Requirements

To get started, you’ll need the following:

• A WordPress website with WooCommerce installed.
• The miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync plugin activated, which facilitates the integration between WooCommerce and the Rapid API.
• Access to Rapid API, including API credentials to retrieve product data and possibly order management details.

Step-by-Step Guide to Sync Products and Orders:

Step 1: Setting Up the Plugin

Begin by logging into the WordPress admin dashboard. From here, install and activate the miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync plugin. Once installed, the next step is to establish a secure connection between the plugin and Rapid API by entering the credentials provided by Rapid API.

Step 2: Establishing the Connection

The plugin will communicate securely with Rapid API. You can verify the connection by using the “Test Configuration” button to ensure that the plugin can successfully retrieve product data and send order data (if applicable) from Rapid API.

Step 3: Retrieving Product Information

Once the connection is established, the plugin will request product details such as product names, descriptions, images, prices, stock levels, and more from Rapid API. The plugin fetches this data in real-time, ensuring you always have up-to-date product information.

Step 4: Mapping Product Data

The miniOrange Product Sync plugin allows you to map the data fetched from Rapid API to the corresponding fields in your WooCommerce store. You can choose to sync specific attributes such as stock, price, categories, and more. This flexibility ensures you can tailor the synchronization process to meet your store’s needs.

Step 5: Automating Product Addition

Once the data is mapped, the plugin will automatically add the products to your WooCommerce store. This includes creating new product listings and updating the necessary details. You can configure the plugin to sync products at set intervals—such as nightly updates—or initiate a manual sync whenever you need it.

This automation eliminates the need for manual data entry, ensuring your WooCommerce store always reflects the latest product information from Rapid API without any hassle.

Step 6: Synchronizing Orders (If Supported by Rapid API)

If the Rapid API provider supports order management, our plugin will automatically send your WooCommerce orders back to the API. This ensures that your order data is synced and processed in real-time, facilitating smooth order management and preventing discrepancies between your WooCommerce store and the Rapid API system.
