2. Install in WordPress
In WordPress admin, go to Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin, then select the downloaded ZIP.
Plugin installation
Install CashFlowCanary on a WooCommerce store.
The plugin is downloaded from WordPress.org, activated in WordPress admin, then explicitly connected to your CashFlowCanary account.
Installation steps
The flow is intentionally explicit: nothing is connected until the WordPress administrator enters the token and WooCommerce keys.
1. Download the plugin
Open the official WordPress.org listing, download CashFlowCanary Checkout Monitor and keep the ZIP file intact.
3. Activate WooCommerce and CashFlowCanary
Activate WooCommerce and then CashFlowCanary. The plugin exposes a dedicated admin page with local demo mode.
4. Connect live monitoring
Create a CashFlowCanary account, enter the site token and add WooCommerce REST keys when you want to move from demo to live monitoring.
Before live connection
You can verify the plugin screen without sending store data.
Local demo mode lets you check the WordPress rendering before any service connection. Live monitoring starts only after explicit setup.
- No-account demo
- Explicit setup
- No customer data in screenshots
Checks after activation
Health endpoint
The private endpoint should answer only with the expected token and expose aggregate diagnostic signals.
WooCommerce webhooks
Webhook setup should stay visible and reversible from WordPress admin.
CashFlowCanary status
Once the site is connected, the cockpit shows the latest plugin check and the next expected check.
