Product
Product questions
What is WooSentinel?
WooSentinel is a WooCommerce operations monitoring platform that detects incidents, monitors revenue movement, estimates revenue risk, sends Revenue Pulse reports, and prepares safe AI-assisted actions for human review.
How does WooSentinel work?
WooSentinel connects to WooCommerce, syncs operational data, monitors store health and revenue movement, creates incidents when risks appear, and prepares recommended actions through AI Action Queue.
Does WooSentinel replace WooCommerce?
No. WooSentinel does not replace WooCommerce. It works as an operational visibility layer for WooCommerce store monitoring and incident detection.
Does WooSentinel modify my WooCommerce store?
WooSentinel is designed for monitoring and operational insight rather than direct store editing. Read more on the Security and Trust page.
Who is WooSentinel designed for?
WooSentinel is designed for WooCommerce store owners, growing operators, agencies, multi-store teams, and enterprise WooCommerce operations. See Use Cases.
How is WooSentinel different from a normal analytics plugin?
Analytics plugins usually show historical reports. WooSentinel monitors operational risk, detects incidents, explains revenue impact, sends proactive revenue reports, and prepares safe next actions for review.
AI Action Queue
AI Action Queue questions
What is AI Action Queue?
AI Action Queue turns detected incidents into safe recommended actions. Users can review, approve, execute safe internal actions, or dismiss them.
Does AI Action Queue automatically change my WooCommerce store?
No. WooSentinel uses a human-in-the-loop workflow. AI can prepare recommendations and drafts, but risky WooCommerce actions do not execute automatically.
What kind of actions can WooSentinel prepare?
WooSentinel can prepare incident summaries, store health checks, product review hints, reorder checklists, and draft supplier emails depending on the incident type.
Can I dismiss AI-prepared actions?
Yes. Users can approve, execute safe actions, or dismiss actions that are not needed.
Do non-AI plans still get recommended actions?
Yes. Starter, Growth, and Pro can receive deterministic rule-based action recommendations. Business, Premium, and Enterprise may receive OpenAI-enhanced recommendations when wallet and AI controls allow.
Why is AI Action Queue human-reviewed?
WooSentinel is designed for safe WooCommerce operations monitoring. The queue helps teams move faster while keeping humans in control of operational decisions.
AI Revenue Watch
Revenue Watch questions
What is AI Revenue Watch?
AI Revenue Watch compares daily, weekly, and monthly WooCommerce revenue performance to detect revenue drops, order drops, average order value changes, and product-level revenue declines.
What is Revenue Pulse?
Revenue Pulse is WooSentinel’s revenue reporting workflow. It can send Daily Revenue Pulse, Weekly Revenue Pulse, Monthly Revenue Watch, and revenue drop alert emails.
What revenue issues can WooSentinel detect?
WooSentinel can detect revenue drops, order volume drops, average order value drops, and top product revenue declines. Major revenue changes can become Revenue Watch incidents.
Does WooSentinel send revenue reports by email?
Yes. Store owners can enable or disable Daily Revenue Pulse, Weekly Revenue Pulse, Monthly Revenue Watch, and revenue drop alert emails.
How are Revenue Watch incidents different from normal incidents?
Revenue Watch incidents are created from revenue comparisons. They include current period revenue, previous period revenue, change percentage, estimated revenue impact, likely drivers, and recommended checks.
Which plans include AI-enhanced Revenue Watch?
All supported plans can use deterministic Revenue Watch. Business, Premium, and Enterprise can use OpenAI-enhanced revenue analysis when wallet balance, plan permissions, and AI controls allow.
Does Revenue Watch use WooCommerce reports?
WooSentinel reads synced WooCommerce order and product data to generate its own revenue snapshots, comparisons, alerts, and operational summaries.
Does deterministic fallback still work?
Yes. Deterministic fallback keeps WooCommerce revenue monitoring and revenue alerts available even when OpenAI-enhanced analysis is not available or not enabled.
AI Billing
AI billing questions
How does AI billing work?
Starter uses rule-based insights, Growth and Pro include AI chat limits, and Business+ uses a PAYG AI wallet for advanced AI features. Compare details on Pricing.
What is PAYG AI wallet?
The PAYG AI wallet is a prepaid control model for advanced AI usage such as automated incident reasoning, ROI summaries, AI-enhanced Revenue Watch, and AI Action Queue recommendations where eligible.
Can AI usage be controlled?
Yes. WooSentinel supports plan-based AI limits, wallet controls, per-store settings where available, and usage visibility so AI WooCommerce assistant features remain manageable.
What happens if wallet balance becomes low?
Business+ plans include low wallet balance awareness so teams can act before advanced AI usage is interrupted. Exact behavior depends on product settings and plan configuration.
Can AI features be disabled?
AI features can be enabled or disabled based on plan capabilities and available settings. Deterministic monitoring remains separate from optional OpenAI-assisted features.
Which plans use wallet-based AI billing?
Business, Premium, and Enterprise use wallet-based controls for advanced AI features such as automated incident reasoning, ROI AI, AI-enhanced Revenue Watch, and enhanced AI Action Queue recommendations.
Does AI Revenue Watch use wallet balance?
Deterministic Revenue Watch does not require wallet usage. OpenAI-enhanced revenue analysis is available on Business, Premium, and Enterprise when wallet balance and AI controls allow.
Does deterministic monitoring require OpenAI?
No. Deterministic monitoring, incident detection, and fallback workflows remain separate from OpenAI-enhanced analysis.

