Sync historical orders to ActiveCampaign

Available with v1.5.0+ of the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin.

You can perform historical syncs through the WooCommerce WordPress plugin. This sync option will sync the following data from WooCommerce to your ActiveCampaign account:

• All contacts in your WooCommerce store who have made a purchase
• All contacts in your WooCommerce store who have opted in for marketing updates

This sync also lets you:

• See orders as they sync and which orders failed to sync
• View a progress bar where you can cancel, pause, or reset your sync

The historical sync will not sync previous abandoned cart data. In addition, synced historical data will not trigger any automations that use the "Makes a purchase" automation trigger.

To perform this sync:

1. Log into your WordPress account.
2. Locate the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin.
3. Select "Historical Sync" from the left menu.
4. Click the "Start Historical Sync" button.

Once complete, you can locate the sync report under "Last Historical Sync Results."

Sync Abandoned Carts

Available with v1.5.0+ of the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin.

Abandoned carts will not sync via historical order sync, but rather through active syncing once the plugin is installed and activated.

Abandoned carts can be synced via their own syncing job, either in a bulk sync or for individual abandoned carts.

These abandoned carts will trigger active abandoned cart automations when they are synced manually.

To sync abandoned carts:

1. Log into your WordPress account.
2. Locate the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin.
3. Select "Abandoned Carts" from the left menu.
4. To sync all abandoned carts - Click the "Start Sync Abandoned Carts" button.
5. To sync a specific abandoned cart - Click the “Sync” button on that abandoned cart record

Sync Recurring Payments

To use Recurring Payments:

• Ensure you are on version 2.6 or later of the WooCommerce integration
• Install Woo Subscriptions app in WooCommerce

Recurring Payment data and options will appear in ActiveCampaign once you run a historical sync or when a new subscription is purchased. Doing one of these actions will push the subscription data to sync from your store into ActiveCampaign.

Learn more about Recurring Payments.

Sync Products

Available with v1.9.0+ of the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin

ActiveCampaign allows WooCommerce users to sync the store’s entire product catalog so products can be displayed in Emails using the product catalog email designer block.

To sync products:

1. Log into your WordPress account.
2. Locate the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin.
3. Select "Product Sync" from the left menu.
4. To sync products, click the “Schedule Product Sync Jobs” button.

Troubleshooting the WooCommerce integration

If you’re receiving an error message when setting up the WooCommerce Deep Data integration, there could be a few reasons. Learn more about the possible connection errors that can appear when configuring the WooCommerce Deep Data integration in the Troubleshooting WooCommerce Deep Data integration connection issues article.

Reconnect the WooCommerce integration

If you are experiencing issues with your WooCommerce integration, we recommend reconnecting the integration or using the repair connection ID button in the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin.

Reconnecting your integration will reauthenticate your ecommerce store. Doing this can resolve errors coming from the store to ActiveCampaign that can interrupt data syncing.

To reconnect the integration:

1. Go to the Settings > Integrations page in your ActiveCampaign account.
2. Click the “Manage” button.
3. Click “Reconnect.”

To repair the connection ID:

1. Go to the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin > Settings > Advanced Settings.
2. Click “Repair Connection ID.”

“Delete integration” option

The “Delete integration” option should only be used if you no longer use that WooCommerce store. If you are experiencing issues with your Woocommerce integration, try to reconnect your integration first.

If that does not help, contact our Customer Experience Team so we can assist you further.

Note that once the integration is deleted, future orders and customer data will not sync to ActiveCampaign. You will not lose any previously synced data.

To delete the integration:

1. Go to the Settings > Integrations page in your ActiveCampaign account.
2. Click the “Manage” button.
3. Click "Delete integration."
