The fastest way to know when your Shopify store takes an order is to stop refreshing the dashboard and let PingBell tell you. Every order you make rings a bell on every team phone, ticks a counter on the office TV, and adds a point to a real-time graph — all from a single Shopify webhook.
There are now two ways to connect Shopify to PingBell: the official PingBell Shopify App (one-click install, recommended for most stores) or a direct webhook (covered below for stores that prefer manual control).
Requirements: a PingBell account and a Shopify store.
Step 1: Create a PingBell account
Visit PingBell.io and sign up for a free account.
Step 2: Create your first PingBell
Once logged in, click the Create PingBell button in the middle of the dashboard.
Step 3: Configure your notification
Name the PingBell (“Shopify Sales”, “New Orders”, or whatever you’ll recognize), set a notification message (“New sale!”, “Order created!”, “Cha-ching!”), and pick a sound from PingBell’s library of 70+ built-in options.
Step 4: Invite your team (optional)
To loop in teammates, add their PingBell username or email. They’ll get a notification on their own phones every time the bell rings — no extra seat charges.
Step 5: Open your Shopify Dashboard
Sign in to Shopify Admin.
Step 6: Find Notification settings
In the bottom-left of the Shopify Admin sidebar, click Settings and find the Notifications section.
Step 7: Find webhook settings
Scroll to the bottom of the Notifications page. You’ll see a Webhooks section. Click Create webhook.
Step 8: Copy your PingBell URL
Switch back to PingBell, click the three dots next to your PingBell, and select Copy URL.
Step 9: Fill in the webhook form
In Shopify, name the webhook, select the event you want to be notified about (most stores choose Order creation or Order paid), paste your PingBell URL into the URL field, and click Save.
Step 10: You’re done
Every time the chosen event fires on Shopify, your PingBell rings — on every team phone, every browser tab, and every TV with the PingBell app installed. Test it with a $0 product or a webhook ping to confirm.
Want it even simpler?
If 10 steps is 9 too many, install the official PingBell Shopify App instead. One-click auth, automatic webhook setup, no manual URL pasting.
