What it does
Running a digital products store usually means checking the WordPress dashboard again and again to see what has happened. This plugin moves those updates into Slack, where many teams already talk and work. When someone buys a product, registers as a customer, completes a payment or receives a refund, a message appears in Slack so the right people hear about it without opening the store admin.
You decide which Slack channels receive which alerts. Sales updates can go to one channel and refund notices to another, so each group sees the information that matters to them. Notifications are added and edited from an admin screen in WordPress, and setup requires no coding. It fits stores of any size that sell with Easy Digital Downloads and coordinate their work in Slack.
Best for
- Digital product sellers using Easy Digital Downloads
- Store teams that coordinate their daily work in Slack
- Shops wanting separate channels for sales and refund alerts
Features
New order alerts
Each new purchase in your Easy Digital Downloads store triggers a message in Slack, so your team learns about sales as they happen.
Customer registration notices
Get a Slack notification when a new customer signs up, which helps you keep track of who is joining your store.
Payment and refund updates
Slack messages tell you when a payment is completed or a refund is issued, keeping money matters visible to the people who handle them.
Channel selection per alert
Choose which Slack channels receive specific notifications, so each team gets relevant updates without extra noise from unrelated store events.
Admin screen for notifications
Add and edit your Slack notifications from a dedicated interface inside the WordPress admin, with no code needed to set them up.
Fewer trips to the dashboard
Store events arrive in Slack, so you can follow activity in the tool your team already uses instead of switching back to WordPress.
Questions about EDD - Slack
Which store events can send messages to Slack?
The plugin can notify you about new orders, new customer registrations, completed payments and issued refunds. Each of these events can post a message to Slack, so you can follow store activity without logging in to the WordPress dashboard.
Can different alerts go to different Slack channels?
Yes. You choose which Slack channels receive specific notifications. For example, you could send new orders to a sales channel and refund notices to a channel your accounts team watches, so each group only sees what applies to them.
Do I need to write code to set up the notifications?
No coding is required. Notifications are added and edited through an admin interface in WordPress, where you connect your store to Slack and pick the events and channels you want to use.
Does this plugin work with stores that are not built on Easy Digital Downloads?
It is built specifically for Easy Digital Downloads stores, and it sends that store's events to Slack. If your shop runs on a different ecommerce plugin, this extension would not apply to it.
Is EDD - Slack free?
The code of EDD - Slack is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.

Version 1.2.0, released Jun 24, 2025. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