WooSentinel monitors operational signals such as store health, orders, products, stock, sync status, incidents, Revenue Watch snapshots, and revenue-impact context.

Yes. WooSentinel can detect revenue drops, order drops, AOV drops, top product revenue declines, low stock, stockout risk, sync failures, and order inactivity. Revenue-related issues can become Revenue Watch incidents.
Can WooSentinel detect sync failures?
Yes. WooSentinel monitors sync status and can surface sync failure risks that may cause stale operational data or missed incident visibility.
What incidents can WooSentinel detect?
WooSentinel can detect incident types such as revenue_drop, orders_drop, aov_drop, top_product_drop, low_stock, stockout_risk, sync_failure, and no_orders_recent. See Features.

Can AI settings be managed separately per store?
Business+ plans include per-store AI controls where available, helping multi-store teams manage AI usage based on store needs.
Plans
Plan questions
Which plan should I choose?
Starter is best for basic monitoring, Growth and Pro add AI chat capacity, Business and Premium support multi-store operations, and Enterprise is for custom needs. Compare plans on Pricing.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. WooSentinel is structured so operators can start with one store and move to plans that support more stores, AI controls, or larger operational needs.
What happens when I exceed AI limits?
AI behavior depends on your plan. Growth and Pro use fixed AI chat limits, while Business+ uses wallet-based AI controls for advanced features.
How do Business and Premium differ?
Business supports up to 1 stores. Premium supports up to 3 stores and is better suited for agencies, teams, and higher operational capacity.
Which plans include Revenue Watch?
Revenue Watch deterministic monitoring is available across supported operational plans. OpenAI-enhanced revenue analysis is limited to Business, Premium, and Enterprise when wallet and AI settings allow.
Which plans include AI Action Queue?
AI Action Queue is available as a safe human-reviewed workflow. Lower plans receive deterministic recommendations, while Business, Premium, and Enterprise can receive OpenAI-enhanced recommendations when eligible.
Technical
Technical questions
How does WooSentinel connect to WooCommerce?
WooSentinel uses WooCommerce API access to read operational signals needed for WooCommerce store monitoring and incident detection.
Does WooSentinel require a plugin?
WooSentinel is built around WooCommerce API access. If a plugin-based connection is introduced or required for a specific setup, product onboarding will make that clear.
How frequently is data monitored?
Monitoring frequency depends on product configuration, plan behavior, and connected store activity. WooSentinel focuses on operational visibility without making unsupported timing guarantees.
How does sync work?
WooSentinel syncs operational data from connected WooCommerce stores, tracks sync status, and uses those signals to support incident detection and store health visibility.
Does Revenue Watch require a tracking script?
No for the current Revenue Watch workflow. It uses synced WooCommerce order and product data. Visitor behavior and abandoned cart tracking may require additional tracking in the future.
Does Revenue Watch use synced data?
Yes. WooSentinel uses synced WooCommerce order and product data to generate revenue snapshots, comparisons, alerts, and operational summaries.
Security
Security questions
How does WooSentinel access store data?
WooSentinel accesses store information through WooCommerce API access for monitoring purposes. More detail is available on Security and Trust.
Can AI be disabled?
AI can be disabled or controlled based on plan capabilities and settings, while deterministic monitoring remains part of the product model.
How is monitoring visibility handled?
WooSentinel presents store health, incidents, sync status, AI usage, Revenue Watch signals, and operational data so teams can better understand what is happening across stores.
Does WooSentinel change store information?
WooSentinel is designed as a monitoring and operations layer. AI Action Queue does not automatically perform risky WooCommerce changes. Actions are human-reviewed, and supplier emails remain drafts unless the user chooses to use them.
Can AI execute actions without approval?
No. WooSentinel’s agentic workflow requires human review. Safe internal actions can be executed after approval, while risky WooCommerce actions are not performed automatically.
Are AI recommendations deterministic only?
Some recommendations are deterministic and rule-based. Business, Premium, and Enterprise can receive OpenAI-enhanced recommendations when plan, wallet, and AI controls allow.
Payments
Payment questions
How are subscriptions handled?
Subscriptions are handled securely through the WooSentinel billing flow. The WordPress marketing website does not process checkout, subscriptions, or billing logic.
How does cancellation work?
Cancellation is managed through the product billing flow and applicable customer policies. For questions, contact WooSentinel.
Can I cancel anytime?
Cancellation terms depend on the subscription and applicable policies. Review the terms and refund policy, or contact us before starting if you have questions.
How do refunds work?
Refund handling follows the published Refund Policy. For billing-specific questions, use the Contact page.
