How do I get a notification when an order comes in?
Point your store's webhook at Lert. Copy your link, paste it into your Shopify or Stripe webhook settings, and your iPhone buzzes on every order — in about a second. No account, no API key, no SDK.
Both Shopify and Stripe can call a URL whenever an event happens — that's what webhooks are. The usual hard part is building a little server to receive that webhook and forward it somewhere useful. With Lert your link is that destination, so there's nothing to build: the store POSTs to your link and your phone buzzes.
Set it up in under 30 seconds
- Download the app and copy your link — no account to create.
- Open your webhook settings. In Shopify, Settings → Notifications → Webhooks; in Stripe, Developers → Webhooks.
- Paste your Lert link as the endpoint URL and choose the event (e.g. Order created or payment_intent.succeeded).
That's it — the next order lands on your lock screen.
Want a tidy message? Add a tiny relay
A raw webhook payload is large, so many people run one small handler that pulls out the total and customer, then POSTs a clean message to Lert:
app.post("/webhook", async (req, res) => { const o = req.body; await fetch("https://lert.dev/p/your-id", { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({ title: "New order", body: `$${o.total} — ${o.customer}` }) }); res.sendStatus(200); });
Or skip the relay entirely and point the webhook straight at your link for an instant "you've got an order" buzz with no extra code.
Why this is the easy path: no push certificates, no device tokens, no APNs setup — the things that normally make order notifications a project. Your webhook field plus one Lert link is the whole build.
