CodeFaeries Store Sentinel is a WooCommerce activity monitor that tracks critical store events and presents them in a clean, chronological feed. Know immediately when orders are trashed, deleted, or change status — and when products disappear from your catalog.

Requires WooCommerce — Store Sentinel is purpose-built for WooCommerce stores and requires WooCommerce 7.9 or later.

In Store Sentinel Pro

Anomaly detection, email alerts (immediate / hourly / daily digest), webhook
notifications, scheduled email reports, extended retention, advanced filters,
CSV export and additional event types (customers, coupons, shipping) are part
of Store Sentinel Pro, distributed separately from codefaeries.com. The
free plugin exposes documented hooks that Pro builds on.

Tracked Events

Order trashed (warning) — Order moved to trash
Order deleted (critical) — Order permanently deleted
Order status changed (info) — Order status transition (e.g., processing to completed)
Product trashed (warning) — Product moved to trash
Product deleted (critical) — Product permanently deleted

Privacy

Store Sentinel records WooCommerce store events (order/product trashes,
deletions and status changes) to a custom table in your own database. Customer
emails captured in event context are partially masked, and client IP addresses —
when IP tracking is enabled — are stored only as a one-way SHA-256 hash salted
with your site’s WordPress salt. The raw IP is never written to the database.

Store Sentinel does not phone home and does not send any data to external
services. All event data stays in your own database.
