Receive Sound or Email Notifications

GonnaOrder has various ways through which you can receive notifications for orders placed in your store. Perhaps you already know how to receive notifications for orders through your browser. There are two store-level settings that allow you to receive notifications by email and a continuous notification sound. For the notification sound, it will only stop when you open the newest order in your store.

Receive Email Notifications for All Orders

You can receive an email notification for every order placed in your store. However, you will need to activate this setting by providing an email address to which order emails should be sent.

Visit your GonnaOrder store dashboard and go to Settings > Order Management as shown in the image below.

In the order management section, there is a setting named Order Notification Email. Enter your email in the input field provided and click Save. Depending on the device you are using, you may have to scroll the page to find this setting.

Receive Out-of-Stock Email Notifications

GonnaOrder enables you to receive out-of-stock email notifications on the email you provide. This feature comes in handy when it comes to managing stock levels. It ensures that you are aware of items that are running out of stock, encouraging you to take necessary actions, like restocking.

For this setting to work, you must activate the Manage Stock feature on Settings > Catalog.

Also, you must activate Stock Check and enter the Stock Level on the items in your catalog. For this case, we activate stock check and set a stock level of 3 on Special Pepperoni Pizza ✨(store item). Visit the dedicated Set Up Stock Features help page to learn more about managing stock and how to enable stock check as well as set stock level.

When done, click Save to activate the new settings you just set.

With the said settings activated, it’s time to enable Out of stock notification emails. To do so, go to Settings > Order Management and toggle the Out of stock notification emails button to Yes. Provide the email you want to receive out-of-stock emails and click Save.

When a specific item or items’ stock level reaches 1 or less, you will receive a notification on the email you provided, informing that the item(s) is running out of stock. For instance, if a customer submits an order with two Special Pepperoni Pizzas ✨, then you receive an email informing that the item running out-of-stock.

At this point, the new stock level for Special Pepperoni Pizza is 1, which automatically triggers the out-of-stock notification email.

If you no longer want to receive out-of-stock notification emails, you can simply toggle the switch to No.

Enable Continuous Notification Sound for All Orders

Like with the email notification, this is a store-level setting that can only be activated in your dashboard. You do so by visiting your store dashboard and selecting settings, then choosing Order Management. .

Find Continuous Order Notification Sound and toggle the button to Active to activate. You will now hear a continuous bell sound every time there is a new order in your store. The sound will stop playing when you open the newest order in your store dashboard.

Troubleshooting Sound Notification Problems

GonnaOrder may be unable to play notification sounds for your orders even when you have enabled the continuous notification sound. This usually happens due to your browser’s sound settings, but it is possible to update and get notified.

2. Find and click on the Customize and Control Google Chrome button from the top right corner of the browser window. Alternatively, copy or type the following ULR chrome://settings/content/sound in the browser window and skip to step 8.
3. Click on the Settings option from the menu
4. Choose Privacy and Security from the settings page
5. Under privacy and security click on Site settings
6. Scroll down to find Content settings and expand Additional Content settings
7. Choose the Sound option
8. On the sound settings page, toggle the button labeled Allow sites to play sound button to the right. GonnaOrder and other websites should be able to play sounds when this setting is enabled.
