WooCommerce is a cool e-commerce plugin and powers many sites.
Here is how to retrieve some of the recent WooCommerce orders.
You can pull orders from today, last 7 days, last 30 days, current month or last year.

[code]
// today
$after_date = date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime('now') );

// Last 7 days
$after_date = date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime('-7 days') );

// Last 30 days
$after_date = date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days') );

// This month
$after_date = date( 'Y-m-01', strtotime('now') );

// This year
$after_date = date( 'Y-01-01', strtotime('now') );

// 0 today
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'shop_order',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 250, // or -1 for all
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'shop_order_status',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array('completed')
),
),
);

$args['date_query'] = array(
'after' => $after_date, //'2012-04-01',
'inclusive' => true,
);

$orders = get_posts($args);
[/code]

The result looks like this.
[code]
array (
0 =>
WP_Post::__set_state(array(
'ID' => 104,
'post_author' => '1',
'post_date' => '2014-10-12 02:06:00',
