Inactive Customer Manager for OpenCart – Automate Customer Cleanup

Problem Statement:

Over time, customer databases in OpenCart stores accumulate inactive users, leading to:

• Unnecessary data clutter, affecting performance
• Increased processing time for database queries
• Unwanted marketing emails sent to inactive users
• A lack of control over outdated customer records

Manually managing inactive accounts is inefficient, making this extension essential for store owners who want to maintain a clean and efficient database.

Purpose of the Extension:

The primary purpose of this extension is to automate customer management in OpenCart by identifying, disabling, and removing inactive accounts. This helps store owners maintain an optimized and clutter-free database, enhancing store performance and marketing efficiency.

Features:

• Automatically disables customers based on their activity or order data
• Deletes inactive customers after they have been disabled for a specified number of days
• Configurable threshold to define the number of days before deletion
• Option to exclude customers who have placed orders from automatic deletion
• Bulk disable inactive customers manually from the extension dashboard
• Generate detailed reports of inactive customers before taking action
• Cron job support for automatic execution at scheduled intervals
