Using PingBell
How to receive notifications from WooCommerce with PingBell
Install the PingBell WordPress plugin — connect your store with a short code and the webhooks wire themselves.
Install the WordPress plugin
- Install PingBell for WooCommerce from the WordPress plugin directory and activate it.
- The plugin sends you to PingBell with a short connect code. Sign in (or sign up — it’s the same email-link flow) and you land on a Connect your store page.
- Tick which store events should ring the bell — new orders powers both the order count and revenue; completed orders and add-to-carts are there if you want them — and click Connect store.
- Done. Your WordPress admin picks it up from there and wires the webhooks by itself. A source is created per event you picked, named after your store.
From there it’s the usual spine: the counters are ready to drop onto a board, and any paired screen can show it.
Test it
Place a test order in your store — the bell rings, the counter ticks, and the event shows on your Activity page within seconds.
Prefer Zapier?
WooCommerce also has Zapier triggers. Create a source in PingBell, and in your Zap use the PingBell action with your API key.
