This plugin connects your WordPress site to the ShopMonitor.io service and shows the connection status, detected integrations, and monitoring links directly in your WordPress admin. #### Key Features * **Connection Status**: See at a glance whether your site is connected to ShopMonitor. io — right from the WordPress admin and dashboard widget * **WooCommerce Checkout Monitoring**: Automated end-to-end tests for add-to-cart flows and the full checkout process, including both classic and block-based checkouts * **Contact Form Testing**: Automatically test form submissions and verify that emails are delivered — supports Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, Forminator, and WS Form * **Login Flow Monitoring**: Automated checks for your WordPress login area * **Form tests**: track whether confirmation emails were successfully sent during ShopMonitor test runs and report the result via the monitoring API * **Form Integration Detection**: The plugin detects which form plugins are active and shows their names so ShopMonitor knows what to test * **Direct Links**: Quick links to the ShopMonitor.io web app to view monitoring runs, history, and results * **Spam & Captcha Bypass**: Automatically bypasses spam protection and captcha checks (e.g. Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha, CleanTalk, reCAPTCHA) during ShopMonitor test runs, so automated tests are not blocked #### Benefits * **Catch Issues Early**: Know about broken checkouts, failed form submissions, or login problems before your customers do * **Peace of Mind**: Continuous automated monitoring means you always know your shop is working * **No Manual Testing**: Stop clicking through your own checkout to verify it works— ShopMonitor does it for you * **Easy Setup**: No API key required in WordPress — just install, activate, and connect via the ShopMonitor.io web app #### How It Works 1.

It does not transmit your WooCommerce catalog or customer data to ShopMonitor.io. During automated monitoring runs, ShopMonitor.io connects to your site from the outside and simulates customer actions (e.g. adding a product to cart or submitting a form). No personal customer data is collected or stored by the plugin as part of this process. ### External services This plugin connects to the ShopMonitor.io service to display connection status and to enable automated monitoring of your website. **What data is sent and when:** * The plugin may request the ShopMonitor.io public key from the configured API URL to verify inbound requests from the monitoring service* During automated test runs initiated by ShopMonitor.io, the service connects to your site and interacts with your store or forms as a real visitor would — no customer data from your store is sent outbound **Service provider information:** * **Service**: ShopMonitor.io * **Website**: [https://www.shopmonitor.io](https://www.shopmonitor.io) * **Default API domain**:` https://api.shopmonitor.io` * **Web app**: `https://app.shopmonitor.io` * **Purpose**: Automated outside-in monitoring of WooCommerce checkout flows, contact forms, and login areas * **Privacy Policy**: [https://www.winning-solutions.de/datenschutzerklaerung](https://www.winning-solutions.de/datenschutzerklaerung) ## Screenshots [⌊WordPress dashboard widget — connection status and active integrations⌉⌊WordPress dashboard widget — connection status and active integrations⌉[ WordPress dashboard widget — connection status and active integrations [⌊ShopMonitor admin page — connection status and detected form plugins⌉⌊ShopMonitor admin page — connection status and detected form plugins⌉[ ShopMonitor admin page — connection status and detected form plugins [⌊ShopMonitor.io web app — monitoring runs and results overview⌉⌊ShopMonitor.io web app — monitoring runs and results overview⌉[ ShopMonitor.io web app — monitoring runs and results overview [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `wp-content/plugins/shopmonitorio` or install the ZIP file in the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Log in to [ShopMonitor.io](https://app.shopmonitor.io) and add your website to start monitoring. ## FAQ ### Do I need an API key in WordPress? No. You manage everything through your normal ShopMonitor.io account login. The plugin shows local connection and integration information only — no API key is required in WordPress itself. ### What does ShopMonitor.io actually test? ShopMonitor.io simulates real customer behaviour on your site — it can test your WooCommerce add-to-cart and checkout flow, contact form submissions and your WordPress login area. All tests run from outside your server, just like a real visitor. ### Does the plugin work without WooCommerce? Yes. The connection status display, dashboard widget, and form testing features work without WooCommerce. WooCommerce-specific checkout monitoring requires WooCommerce to be active. ### Will automated test runs interfere with my real orders or form submissions? No. ShopMonitor test runs are clearly tagged internally and are automatically cleaned up after each test. Test orders created during monitoring are removed and never appear in your real order history. ### Does the plugin send any of my shop or customer data to ShopMonitor.io? No. The plugin does not transmit your WooCommerce orders, customer records, cart contents, or product catalog to ShopMonitor.io. The admin screens read integration information locally within WordPress. ### What happens if a test detects a problem? You will be alerted via the ShopMonitor.io web app. You can configure notification preferences (email, etc.) in your ShopMonitor.io account settings. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ShopMonitor.io – Automated Checkout & Form Monitoring” is open source software.
