Quick start

WooCommerce LINE Notifier sends WooCommerce order / shipping notifications to customers and admins via the LINE Messaging API, with templates ready in three languages. This guide covers LINE Channel setup, binding recipients, and your first message.

For WooCommerce merchants in Japan / Taiwan / Hong Kong who need to push order status via LINE. LINE Notify shut down in 2025; this plugin is the modern replacement.

1. Install and activate

  1. Download the ZIP and upload via WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload.
  2. After activation, the top menu LINE Notifier opens the console.
  3. Tables auto-created: wp_wln_targets / wp_wln_logs / wp_wln_rules.

2. LINE Channel setup

Settings page:

  1. Go to LINE Developers Console → create a Provider + Messaging API channel
  2. Copy Channel access token + Channel secret
  3. Paste into Settings fields
  4. Plugin auto-registers a webhook to receive inbound LINE bot messages

3. Bind your first recipient

Targets page:

  • Have customers/staff add the LINE bot as a friend (scan QR or search ID)
  • Anyone messaging the bot triggers the webhook which records their user_id into wp_wln_targets
  • Assign nickname / permission to the user_id on the Targets page

4. 8-page admin

  • Dashboard: today/month push count + quota + recent logs + recipient count
  • Settings: LINE Channel credentials + default target
  • Targets: manage LINE user_id list
  • Templates: per-event message text (new_order / shipping / refund / ...)
  • Rules: per-event + per-target + per-trigger routing rules
  • Logs: every push (success / failed / queued)
  • Migration: import legacy LINE Notify config
  • Flex editor: custom rich card composer

5. First push

Once templates + rules are configured, the next WooCommerce order triggers:

  1. WooCommerce hook woocommerce_order_status_processing fires
  2. Plugin matches recipient and template per rules
  3. Renders template (variables {order_id} {customer_name} {amount})
  4. Action Scheduler queue sends asynchronously
  5. Log entry records the outcome

6. Quotas

  • Free: 50/day, 500/month
  • Pro: unlimited

LINE platform also rate-limits each Channel (free tier 1000/month, paid plans more); plugin quota is a soft cap on top.

7. FAQ

Q: How is this different from LINE Notify? A: LINE Notify shut down in 2025. This plugin uses the LINE Messaging API (more capable, more reliable, officially recommended).

Q: Do customers need to add the bot as a friend? A: Yes — LINE platform rule: messages are only allowed to "friends".

Q: Can I send images / cards? A: Yes — the Flex editor builds cards visually with mixed text+image (Pro).

Q: Does this conflict with WooCommerce's built-in emails? A: No — emails keep firing; LINE is an additional channel. They coexist.
