See every featureOrder Bell plays a sound when a new order arrives—while the Shopify admin or the listener window is open. Alerts come from Shopify webhooks, not polling. Pick a built-in tone or upload your own. Route louder sounds to high-value orders, tags, products, or channels. Mute, volume, and flash-sale throttling help when things get busy. Activity links open the order in Shopify. Admin app only—nothing on your storefront.
