A push notification for every WooCommerce order, on every team phone.
If you run WooCommerce, you already know the WordPress world’s biggest frustration: you’ve stitched together a great store from a dozen plugins, but you still find out about new orders by obsessively refreshing the “Orders” screen. There’s no native push, no sound, and nothing that reaches your team in real time.
PingBell’s WooCommerce plugin fixes that. Install it, activate it, enter your account ID, and every order fires three things at once: a push notification with a custom sound on every team phone, a live counter that updates on the office TV, and a point on a real-time graph. No code. No webhook wiring. Drop-in WordPress plugin.
Who this is for
- WooCommerce store owners who want to know the moment an order comes in — on their phone, not by refreshing the admin.
- Agencies managing client WooCommerce stores who want to install once and have a real-time dashboard per client.
- Multi-location or multi-seller stores running WooCommerce with a team that needs to see orders across a floor or warehouse.
- WordPress-first businesses (membership sites, nonprofits running donations through Woo, course creators selling through LearnDash) where Woo handles the transaction but the team isn’t always in wp-admin.
How PingBell solves it
Native WordPress plugin. Install from the WordPress plugin directory. Activate. Paste your PingBell account ID. Done. The plugin subscribes to WooCommerce’s order-paid action hook and sends events to PingBell automatically. No webhook URLs to configure. No cron to manage.
Push notifications with 70+ built-in sounds. Every order rings the sound of your choice on every team phone, iPhone or Android. Pick a different sound per counter so the team can tell what just happened without looking at the screen.
Live counter on the office TV. Same plugin, zero extra setup. PingBell’s counter runs on a streaming stick, an Apple TV, or any Android TV — so your office TV becomes a live revenue board without a dedicated computer driving it.
Real-time graph. Every order plots on a time-series. Set a daily goal, see the trend, know at a glance whether today is on pace.
Setup in 5 minutes
- Install the PingBell WooCommerce plugin. Go to your WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → search “PingBell”. Click Install, then Activate.
- Paste your PingBell account ID. Create a free PingBell account at

- Install the PingBell app on every team phone. iOS App Store or Google Play. Each team member signs in with the shared PingBell account.
- Optional: plug in a Fire Stick for the office TV. Install the PingBell TV app, scan the QR code with your mobile app, select the counter.

FAQ
How does the WooCommerce plugin connect to PingBell?
The plugin hooks into WooCommerce’s woocommerce_order_status_completed (and optionally woocommerce_order_status_processing) actions. When an order transitions to those states, the plugin POSTs the order payload to your PingBell account. All plugin-server communication is HTTPS.
Does it work with variable products, subscriptions, and other Woo extensions?
Yes. The plugin captures the same fields Woo stores on the order: total, line items, customer, shipping country, tax, currency, and any custom meta you’ve added. Subscriptions (WooCommerce Subscriptions) fire on both initial purchase and renewal, if you enable the option.
Will this slow down my site?
No. The plugin’s main-request work is a single database read and an async HTTPS POST — typically under 100ms and done in a shutdown hook so it doesn’t block the user’s page load.
Does it work with WP-CLI and staging sites?
Yes, but we recommend disabling the notification action on staging sites to avoid test orders firing real pushes. The plugin settings screen has a “Disable on staging” toggle that respects common staging hostnames.
Can I route notifications to specific team members based on the order?
Yes. On Plus and Pro plans, create multiple counters with different filters (e.g. “Orders over $500”, “First-time customer”, “Product category: Premium”) and route each to different team members.
Does it support WooCommerce Memberships / Groups?
Yes. Membership purchase and renewal events fire the same action hooks, so they trigger PingBell identically. You can filter the counter to specific membership tiers.
Can I use it without the WordPress plugin (e.g. via Zapier)?
Yes. We recommend the native plugin for speed and reliability, but Zapier has a “New WooCommerce order” trigger that can POST to a PingBell webhook endpoint as a fallback.
