Order Notification for WooCommerce helps store owners instantly know when a new order is placed by playing an audio alert on their device. No more refreshing the WooCommerce dashboard or constantly checking order status — get notified in real time as soon as an order is received.

Instant sound alerts make tracking new orders very easy for my busy schedule! Thanks.

Working kind of fine on dekstop. Horrible user interface. Not working at all on tablet or phone. We tried to use it for a fast food ordering business, and wanted to play a sound everytime a order came in. Nothing. No settings fixed the notification. It just does not play any sound. Tried with all browsers I could think of. We have the PRO version.

My apology for the previous review. The plugin’s working great. There was a conflict with another plugin made it stop working.

vampyris February 8, 2024

Unfortunately this plugin doesn’t work, I tested this on a basic WooCommerce installation so I don’t think it’s a plugin or theme conflict. Too bad, because it’s a good idea in theory. Hopefully a future version will fix this issue.,

No way to get this plugin running. No sound upload possible. Documention link dead. Zeitverschwendung!
