vary according to the extension but it generally includes app, lib and skin folders).

  4. Once your installation is complete, don't forget to enable the compiler back (if it was already enabled before the installation) and run compilation process.
  5. Refresh your cache, logout from your admin panel and log back in right after.

Next step is to activate your license, to do so, click here: Extension activation

Modules activation

Once Order Eraser is installed, you have to activate the license: 

  1. Go to your Magento admin panel. A message pops up at the top of the page.

    If the message doesn't appear then you must check that:

    Wyomind's License Manager has not been removed from your installation.
    Wyomind's License Manager is enabled in: app/etc/modules/Wyomind_Licensemanager.xml
    The HTML output for Wyomind_Licensemanager and/or Adminhtml_Notification are not disabled in your system under: system   configuration  advanced advanced

  2. Copy your activation key.

    You can find your activation key in 2 different places:
    - In the confirmation email that you received after purchasing Order Eraser
    - In your Wyomind account:MY ACcount My downloads, select Order Eraser and click on  . A new page opens where you'll find your activation key (see below).
  3. In your Magento admin go to:
    SysteMConfigurationWyomindYour extension

    Paste the activation key in the Activation Key field and choose between the automatic (yes) or the manual (no) activation method:
    - By choosing Yes, the connection to Wyomind license server will be automatic. 
    - By choosing No, you will have to log on to Wyomind license server yourself.


  4. Save the configuration.
  5. Clear your caches. 
  6. A message appears at the top of your admin panel: Activate it now!  Click on that link.

  7. Copy and paste the license code in the License code field from your admin or simply click on Activate now! 
  8. Finally, refresh your cache, log out and log back in straight after, to complete the installation.

To activate the license of an extension that includes other modules, you’ll have to repeat the steps described above for each extension, using the corresponding activation keys (each module has its own activation key).

Troubleshooting

If you're getting a white page using the extension, you should enable the error reporting in order to display the error. You can do that from index.php.

Very useful extention

Very useful extention. I don't understand, why Magento team doesn't use this functionality by default. Order Eraser allows you to simply clean your sales database

Nice Tool, But Invoices & Shipments Are Not Being Deleted

I tried your too, and it works very nice. All of my orders were deleted quickly, but the invoices & shipment records still stay. I tried re-indexing, and cleaning the cache but no help. I used it on Magento 2.2.3.

Extension worked straight away, excellent job! I have seen may extensions that do this that cost money, it's awesome this developer is giving it away for free! Had my test orders deleted within seconds of installing extension!

Working as described

Simple and easy.
Working as expected in the admin panel.
I tested it on my testing server.
Yet to deploy in the production site.
Recommended.
But still need to check data in the underlying tables.

Perfect

It worked very well in the latest version of magento. My version 1.9.2.4

WilsonBS

25th April 2016

Good but it has a permission problem

The module is good but it has a permission problem in Magento 1.9.2.4: The class Wyomind_Orderseraser_Adminhtml_OrderseraserController must override the _isAllowed method so not superadmin users can access the order deleting functionality.
The solution is to add this code in the class:
protected function _isAllowed() {
return Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->isAllowed('sales/order/actions/delete');
}
As a suggestion, It would be useful to have a confirmation dialog in the mass action as well, and some configuration option to disable the module.
Anyway, in general it is good.

Worked For me!

This really helped me out, as a magento newbie, couldn't find where to remove/delete orders. Google search suggested writing scripts, or accessing the various tables, which I wasn't confident in implementing.
We had lots of test orders which we didn't want to leave in place and I'm not sure why delete isn't an option right out of the box, but this plugin works and I now have a clean orders dashboard!
I'm running CE version 1.9.4 and it's installed and worked for me.

18th March 2016

Very useful extension.

It works like a charm! Successfully removed test orders in few seconds. One thing that I would like to suggest to Wyomind to make enable/disable feature. Thanks

Action "Delete orders" doesn't show

I installed it, I checked if the extension is enabled and it is. When I go to orders and want to select Delete orders the action doesn't appear in drop box.
Did I miss something?
I am using Magento 1.9.2.0
Thanks

Works perfectly as described

Only feedback I would leave, is that even after the orders are deleted, their values still stay in the sales reports. So the deleted orders still stay in your sales totals essentially. So referring to the Reports > Sales > Orders section in admin area. They don't appear on your dashboard totals. Deleted fine from that.

