About this plugin
RT Slack Channel Notifications for WooCommerce connects your WooCommerce store to Slack, delivering instant order alerts, status change notifications, and inventory warnings straight to your team’s Slack channel — so you never miss a sale or a stock event.
Whether you run a small shop or a high-volume store, staying on top of every order and stock movement is critical. This plugin bridges WooCommerce and Slack with zero coding required: just paste your Slack Incoming Webhook URL and choose which events to track.
Why Use Slack Notifications for WooCommerce?
Manual order checking wastes time and delays fulfillment. With real-time Slack alerts your team reacts the moment something happens — faster fulfillment, fewer stockouts, happier customers.
Key Features
- New Order Notifications — Receive an instant Slack message with Order ID, total amount, and customer name the moment a customer places an order.
- Order Status Change Alerts — Track every order milestone from Pending to Completed with a clear before → after status update in Slack.
- Low Stock Warnings — Get notified in Slack when a product stock level drops below your WooCommerce low-stock threshold, before you run out.
- Out of Stock Alerts — Immediately know when a product hits zero stock so you can reorder or hide it from your store.
- Per-Event Controls — Enable or disable each notification type independently — only get the alerts that matter to your workflow.
- Master On/Off Toggle — Pause all notifications at once without losing your settings (useful during maintenance or sales events).
- Test Connection Button — Verify your Slack Webhook URL is working with a single click directly from the settings page.
- Built-in Webhook Guide — Step-by-step instructions for creating a Slack Incoming Webhook URL are shown right on the settings page.
- HPOS Compatible — Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (Custom Order Tables).
- Lightweight & Secure — No third-party services, no account required beyond Slack. Webhook URL is sanitized and all AJAX calls are nonce-verified.
