The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between WooCommerce and Unit4, and how often.

  1. Invoices

    to Unit4 automatically

    Every sale becomes an invoice in Unit4 with its own line items and the order number as reference, so you can trace it back without retyping.

  2. Contacts

    to Unit4 automatically

    The customer is recorded as a contact in Unit4 or reused by email, so no duplicate relation appears.

  3. VAT

    to Unit4 automatically

    The VAT rate is set per line, and foreign sales get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.

Both sides

What each side expects

WooCommerce and Unit4 do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Unit4

An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

In four steps

Setting it up

  1. 01

    Request the connector

    Request the WooCommerce to Unit4 connector and get access. You hear from us within 24 hours.

  2. 02

    We agree what should travel

    Together we settle what should travel out of WooCommerce. An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

  3. 03

    Test and switch on

    You check the connector on a few test records before anything becomes final, then it runs by itself.

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 administration you administer, plus clarity on the ledger account you want used.

Where it runs

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

Common questions

Can you connect WooCommerce to Unit4?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of WooCommerce and Unit4, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Which VAT rate do my sales get in Unit4?

The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.

Are commission and fees booked separately in Unit4?

Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Unit4, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.

What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in WooCommerce?

It comes across, so Unit4 matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.

What does connecting WooCommerce and Unit4 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 Unit4?

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 happens to a return or refund in Unit4?

A return becomes a credit invoice in Unit4 for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.

What if WooCommerce or Unit4 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.

Missing something you need?

Tell us what WooCommerce and Unit4 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.
