WooCommerce Salesforce

Keep WooCommerce and Salesforce updated automatically.

Today you go through your WordPress admin into WooCommerce, open every order separately and copy the lines across. After each plugin or theme update you check all over again that nothing dropped out. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in WooCommerce lands in Salesforce by itself, in the shape Salesforce expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The problem

What this connector takes off your hands

  • Today you go through your WordPress admin into WooCommerce, open every order separately and copy the lines across. After each plugin or theme update you check all over again that nothing dropped out.

  • Today you create contacts by hand and search first whether someone exists, so no duplicate customer appears.

What you get out of it

What WooCommerce to Salesforce saves you

  • Record every new WooCommerce order against the right customer in Salesforce.
  • Record every refund in WooCommerce against the right customer in Salesforce.
  • Record every new WooCommerce customer against the right customer in Salesforce.
  • Record every stock change in WooCommerce against the right customer in Salesforce.
The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between WooCommerce and Salesforce, and how often.

  1. Contacts

    to Salesforce automatically

    The person or company lands on the right contact in Salesforce, found by email, so you create nothing twice.

  2. Leads

    to Salesforce automatically

    Every new enquiry becomes a lead in Salesforce, so follow-up does not hang off a stray email.

  3. Notes

    to Salesforce automatically

    The details land as a note on the contact in Salesforce, so the picture of that contact stays complete.

Both sides

What each side expects

WooCommerce and Salesforce do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Salesforce

A CRM hangs everything off a contact, so that contact has to exist first and be recognisable, usually by email address.

In four steps

Setting it up

  1. 01

    Request the connector

    Let us know you want to link WooCommerce to Salesforce. We get in touch within 24 hours with a timeline.

  2. 02

    We agree what should travel

    Together we settle what should travel out of WooCommerce. A CRM hangs everything off a contact, so that contact has to exist first and be recognisable, usually by email address.

  3. 03

    We build and test

    You see the connector run on a few test records before anything becomes final.

What you need

  • A WordPress site running WooCommerce where you are an administrator. In the WooCommerce settings you create a REST API key with read and write access.
  • An account you administer, with access to the data you want linked.

Where it runs

Inside your Shopify admin, as an app. You sign in through Shopify, no separate account.

We build this connector on request. Tell us what you need and we reply within 24 hours.

Common questions

Can you connect WooCommerce to Salesforce?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of WooCommerce and Salesforce, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Does the connector prevent duplicate contacts in Salesforce?

Yes. Contacts are matched by email, so an existing customer in Salesforce is updated rather than a second one appearing.

Which contact in Salesforce does the information from WooCommerce land on?

The contact that matches on email. If it does not exist yet, it is created with the details that come across from WooCommerce.

What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in WooCommerce?

It comes across, so Salesforce matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.

What does connecting WooCommerce and Salesforce cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does WooCommerce sync with Salesforce?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

What if WooCommerce or Salesforce is briefly unavailable?

Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.

How do I connect WooCommerce to Salesforce?

You give Schakel access to WooCommerce and Salesforce once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.

Missing something you need?

Tell us what WooCommerce and Salesforce should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
