Let_sGetStarted__1_.png

Available on Plus, Professional, and Enterprise plans.

The ActiveCampaign WooCommerce integration lets you send actionable purchase and abandoned cart data directly from a WooCommerce store to your ActiveCampaign account.

You can use this data to send customized follow-up emails to your contacts, trigger automations to run based on abandoned cart data for both logged-in customers and guests, create list segments, configure automation goals, and more.

Take note

  • You need WooCommerce 3.0 or greater and the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce WordPress plugin 1.2.0 to configure this integration
  • Orders that sync to ActiveCampaign that are later deleted in WooCommerce will still appear in ActiveCampaign

How to set up the WooCommerce Deep Data Integration

To set up the integration, you must authorize the connection in your ActiveCampaign account, then configure the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce WordPress plugin.

Once both steps are complete, the integration will:

  • Sync all checkouts, abandoned carts, and "Accepts marketing" opt-in preferences for logged in customers and guests
  • Sync orders of any status for synced contacts as they happen, including orders where payment is accepted, pending, failed, and refunded. These will show up in your ActiveCampaign account as either "Completed" or "Processing"
  • Add the following tag to profile records for synced contacts in ActiveCampaign:
    woocommerce-customer

This integration will not track refunded or canceled orders. 

Step 1: Authorize the connection in your ActiveCampaign account

In this first step, you need to establish and authorize the connection. This connection will also let you sync contact and purchase data to your ActiveCampaign account.

From your ActiveCampaign account:

  1. Click "Settings" (gear icon) located on the left menu.
  2. Click the "Integrations" option. The "Connected Integrations" page will open.
  3. Click the "Add an Integration" button. A modal window will appear.
  4. Click the WooCommerce option.
  5. Enter the URL of your WooCommerce website, then click the "Connect" button. We'll redirect you to your WooCommerce store, where you can authorize the connection.
  6. When finished, click "Done" in the modal.

Step 2: Configure the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce WordPress plugin

Once you establish the connection, you need to configure the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce WordPress plugin. You need to log into your WordPress account to complete this portion of the setup. This plugin lets you:

  • Sync future abandoned cart data to your ActiveCampaign account. It is not possible to sync previous abandoned cart data
  • Set a wait time before triggering any automation that uses the "Abandons Cart" trigger
  • Show or hide an "Opt-in" checkbox
  • Sync opt-in preference data for both logged-in customers and guests. Once synced, contacts will appear in the appropriate "Has or Has not accepted marketing" segment results.

To configure the plugin:

  1. Log into your WordPress account.
  2. Navigate to "Plugins"> "Add New" and search for the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce plugin.
  3. Install the plugin.
  4. Click the "Connection" tab under the ActiveCampaign for WooCommerce Settings and enter your ActiveCampaign API URL and Key.
  5. Click the "Update Settings" button.
  6. Click the "Store Settings" tab. Under this tab are two settings for you to configure: Abandoned Cart and Opt-in Checkbox.
    • Abandoned Cart - choose how long ActiveCampaign should wait after a contact abandons their cart before triggering an abandoned cart automation. Select the option that works best for you
    • Opt-in Checkbox - Configure what text should appear next to the opt-in checkbox and whether that checkbox should be visible and checked by default. Select the option that works best for you
  7. When finished, click the "Update Settings" button.

Sync historical orders

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 to run 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 WooCommerce abandoned cart data

An abandoned cart happens when a customer adds items to their shopping cart then leaves your store before completing their purchase.

This integration syncs abandoned cart data for logged-in customers and guests. It will also create profile records for customers who abandon their cart and do not yet have a record in ActiveCampaign.

Data in the Ecommerce object

When contacts sync through this integration, their order(s), as well as abandoned cart information, will display in an Ecommerce object on their profile page:

The Ecommerce object will also display:

  • Order Date and time

  • List of products included in the order

Clicking the Order ID number in "Order Details" will open the order in your connected WooCommerce store.

When a contact abandons a cart or completes a purchase, you'll see an entry for that activity in the contact's activity stream:

  2. Click the "Disconnect" button

Future orders and customer data will not sync to ActiveCampaign. You will not lose any previously synced data.
