Important notes
Important notes
Please read the notes below to explore the intricacies of the integration between WooCommerce and Ivorey™:
Customer Roles Import: Only users with the roles of Customer or Subscriber in WooCommerce will be imported as contacts
Contact Creation When Sync Is Disabled: If contact sync is turned off but order sync is enabled, Ivorey™ will still create a contact for each order
Guest Checkout: Orders placed by guest customers will create contacts in Ivorey™, but no additional customer data will sync beyond the order details
Order Status Mapping: WooCommerce order statuses are mapped as follows:
Completed or Refunded > Completed
Cancelled or Failed > Cancelled
All other statuses > Pending
Order Details: Orders imported from WooCommerce will display a WooCommerce subtype on the Orders page for easy identification
Product Import Limitations: Only Simple and Variable product types are imported. Other product types will be excluded. Products with zero price or no variants will also not be imported
Product Visibility: Only published WooCommerce products will have the Include in Online Store toggle enabled. Unpublished products will be skipped during import
Source of Truth: WooCommerce is treated as the source of truth for product data. Any changes made in WooCommerce will be reflected in the synced products
Category Import Limitations: Only product categories that are actively linked to products will be imported. Unused or unassigned categories will be excluded
Deletions Not Synced: Deleting products or categories in WooCommerce will not delete them from your Ivorey™ catalog. All deletions must be managed manually if needed

Optimise Your Triggers: Use automation triggers like Order Submitted and Payment Received to send order confirmations, payment notifications, and follow-ups.
Track Guest Checkouts: Guest orders create contacts automatically. While these won’t sync for future updates, they’re a valuable way to grow your lead database
