Description
Unknown to many, WooCommerce captures the device/platform, browser and browser version used by a customer when an order is placed, this is known as the user agent string. This useful information is currently not shown anywhere in the WooCommerce plugin.
**Friendly User Agent for WooCommerce* simply displays this information as a new column on the Orders page and within the Edit Order page. You can then see what customers are using what devices and browsers.
