SkyAI builds WooCommerce plugins for order-status notifications (email/WhatsApp/SMS) and FedEx/UPS/USPS shipping labels. Free tiers plus $18/mo Pro plans.
SkyAI is a small WordPress/WooCommerce plugin studio run by developer Shlomo Menashe. The site currently showcases two commercial plugins for WooCommerce store owners. Order Status for WooCommerce lets merchants create unlimited custom order statuses with color-coded badges and trigger automatic notifications by email, WhatsApp, or SMS (the latter two via a connected Twilio account), plus an order activity log and WooCommerce HPOS compatibility. ShipSmart for WooCommerce lets merchants print FedEx, UPS, and USPS shipping labels directly from WooCommerce orders using their own carrier accounts, with auto-filled addresses and automatic tracking updates. Both plugins ship as freemium products: a free version distributed through the official WordPress.org plugin directory, and a Pro version ($18/month or $180/year, with a 30-day free trial requiring no credit card) sold and licensed through Freemius, a third-party WordPress plugin billing platform.
