Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Gravatars 1.0.5
Description
Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Gravatars is a WordPress enhancement for stores built on Easy Digital Downloads. It adds visual customer identity by showing Gravatar images for people who make purchases. This helps reduce ambiguity in admin views and improves the overall experience when managing buyers and order records. When used with the WordPress Gravatar system, your store can display real user avatars without changing your existing Easy Digital Downloads setup.
By linking each purchase to the customer’s email address and rendering the corresponding Gravatar, the plugin makes it easier to spot returning buyers and review transactions at a glance. It’s useful for WordPress sites that rely on clean presentation in WooCommerce-style workflows, without needing custom development.
