Store Sentinel

Description

Store Sentinel Pro is an activity monitoring plugin built specifically for WooCommerce. It records meaningful events across your store, from order status changes and deletions to product and meta changes, and surfaces them in a chronological feed so you always know what is happening behind the scenes. The Pro edition adds proactive monitoring with anomaly detection, email alerts, advanced filtering, data export, and longer retention.
