Guided connection
The administrator enters the CashFlowCanary URL, site token and WooCommerce keys in dedicated fields. Secrets are not shown afterwards.
WordPress plugin
A WooCommerce connector ready for checkout monitoring.
The plugin adds guided setup, local demo mode, a protected health endpoint, WooCommerce webhooks and the context used by paid-plan AI intervention.
What the plugin adds
Local demo
Demo mode shows the signal rendering directly in WordPress before connecting a store to the service.
Protected health endpoint
CashFlowCanary reads aggregate diagnostic signals used by diagnosis and AI intervention: version, payment method availability, stock and general counters.
AI intervention context
When an incident is detected on a paid plan, CashFlowCanary produces the incident report, runs AI intervention, rechecks checkout and generates the intervention report.
WooCommerce webhooks
Checkout events can be connected to CashFlowCanary, with rollback expected when configuration fails.
Use cases that make the plugin worth installing
The WordPress.org listing should not sell an abstract connector. It should show the situations where a WooCommerce admin gets a visible result quickly.
Know whether checkout can take orders
The plugin gives CashFlowCanary the internal signals needed to separate an available site from a WooCommerce funnel that can actually sell.
Prove an incident without sensitive screenshots
Aggregate signals feed incident reports: affected step, expected signal, observed signal and shareable proof without customer data.
Help an agency prioritize clients
An agency can connect several stores, follow plugin status and handle revenue-blocking checkouts first.
Prepare paid-plan AI intervention
On paid plans, plugin signals provide context for the incident report, AI intervention, recheck and intervention report workflow.
Expected first result
The right activation goal is not the download. It is a connected store sending a first usable signal into the cockpit.
1. See demo mode
The user confirms the plugin screen works in WordPress without an account and without data transfer.
2. Connect the store
After explicit token and WooCommerce key entry, CashFlowCanary receives aggregate store signals.
3. Get the first check
The cockpit shows the latest plugin check, checkout state and next expected check.
4. Ask for review at the right time
The review request must arrive after a useful result, stay optional and never buy, force or simulate feedback.
Install the plugin
The installation page gathers the WordPress.org download link, activation steps and checks to run before connecting live monitoring.
Download page
A short page to get the plugin, upload the ZIP, open demo mode and connect the first site.
Installation guide
Download, upload the ZIP, activate WooCommerce/CashFlowCanary and move from local demo to live monitoring.
WordPress.org listing
Open the official CashFlowCanary Checkout Monitor for WooCommerce plugin page.
WordPress.org visibility plan
The listing should repeat one precise promise: CashFlowCanary helps WooCommerce merchants and agencies detect broken checkouts without collecting customer data.
Name, short description and tags
Use a short descriptive name, a short description under 150 characters and five tags maximum: woocommerce, checkout, monitoring, alert, pdf.
Use-case readme
Open with the problem, then installation, first monitoring scenario, WooCommerce integrations, FAQ, free-version limits and a readable changelog.
Listing assets
Prepare a distinctive icon, WordPress.org 772x250 banner, 256x256 icon and four screenshots that tell the result: connection, demo, health endpoint, webhooks.
Clean support and reviews
Answer support quickly, enrich the FAQ, ask for a review only after a first successful check, always optional and never fake.
Acquisition without spam
The plugin should earn visibility through utility: tutorials, use cases, integrations and personalized outreach to targeted agencies.
SEO entry points
Connect the product page, installation guide, checkout monitoring method, screenshots, comparisons and incident resources.
Targeted manual messages
Contact 20 to 50 WooCommerce agencies with a personalized message, a test license and a request for feedback on a real use case.
Useful partnerships
Prepare joint tutorials, technical integrations, partner discounts and possible affiliation without inventing customer testimonials.
Measurable funnel
Track visits, downloads, installs, activations, first successful check, 7/30-day retention, support, reviews and paid conversion without unnecessary PII.

Intentional limits
Not a payment gateway
The plugin does not replace store payment methods and does not process cards.
No customer data
Screenshots, endpoint and AI intervention use aggregate signals, without buyer email, address, card or named cart.
No hidden action
Connection, webhook, demo and capabilities used by AI remain explicit inside WordPress admin.
Measure the real plugin funnel
Plugin visibility is not only downloads. The product signal must show where users stop.
Installation
WordPress.org download, WordPress activation and opening the CashFlowCanary screen.
Useful activation
Demo mode viewed, store connected, health endpoint validated and first check visible in the cockpit.
Ongoing usage
Site still active at D+7/D+30, incidents viewed, reports opened and alert channels configured.
Quality loop
Support questions turned into FAQ, review requested after success, uninstall watched without spying on customers.
