Connect WooCommerce

Connecting WooCommerce takes about two minutes and needs no code. You type your store's address in Clakta and approve the connection in your WordPress admin.

Before you start

Check three things first:

1. WooCommerce is installed and active on your WordPress site.
2. Your store's address starts with https://. Most hosting companies turn this on for free. If yours starts with http://, ask your host to enable SSL.
3. You can sign in to WordPress as an administrator or a shop manager.

Connect

1. Open your project and go to Project settings → Sales platforms.
2. Find WooCommerce and click Connect.
3. Type your store's address, for example https://yourstore.com, and click Connect store. A new window opens on your own site.
4. If WordPress asks you to, sign in.
5. WooCommerce shows a screen saying Clakta would like to connect to your store. Click Approve.

The window closes on its own, and the WooCommerce card now shows your store's name and Added.

Clakta then creates two webhooks in your store, named Clakta (order.created) and Clakta (order.updated), under WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Webhooks. Leave them as they are. It also imports your orders from the last 60 days (never from before the project was created) and starts receiving new ones.

Turn on the Clakta script

The connection doesn't install the Clakta script, which records the visits to your store. Without it orders still arrive, but Clakta only knows the source WooCommerce saved on each order. Set it up once:

1. In Clakta, go to Project settings → Script, create a script and add your store's domain. See Install the tracking script for each field.
2. Open Install instructions on the script's row and copy the code.
3. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin, search for WPCode, then install and activate it.
4. Open Code Snippets → Header & Footer, paste the code into the Header box and click Save Changes.
