YITH WooCommerce Desktop Notifications 1.1.1

YITH WooCommerce Desktop Notifications is a "store monitor" tool designed to keep shop managers and admins updated in real-time. Instead of having to refresh your WordPress dashboard constantly, this plugin pushes browser-based alerts directly to your desktop whenever a key event occurs on your site.

## Core Functionality

The plugin uses browser push technology to alert you even if you are working in a different tab or have the browser minimized (as long as the browser itself is open).

Real-Time Alerts: Receive instant pop-ups for new orders, sales, and refunds.

Inventory Monitoring: Get notified immediately when a product is low on stock or goes out-of-stock.

Direct Links: Each notification typically includes a link that takes you directly to the specific order or product in your WordPress backend.

Role-Based Access: You can choose which team members (e.g., Shop Managers vs. Admins) receive specific types of notifications.

What’s Included: One year of one-to-one support and regular plugin updates to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress and WooCommerce.

## Why Use This Plugin?

Fast Fulfillment: If you run a high-volume store or sell time-sensitive items (like food delivery or tickets), knowing the second an order arrives allows for immediate processing.

Stock Emergency: Being alerted the moment a popular item runs out prevents "lost sales" that occur when you don't realize a product is unavailable.

Team Efficiency: You can set it up so your warehouse manager only gets "New Order" alerts, while the site owner only gets "Refund" or "Low Stock" alerts.

## Integration Highlights

This plugin is built to work seamlessly with other YITH tools:

YITH Custom Order Status: You can set up desktop notifications for any custom status you create (e.g., "Out for Delivery").

YITH Multi-Vendor: Allows individual vendors to receive notifications only for orders involving their own products.

YITH Booking: Receive alerts when a new booking request is made or requires confirmation.
