Ploq Webhooks

Description

WooCommerce’s built-in webhooks have no retries, no delivery log, and no replay button — when one silently fails, you usually don’t find out until a customer complains.

Ploq Webhooks connects your site to Ploq, a webhook delivery service with automatic retries, HMAC signing, and full delivery logs. Pick from ready-made WooCommerce and WordPress event sources with a checkbox, or map any custom WordPress hook — no code required.

Sending

  • Turn 25+ ready-made WooCommerce and WordPress events — orders, products, customers, posts, users, comments, plugins/themes — into reliable webhooks with a checkbox, enriched with real order/customer/post details, not just an ID.
  • Map any other WordPress action hook to a webhook with a guided form — no JSON or code editing.
  • See every delivery attempt, success or failure, right in your WordPress dashboard.

Receiving

  • Register this site as a webhook endpoint for any Ploq-powered service.
  • Signatures are verified automatically; your theme or another plugin reacts via a single ploq_webhook_received action.

Requires a free or paid Ploq account and an Application with an API key.

External Services

This plugin connects to the Ploq API to deliver and verify webhooks. It is a connector for the Ploq webhook delivery service and does nothing until you create a Ploq account, enter an API key and App ID, and enable at least one event source or the receiver.

What is sent, and when:

  • When an enabled event source fires (or you click “Trigger test message” or “Resend”), the plugin sends the configured event type and payload fields to the Ploq API. Depending on which sources you enable, this can include order IDs and refund IDs; order details such as customer email, total, currency, status, and a plain-text summary of line items; product name, SKU, price, and stock level; user/customer email, username, and display name; post title, permalink, and author; comment author, email, excerpt, and the related post title; or the arguments of any custom hook you map. Every event also includes a timestamp of when it fired.
  • When you click “Test Connection”, the plugin sends the API key and App ID you entered to verify they work.
  • Every request is authenticated with your API key and goes to https://api.useploq.com by default, or the API base URL you configure in Settings.

The plugin sends no analytics, telemetry, or tracking data, and it never contacts Ploq (or any other external server) on sites where it has not been configured.

This service is provided by Ploq: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.

  2. Activate it.

FAQ

Do I need a Ploq account?

Yes — create an Application and an app-scoped API key at https://useploq.com first, then paste the key into this plugin.

Does this slow down checkout?

Outbound sends happen synchronously with a short timeout, the same as WooCommerce’s own native webhooks. A future version may move sending to a background queue.

Where are my API key and webhook secret stored?

Encrypted in the WordPress database, using a key derived from your site’s own unique AUTH_KEY/AUTH_SALT values (defined in wp-config.php) — never stored in plaintext.
