What it does
Running a WooCommerce store usually means checking the dashboard often to see new orders, stock problems or fresh reviews. If your team already talks in Slack, that means switching between tools all day. This plugin sends those events to Slack as they happen. It covers seven notification types: new posts, new orders, backorders, low stock, out of stock, new customers and new reviews. Each one can go to a different channel, so fulfillment, inventory and customer care staff each see the alerts that matter to them.
You can set a separate channel and emoji for every event type, which makes alerts easy to tell apart at a glance. The message text is editable, and merge tags let you pull order details into order notifications. Extended notifications add more detail, such as order line items or the content of a review, so routine checks can happen inside Slack. Developers can extend the plugin through filter hooks, including order attachment hooks in extended notifications. It requires WooCommerce.
Best for
- WooCommerce store teams that coordinate work in Slack
- Shop owners who want instant order and stock alerts
- Agencies managing client stores with shared Slack workspaces

Custom emoji for alerts
Assign a specific emoji to each event type so your team can recognize what kind of alert arrived before reading the message.
Editable message text
Write the wording of each notification yourself to match how your team communicates, using merge tags to insert order details.
Extended notifications
Include extra detail in Slack, such as order line items or the text of a product review, without opening the WooCommerce dashboard.
