About this plugin
Deferred Revenue Tracker for WooCommerce helps WooCommerce stores track deferred revenue and recognize it over time instead of treating the full order amount as revenue immediately.
The plugin automatically creates revenue recognition schedules for eligible orders and gives you a clear view of how much revenue has been recognized and how much remains deferred.
It is useful for stores selling memberships, service contracts, prepaid services, annual plans, warranties, maintenance packages, courses, and other products or services where revenue should be recognized over multiple accounting periods.
How It Works
Configure the revenue recognition schedule for your products, and the plugin automatically creates the corresponding schedule when an eligible WooCommerce order is processed.
For example, if you sell a $1,200 annual service and configure a 12-month recognition period, the plugin can create a schedule recognizing $100 of revenue per month.
This allows you to track:
- Total revenue scheduled for recognition
- Revenue already recognized
- Revenue still deferred
- Individual recognition dates and amounts
- Revenue recognition schedules for individual orders
