WooCommerce Overview#

WooCommerce is a customizable, open-source eCommerce platform built on WordPress. With the WooCommerce API, you can tap into the heart of your eCommerce store to read, create, update, and delete products, orders, and customers. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate routine tasks, sync data across platforms, and enhance customer experiences. By connecting WooCommerce to a wide array of apps and services, you can streamline operations, trigger personalized marketing, and analyze your sales data with greater ease.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "woocommerce-new-product-event",
  name: "New Product Event (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event each time the specified product event(s) occur",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getSampleEvents({ perPage }) {
      return this.woocommerce.listProducts({
        per_page: perPage,
        orderby: "date",
      });
    },
    getTopic(topicType) {
      return `product.${topicType}`;
    },
    generateMeta(eventType, {
      id, name, date_modified: dateModified,
    }) {
      const ts = Date.parse(dateModified);
      return {
        id: `${id}${ts}`,
        summary: `Product "${name || id}" ${eventType}`,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
WooCommerce	`woocommerce`	`app`	This component uses the WooCommerce app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Event topics	`topics`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`createdupdateddeleted`

Trigger Authentication#

WooCommerce uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your WooCommerce account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to WooCommerce APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Find your API key at WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API. See the WooCommerce docs for more info. Enter the Key and Secret below.
