CashFlowCanary Checkout Monitor

CashFlowCanary runs continuous WooCommerce checkout monitoring for stores and agencies that cannot afford silent checkout, cart or payment failures. The plugin connects your store to CashFlowCanary, exposes protected internal health signals, and shows live monitor status directly in WordPress admin.

Use it to detect issues that generic uptime checks miss:

• Payment gateways enabled in WooCommerce but unavailable at checkout
• Checkout Blocks or shortcode pages that render incorrectly
• Empty cart, checkout and order-flow anomalies
• Synthetic test orders that need safe cleanup
• Incidents that need shareable evidence for developers, hosts or clients

What the plugin does

Enriched health endpoint Exposes a private REST endpoint (/wp-json/cashflowcanary/v1/health) secured by a shared token. CashFlowCanary polls this endpoint to get data only available from inside WordPress:

• Real payment gateway availability (is_available() — not just “enabled”)
• Whether checkout uses the WooCommerce Blocks checkout or the classic shortcode
• Live product in-stock count
• Orders placed in the last 24 hours and pending order count
• Recent synthetic test orders and their statuses

Automatic synthetic order cleanup Orders placed by CashFlowCanary’s test engine are automatically tagged and deleted (or cancelled) after a configurable delay. Your WooCommerce stats stay clean.

Live admin dashboard See monitor status and global health score directly in WP Admin → CashFlowCanary. A colour-coded dot in the admin bar alerts you to open incidents at a glance — without leaving WordPress.

Local demo mode Enable the local demo mode from WP Admin → CashFlowCanary to preview the cockpit without a CashFlowCanary account. Demo mode uses local sample statuses only and does not send data to CashFlowCanary.

Native WooCommerce webhook The plugin registers a WooCommerce native webhook that streams order events to CashFlowCanary, enabling faster incident detection on order-flow anomalies.

Who it is for

• WooCommerce store owners who want to know whether the checkout can really take orders
• WooCommerce agencies monitoring several client stores
• Support teams that need checkout incident evidence before changing cache, payment or theme settings
• Developers who want aggregate WooCommerce health signals without exposing customer personal data

Requirements

• A CashFlowCanary account for live monitoring
• WooCommerce 7.0 or later
• WordPress 6.0 or later, PHP 8.0 or later

You can install the plugin and enable local demo mode without a CashFlowCanary account. Live monitoring starts after connecting a CashFlowCanary account. CashFlowCanary billing is handled in the CashFlowCanary web app, not inside WordPress or WooCommerce.

Service externe

This plugin connects your store to CashFlowCanary, a third-party SaaS monitoring service operated at cashflowcanary.com. A CashFlowCanary account is required to use the live monitoring, alerting and incident-proof features.

The plugin does not contact CashFlowCanary until an administrator enters a CashFlowCanary API token and saves the connection settings in WP Admin -> CashFlowCanary.

Once connected, the plugin sends store metadata to the CashFlowCanary API (https://cashflowcanary.com) — site URL, WooCommerce version, aggregate product and order counts, payment-gateway availability and the status of CashFlowCanary synthetic test orders — so CashFlowCanary can monitor your checkout and generate shareable incident evidence. No customer personal data (names, emails, order details) is transmitted.

The plugin does not process subscription payments and does not add a payment terminal to WooCommerce. CashFlowCanary subscription billing, when needed, happens in the CashFlowCanary web app after the store owner has connected and evaluated the service.
