Putler pulls orders, refunds, and customers from WooCommerce (wp_posts (post_type=shop_order) plus wp_postmeta), Easy Digital Downloads (wp_edd_orders + wp_edd_order_items), and Stripe charges into a hosted dashboard. The data is rich, but every drill-down lives in a separate tool behind another login.

SleekView reads the same WooCommerce and EDD tables directly. Orders surface as rows with status, total, currency, payment method, and the customer email, joined to wp_users and wp_usermeta for lifetime value. For HPOS sites, wp_wc_orders is queried instead. Filters stack across status, country, refund state, and customer segment in one panel.

Edits route through WooCommerce's wc_update_order and EDD's own CRUD layer, so refunds, notes, and status changes fire the same hooks the native admin uses. Putler's hosted dashboard stays useful for cross-store roll-ups, while day-to-day operations stay inside WP Admin where the team already works.

Most stores running both WooCommerce and EDD do it because each plugin is good at one specific thing: WooCommerce for physical goods, EDD for digital downloads. The cost of that split is that orders live in wp_posts (post_type=shop_order) for Woo and wp_edd_orders for EDD, with no shared admin screen. Putler solved this by aggregating both into a hosted dashboard, which is excellent for cross-currency reporting but adds a second login, a recurring subscription, and a context switch for every order action.

SleekView reads the same tables locally and treats them as one queryable surface. Cross-source order grids, customer LTV joins, and refund triage all happen inside WP Admin where the team already works. Inline edits route through WooCommerce's wc_update_order and EDD's order helpers, so the native hooks still fire and HPOS shadow writes stay consistent.

The hosted dashboard remains useful for executive roll-ups, but the day-to-day work stops needing it.
