See what Instant Order Notification for WooCommerce (The WP Craft) does, its real-time & WhatsApp alert features, pricing from $2.9, and FAQs before you buy.
Instant Order Notification for WooCommerce is a self-serve WordPress plugin built by The WP Craft for WooCommerce store owners who want to know about new orders the instant they happen, without refreshing the admin dashboard. The plugin adds real-time order detection with a popup showing order details, an audio alert (with a custom audio manager supporting multiple uploaded sound slots), desktop browser notifications, and dashboard summary cards that track Today, Processing, Completed, and Cancelled order counts. The orders table auto-refreshes and supports pagination, and the whole admin UI is responsive.
On top of the core alerting, the plugin includes a WhatsApp notification module (via Twilio) that can be filtered by minimum order price, specific products, product categories, or product tags, so store owners only get pinged for orders that matter to them. The product is actively maintained — the changelog shows releases through July 2026 adding features like custom notification sound slots and refined WhatsApp filtering — and is sold directly from thewpcraft.com with Freemius-powered checkout, instant download/license-key delivery, and a 100% money-back guarantee.

Cons
Single-purpose plugin scoped only to WooCommerce order alerts, not a broader store-management suite
WhatsApp notifications rely on Twilio, an external dependency for that feature
