Steps on how to connect WooCommerce with Commercium

To get started with the connection of WooCommerce with Commercium, you'll need to create and manage API keys within your WooCommerce store. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this using the WooCommerce REST API.

Step 1: Generate Your WooCommerce API Keys

1. Navigate to the API Settings

• Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API

• Description: Add a description for the key to help you identify its purpose.
• User: Select the WordPress user for whom you want to generate the key from the dropdown menu.
• Access Level: Choose the level of access for this API key:
• Read access: Allows reading of data.
• Write access: Allows modification of data.
• Read/Write access: Allows both reading and modification of data.

3. Add a New Key

• Select Add Key. This action will take you to the Key Details screen.
  

• Select Generate API Key. WooCommerce will then create the API keys for the specified user.

5. Use the Generated Keys

Once the keys are generated, you'll see the following:

• Consumer Key
• Consumer Secret
• QRCode
• Revoke Key button

These keys (Consumer Key and Consumer Secret) need to be entered into the Commercium that you'll be connecting to using the WooCommerce REST API. The application will also request your store's URL to establish the connection.

By following the above steps, you will obtain all the necessary details to connect your WooCommerce account to Commercium. 

Now let's proceed to the Commercium Dashboard For Connecting the Accounts:

Step 2: Access Your Commercium Account

• If you already have an account with Commercium, sign in using your login credentials.

Step 3: Go to Integrations

• After logging in, head over to the Integrations on your Commercium dashboard and select the Available Integrations option.

• From the available choices, select Connect WooCommerce.

Step 4: Enter the necessary API details

Fill in:

• Channel Name (any name for your reference)

• WooCommerce Domain (your store URL) - This will be the URL you can extract from Admin Login For Eg, if your URL is https://wp-constacloud.com/Woo/wp-login.php , then the domain to enter for Commercium connection will be only wp-constacloud.com/Woo without https in the start.

• API Key (Consumer Key)
• API Secret (Consumer Secret)

Your WooCommerce store will now be successfully connected to Commercium.

Configuration

Post-Connection Setup
After the connection is successfully made, you will be redirected to the Settings page.

Choose the appropriate identifier for your products, such as SKU, barcode, or another field, depending on how your catalog is structured.

Within the Settings, enable the Order Sync option.

• Notify on Unlinked Item/Order - Enable this option to receive email alerts if an order or product fails to match or encounters an error during sync.

• Skip Unpaid Orders - When this setting is enabled, any orders from the marketplace that haven't been paid for will not be pulled into Shopify.

• Order Notes Format - You can choose to include the marketplace’s order ID in the order notes. Click the ‘+’ icon to add the ID, and optionally include a prefix or suffix.

• Order Number Format - Similar to the notes, you may configure how the order number appears by inserting the marketplace ID and adding any prefix/suffix as needed.

• Order Import Start Time - Define the timestamp (UTC) from which you want orders to start syncing into Shopify. You can set this to the present time or a few hours earlier, based on your preference.

Enable Shipment Sync in the Settings.

• You can link Shopify shipping methods with those used in the marketplace. To set up multiple mappings, use the ‘+’ button.
• Once mappings are complete, click Save Shipment, and then make sure to save all your changes by clicking Save at the top or bottom of the page.

Enable Inventory Sync within the Settings panel.

• Safety Stock Level – Specify a buffer stock quantity that will be retained in Shopify. This number will be subtracted from your total inventory, and the remaining quantity will be pushed to the marketplace. This helps you prevent overselling while keeping full stock visibility in Shopify.

Switch on Price Sync from the Settings.

• Any price changes made to your Shopify products will be automatically reflected in the marketplace for the matched listings.

Activate Product Sync in the Settings.

• Default Inventory for Non-Tracked Products – Input a default stock quantity for items that aren’t inventory-managed in Shopify. This ensures that these products still appear in stock in the Marketplace, which requires inventory levels even for made-to-order or custom products.
