Clarity Connect integration

WooCommerce Integration

Tie your WooCommerce store to the ERP, CRM and gateway behind it, so web orders land in the back office once and stock and prices flow back to WordPress.

What WooCommerce integration covers

WooCommerce turns a WordPress site into a store, and its REST API is built on the WordPress REST API. The usual job is WooCommerce ERP integration: orders and customer registrations go from the store to the ERP, and the ERP returns stock, prices and order and shipping status. Clarity's WooCommerce connector talks to that API directly, so Clarity Connect can pair the store with an ERP, CRM, database or EDI interface.

How the WooCommerce connection works

REST API version 3

The current WooCommerce REST API is v3. Access uses a consumer key and secret generated in WooCommerce settings, each tied to a WordPress user and set to read, write or both. WooCommerce recommends HTTPS, and the API needs a permalink setting other than Plain.

The legacy API left core in 2024

WooCommerce 9.0, released in June 2024, removed the old Legacy REST API from core. Integrations still calling it now depend on a separate Legacy REST API extension that WooCommerce says it won't maintain indefinitely, so an older connector should be moved to v3.

Webhooks for live changes

Webhooks are set up under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Webhooks, with topics for orders, customers, products and coupons. Each delivery is hashed with a secret, which lets Connect confirm the message came from your store before it acts on it.

B2B fields WooCommerce doesn't have

Payment terms, tiered pricing and inventory by location aren't part of WooCommerce itself. On B2B stores they come from a plugin, and the connector reads and writes them through the API so the ERP stays the source for each.

WooCommerce projects you can watch

For Zephyr Sleep Technologies, Connect sends WooCommerce orders into Epicor E10 and writes the WooCommerce order number, tax and user ID into custom fields on the Epicor sales order, while a second job returns order and shipping status to the store. Watch the WooCommerce to Epicor demo.

In a WooCommerce and SYSPRO project, each new store registration creates the matching SYSPRO record, base prices are kept in SYSPRO and sale prices in WooCommerce. Watch the WooCommerce and SYSPRO walkthrough.

How Clarity Connect runs it

Clarity Connect is Clarity's integration platform. It keeps a persistent connection running both ways between WooCommerce and your back office, with every flow set up as a task that runs live or on a timer. Clarity has delivered more than 3,000 integrations on it, and the source code for the platform and its connectors is available.

How a Clarity Connect project runs
  1. Discovery

    A Clarity business analyst documents the data fields and workflows each system can share and which ones you need.

  2. Tasks and mapping

    Each flow becomes a Connect task, such as orders to the ERP or stock to the store, set to run in real time or on a schedule.

  3. Testing

    Orders and updates are run end to end, including the return trip of statuses back to the customer-facing system.

  4. Live, with a dashboard

    Queues and scheduled tasks show in Connect's Hangfire dashboard. A job whose target is offline is retried 10 times, every 30 minutes, and can be re-queued once the cause is fixed.

Clarity Connect is sold as a SaaS subscription at $599 a month or as a one-time license at $15,000 with no ongoing fees, and larger projects are priced to scope. See pricing.

Questions

Which WooCommerce version does the integration need?

A current release with REST API v3 and a permalink setting other than Plain. If an existing integration still uses the Legacy REST API, which left WooCommerce core in version 9.0, we move it to v3.

Which ERPs can WooCommerce connect to?

Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Sage, SYSPRO, Epicor, Infor and NetSuite, among others. See WooCommerce ERP integration for the B2B workflows.

Do I still need WooCommerce plugins?

Plugins handle storefront features such as quoting or invoicing. They don't move data to and from your ERP, which is the job Connect does. Our invoice plugin comparison covers the plugin side.

What happens if the ERP is down for maintenance?

The store keeps taking orders. Connect holds the jobs in a retry queue and posts them once the ERP is back.
