Common questions
Can you connect WooCommerce to Akeneo?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of WooCommerce and Akeneo, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Does Akeneo need a complete address, and what if it is wrong?
Akeneo needs a full delivery address to make a label. If the country and postcode do not match up, that shipment is held and shows in the log, rather than a wrong label coming out.
Can I choose the carrier in Akeneo myself?
Yes. Which carrier and shipping method Akeneo uses you set there; Schakel only hands the shipment over complete.
What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in WooCommerce?
It comes across, so Akeneo matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.
What does connecting WooCommerce and Akeneo 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 Akeneo?
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 Akeneo 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 Akeneo?
You give Schakel access to WooCommerce and Akeneo 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.

WooCommerce and Akeneo is one of many. Pick two systems and see what travels between them.
