Total Orders Placed Today – OpenCart Plugin

Problem Statement:

By default, OpenCart does not provide a way to see how many orders a customer has placed on the same day. This can make it difficult to identify frequent buyers, detect potential fraud, or track repeat orders. Total Orders Placed Today solves this problem by displaying the count directly on the order list page.
