Install¶

Your WordPress dashboard

After purchasing the WooCommerce Zapier Extension from WooCommerce.com, it needs to be installed on your WooCommerce store.

After installing and activating the WooCommerce Zapier Extension, you will be prompted with the following message:

Create a Zapier Account¶

Zapier.com

If you don’t have one yet, you will also need a Zapier account. Zapier can be used with a free plan, however, advanced functionalities are only available with paid plans. For pricing information, see Zapier’s Plans & Pricing page.

Create your first Zap¶

Zapier.com

The next step is to create your first Zap, which is done via the Zapier.com interface.

If you haven’t created a Zap before, please refer to Zapier’s key concepts article before proceeding.

The simplest way to get started is to create a Zap using one of the Zap templates, as it is typically quicker than hand-crafting your own Zap from scratch.

For detailed instructions on creating your first Zap with WooCommerce, please refer to the Make a Zap instructions.

Authenticate¶

When you create your first WooCommerce Zap, you will be asked to choose your WooCommerce account.

The authentication process involves the Zapier.com service connecting to your WooCommerce store using your WordPress administrator username and password.

Please ensure you complete the authentication dialog window correctly:

• In the WordPress Site Address (URL) field, enter the URL to your WordPress website’s home (front) page. Be sure the URL starts with https:// and does not include the trailing slash.
  For example: https://example.com
  If in doubt, go to the WordPress Dashboard → Side Menu → Settings → General screen and copy the Site Address (URL) field value and paste it into the WordPress Site Address (URL) field in the authentication dialog window.
• In the WordPress Username field, enter your administrator username or email address that you use when logging into the WordPress dashboard.

• In the WordPress Application Password field, create an Application Password for your WordPress administrator account.

  Use a WordPress Application Password for isolation and better compatibility

  Using an application password (rather than your regular password) improves compatibility with security-related plugins and services. Also keeps user and service related access separated. See details in the Security Plugins chapter.

  To set up an Application Password, go to WordPress Dashboard → Side Menu → Users → Profile screen and press the “Add New Application Password” button. Please see here for details.

  Can’t see the Application Passwords settings in WordPress? Please see here for suggestions.

  Alternatively, you can use your regular WordPress password.

Click the Yes, Continue to WooCommerce button to complete the process.

If you encounter an error whilst authenticating, please refer to the Authentication Troubleshooting guide for assistance.

Congratulations, you have successfully authenticated Zapier and your WooCommerce store!
