Purchase WooCommerce Zapier

To use WooCommerce Zapier, you will need to purchase the WooCommerce Zapier extension from the Woo Extension Store.

Zapier Account

You will also need a Zapier Account.

Zapier Offers Both Free and Paid Plans

WooCommerce Zapier can be used with a free Zapier plan, however, advanced functionality such as Premium Apps and Multi-step Zaps (to use Filter and Paths) are only available for paid plans.

Free plans also limit the number of tasks per month, so WooCommerce stores with higher order volumes will be more likely to need a paid Zapier plan.

For further pricing information see Zapier’s Plans & Pricing page.

If you don’t have one, you can sign up on the Zapier website. Select the Sign Up button or just enter your information in the available form.

1. One-Click Install/Update Method

This method allows you to install and update the WooCommerce Zapier extension directly from your WordPress Dashboard.

WooCommerce.com Update Manager is required for WooCommerce version 8.8 or later.

Install the WooCommerce.com Update Manager plugin to establish a connection between your website and WooCommerce.com and enable automatic updates.

Please visit the Managing WooCommerce.com Subscriptions page and download the WooCommerce Update Manager.

Install the plugin using the WordPress Dashboard plugin interface. You can find a step-by-step guide on how to do this here: Upload via WordPress Admin

  1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard → Side Menu → WooCommerce → Extensions → My Subscriptions screen and verify that your WooCommerce.com account is connected and your WooCommerce Zapier license is active.
  2. On your WordPress Dashboard → Side Menu → WooCommerce → Extensions → My Subscriptions screen, click the Refresh button (top right) to force a refresh of your account data from WooCommerce.com.
  3. Find WooCommerce Zapier in the list of extensions and click the one-click Install button.

WooCommerce Zapier should now be installed, and this is also the easiest way to keep your WooCommerce Zapier plugin up to date.

2. File Upload

Alternatively, can also install WooCommerce Zapier by uploading the plugin zip file directly to your WordPress Dashboard.

  1. Log in to your WooCommerce.com account and go to the Downloads page to download the latest zip file of the WooCommerce Zapier extension to your computer.
  2. From your WordPress Dashboard, go to the Side Menu → Plugins screen and click the Add New Plugin and then Upload Plugin button at the top of the page. Select the zip file from your computer and click the Install Now button then the Activate button to activate WooCommerce Zapier.

Tip

Some web browsers automatically unarchive downloaded Zip files. Make sure this functionality is disabled.

We also suggest going to WordPress Dashboard → Side Menu → WooCommerce → Extensions → My Extensions screen to connect your WooCommerce.com account, so that you have access to future WooCommerce Zapier versions from within your WordPress Dashboard.

Check the Installation

Finally, it is best to go to the WordPress Dashboard → Side Menu → WooCommerce → Status screen, and review the Active Plugins section to ensure that the WooCommerce Zapier plugin is up to date.
