About this plugin
Most store monitors just ping your homepage, see a “200 OK”, and call your store healthy while checkout is quietly broken and no orders are coming in. Vital Cart watches the thing that actually matters: whether money is still flowing.
It learns your store’s own normal order rhythm and normal payment-failure rate, then alerts you the moment either goes abnormal, so you find out in minutes instead of days.
” or only discovered a broken checkout or a failing payment gateway after losing a day of sales, Vital Cart is the safety net that emails you before the damage adds up.
What it watches
- Order silence. Learns your normal quiet stretch between orders and alerts you when orders stop for abnormally long, the classic sign of a broken checkout or a site problem.
- Payment failure spikes. Learns your normal failed-order rate and alerts you when failures suddenly spike, the classic sign of a broken or misconfigured payment gateway that still lets customers try to pay.
Both learn from your store’s history, so there are no fixed thresholds to guess at, and a low-volume store and a high-volume store each get their own baseline.
Built to not cry wolf
- One alert per incident and one “resolved” notice when things recover. No alert spam.
- Stays quiet until it has enough order history to have a trustworthy baseline.
- Adjustable sensitivity for each monitor, and each can be turned off independently.
See everything at a glance
- A Vital Cart admin page with a live health panel: your learned baselines, last order, recent failure rate, and current status.
- A compact widget on your WordPress dashboard for an at-a-glance health check.
