Frequently Asked Questions

How does Shopify WordPress user sync work for LMS?

The application uses Shopify webhooks (Customer Creation event). When a customer is created in your Shopify store, Shopify sends a notification to your WordPress site. The Ecommerce Store LMS Sync application receives it, verifies it with the secret key, and creates or updates the corresponding user in WordPress. That way, customers can log into WordPress with their Shopify account and access LMS courses tied to their purchase.

Where do I get the webhook URL for the WordPress plugin?

The webhook URL is provided inside the Ecommerce Store LMS Sync application in WordPress (typically in the Setup tab). Copy that URL and paste it into the Shopify webhook configuration (Settings → Notifications → Webhooks) when creating the Customer Creation webhook.
