Alharthiweb Order Alerts

Your store orders, straight to your team. Employees can read products, quantities and variations inside Telegram without signing into WordPress.

Connect one bot, save one destination, send a test, then enable notifications. New orders can include unpaid and Cash on Delivery orders; these alerts are not payment confirmations.

Free includes one destination, background new-order delivery, bounded retries, duplicate prevention, delivery diagnostics, field selection and optional Kikote delivery-location links. There is no monthly notification quota.

Select customer notes, name, telephone, email, address and registered extra checkout fields only when your team needs them. Personal details are off by default. Empty fields are omitted; legitimate zero values and Unicode content are preserved. Phone/email text can be copied; automatic linking depends on the recipient’s Telegram client.

Pro adds multiple destinations, team presets, status-change alerts, flat order rules, per-destination privacy and allowlisted plain-text message templates. Pro implementation is distributed separately and is not included in the WordPress.org Free package.

This plugin is independently developed by Alharthiweb and is not affiliated with Telegram, WooCommerce or Automattic.

External services and privacy

Telegram Bot API: https://api.telegram.org/ is required for configured notification functionality. Nothing is sent to Telegram merely by activating this plugin. When you authorize and verify a bot, its credentials identify the bot to Telegram. Discovery checks webhook status and briefly reads pending updates to find your explicit pairing command without acknowledging them. Existing webhooks are never removed. Use a dedicated bot or enter a Chat ID manually.

Tests send synthetic text. Enabled background notifications send your destination ID and selected order fields: order number/time/status, products/variations/quantities, totals/currency/payment and any optional customer, address, note, registered field or location data you enable. Telegram processes and stores messages under its own policies. Do not send payment credentials or unnecessary personal data.

Google Maps: if you enable delivery location and valid Kikote coordinates exist, the message includes a https://www.google.com/maps/ link. Google receives the location when a recipient opens that link. The plugin does not contact Google, geocode addresses or require a Google API key.

Freemius: the Pro package uses the official Freemius SDK for licensing, account management and updates after you choose Connect Freemius & Activate License. Freemius receives license, account and site information; Telegram credentials and order messages are not sent to Freemius. The Free workflow does not require a Freemius connection or optional telemetry.

Configuration is encrypted using AES-256-GCM and a key derived from your WordPress security keys. Keep wp-config.php security keys with protected backups. Changing them makes existing encrypted configuration unreadable until the matching keys are restored. Delivery diagnostics store order IDs, opaque destination IDs, status codes and timestamps, not message bodies, tokens or full customer records. Diagnostics expire after 30 days. Disabling the plugin stops processing; uninstall preserves settings by default. Define ALHWOA_DELETE_DATA as true in wp-config.php before uninstall to remove this plugin’s settings and diagnostics. WooCommerce orders and messages already sent to Telegram are not deleted. Manage Telegram messages separately and disclose your store’s data sharing in its privacy policy.