There was no problem with the installation, I did everything that required but there is no delete option. Even in this extention screenshots does not show that option. So, it didn't work for me. Sad.

Not working in 1.9.0 CE

Extension installs without any problem. But there is no option to delete the orders when we go to the Sales Orders Menu. Tried logging out and back in, clearing cache, etc. Nothing seems to get the extension to work.. Would love to use this as it is a much needed feature.

Good entension

Does what it does, and does it good. I tried a few of 'deleting order' extensions, this one works the best so far. The only thing i do really miss, is that the order ID isn't corrected after deleting a order.
For example: i delete order #4, and i make an new order it is being numbered as #5. It should be #4, at least that would be great. Isn't that possible?

Quick, easy, and bug free!

I was looking for a simple extension to delete 8 of my test orders when I set up PayPal Sandbox. Now that my website is live, I wanted to delete these orders and just have the real customer orders appear.
1. Install
2. Logout and log back in
3. Go to Sales Orders
4. Select the orders you want to delete by giving them a check mark.
5. Select Delete from the Actions menu and hit Submit.
Fast, free, and easy!

18th July 2014

Easy to install and it did exactly what I needed it to do.

I'm not tech savvy in the slightest but I found it very easy to install Orders Eraser and I used it to delete test (and cancelled) orders within minutes of installation.
I had read most of the reviews here before installing and followed the advice of several reviewers to log out and log back in afterwards.
Can't understand why it's not already possible to do as a basic function of the ordering system but yours is perfect until that time. I am grateful you created this extension. You need to charge money for it! It is well worth it!

KateBDE

8th July 2014

Does exactly what it says

Tried the first extension found on a Google search which said I needed an older version of PHP to use. This one was the third one down in the search and was installed and deleted my orders within 10 minutes. Very easy to use and did exactly what it says it does.

Great and reliable extension

Does what it has to do: delte orders and reset the statics. It still is weird that this very logical option does not come standard with Magento. Maybe in later releases.
Good work!

works in 1.7 except for orders in sales_order_tax table

Hi this works fine in CE1.7.02 but just one thing...taxes in the sales_order_tax table relating to orders deleted are not getting deleted.
But other than that it works great thanks. Remember after installing it to log off and on again.

Awesome Tool

I had a hard time to delete orders, etc, as I don't see the "delete" option after installation. I disabled 'compilation' > reinstalled and did a logoff/on process. Finally, it works like a champ. Many thanks to WYOMIND, and special thanks to all reviewers.

Very Great Extension

I've reviewed the code of some order deletion extensions and this module was the best one in my opinion.
It was cleanly written, very compatible and works like a charm.
Thanks for this great module!

4th January 2014

Worked exactly as described in CE 1.8.1

Worked a dream on CE 1.8.1
Personally I would have liked an "are you sure?" confirmation, but the need to click "Submit" is probably good enough.
Can't recommend this highly enough. I just love it when something does it's intended purpose without drama.

29th December 2013

Works very well, completely

Deletes the order totally. The only thing we had to do was disable an extended order grid / bulk status module first, delete the orders then re-enable. Doesnt take long.

In the future perhaps can add select all? Coz deleting 6000 order with only select visible option is tiring :)

budiks01

16th July 2013

Works very well

Integrates nicely and works as it should. Delete records by either checkbox and an action or with a new column next to the View column. That was a worry, but there is a confirmation dialogue so you won't try to view and accidentally delete. No support was required. Highly recommended.

Tried another module but whilst it removed orders from the database it still left them on the dashboard etc. uninstalled that, installed this and job done, all cleaned up as hoped for.

Easy to install and works great

We had tried another "order deletion" extension first—it deleted the orders from the database but not the order listing. We uninstalled that extension, installed Order Eraser, and were able to completely erase the orders (including the ones that had already been "deleted").
