php - How do I know if the user is a customer?

I'm using Woocommerce and Dokan latest version. I need to check if the user is a customer of that vendor. In this way, I will show the customer some information about that product or seller. First I thought of using localstorage but realized that there is no product-specific assignment. So I think this method won't work.

So how can I know this and take action accordingly?

• How does WooCommerce store the relationship between customers and vendors? Would you have to look through your current users's order history to get a list of vendors that they are customers of? (If you do, I'd cache that in a transient, and make sure you clear it / update it on a new order.) But I think you probably want to do this on the server side, not the client side, unless you're assembling the page by AJAX? (I don't know Dokan) – Rup Commented Jun 14, 2021 at 13:18
