The «New orders» addon provides automatic loading of the order list in the CS-Cart admin panel with visual highlighting of new orders and optional sound notification.
Purpose
The addon solves the tasks of the store operator: there is no need to manually refresh the orders page. New orders appear automatically and are highlighted. If needed, a sound alert can be enabled when a new order arrives.
Main features
- Automatic loading of new orders at a configurable interval (minutes)
- Highlighting of new orders with a custom color
- Highlight duration (how many minutes an order is considered «new»)
- Sound notification when a new order arrives
- Option to enable/disable sound when there are orders with «Open» status
How it works
The addon uses AJAX requests to the orders management page at a configurable interval. When new orders are received, they are highlighted in the table. The sound file is uploaded in the addon settings (user files) and plays when a new order arrives. Settings are stored in the standard addon settings schema.
Where to find
The addon is configured in Add-ons → Manage add-ons in the «New orders» addon card. Features are displayed on the Orders → Manage orders page.

Installation
Install the addon via Add-ons → Manage add-ons. Find «New orders» and click «Install».
Configuration
After installation, open the addon card and configure:
- Refresh rate (minutes) — interval in minutes for sending requests to receive new order data. Recommended: 1–5 minutes.
- New order highlight time (minutes) — how many minutes to highlight a new order.
- Highlight color — background color for highlighting (e.g.
#ffe6d5). - File for sound notification — upload an audio file to User Files. In the browser settings, allow sound playback on your site. For Chrome:
chrome://settings/content/sound→ «Allow to play sounds» → add your admin domain. - Play sound alert while there are orders with «Open» status — enable if sound should play when there are orders with «Open» status.
Using the addon
Go to Orders → Manage orders. The order list will automatically refresh at the configured interval. New orders are highlighted. With sound enabled, the uploaded audio file plays when a new order arrives.
Verification
Create a test order on the storefront. Ensure it appears in the admin order list and is highlighted. Check sound playback when the option is enabled.
Maintenance
Update the addon via standard CS-Cart mechanisms or the upgrade center. To remove, use Add-ons → Manage add-ons.
