Problem: If no items are found in a View of WooCommerce Orders, I would like to automatically refresh the View results after a set amount of time.

Solution: There is no automatic feature for refreshing View results, nor is there a true JavaScript API for Views, but you could achieve something similar by reloading the current page in a setTimeout function added to a script tag in the wpv-no-items-found block of the View, for example:

[wpv-no-items-found]
    <strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
    <script type="text/javascript">setTimeout(function(){location.reload();}, 5000);</script>
[/wpv-no-items-found]

This will reload the current page after 5 seconds if no results are found in the View. That loop of refreshing every 5 seconds would continue until results exist.
