Customer History for WooCommerce builds a clean audit trail per customer. Every relevant event is appended to wt_customer_history with an event_type such as registered, order_placed, order_completed, refunded, or login, a customer_id, an optional order_id, a created_at timestamp, and event-specific JSON in a meta column. The plugin admin shows the trail per customer, which is exactly what support agents need and exactly the wrong shape for understanding cohort behavior.

SleekView Charts reads the same wt_customer_history table and joins to wc_orders and wc_customer_lookup when the question is bigger than one customer. A horizontal Bar of top event types by volume. A Donut of one-time versus repeat buyers from the order_completed count per customer. A Number of average lifetime value across the active cohort. An Area chart of daily new-customer registrations from the event_type filter.

The plugin admin keeps owning the per-customer drilldown, which is what support uses to handle a refund call. SleekView Charts adds the reading layer marketing and growth actually want: how the event-type mix shifts over time, what share of customers ever come back, and how LTV moves week over week, all read directly from the plugin's event log without exporting CSVs.

Customer History for WooCommerce captures the exact log most stores wish they had: every customer event, time-stamped, with the order or user it relates to. The reading side is the missing piece, because the admin lays the data out per customer, which is perfect for support and useless for cohort understanding. SleekView Charts reads the same wt_customer_history table and turns it into chart cards on one saved dashboard.

Growth sees event mix and daily registrations. Finance sees average LTV and top-customer bars. Support keeps the per-customer trail in the plugin admin where it belongs.

The result is one shared dashboard the whole team reads first thing in the morning, scoped per role, embeddable on a frontend page for account managers, and queried against the live event log so the numbers never lag the orders table.
