New User Notice

Create a Zapier Account

If you don’t have one yet, you will also need a Zapier account. Zapier can be used with a free plan, however, advanced functionalities are only available with paid plans. For pricing information, see Zapier’s Plans & Pricing page.

Create your first Zap

The next step is to create your first Zap, which is done via the Zapier.com interface.

Tip

If you haven’t created a Zap before, please refer to Zapier’s key concepts article before proceeding.

The simplest way to get started is to create a Zap using one of the Zap templates, as it is typically quicker than hand-crafting your own Zap from scratch.

For detailed instructions on creating your first Zap with WooCommerce, please refer to the Make a Zap instructions.

Authenticate

When you create your first WooCommerce Zap, you will be asked to choose your WooCommerce account.

The authentication process involves the Zapier.com service connecting to your WooCommerce store using your WordPress administrator username and password.

Use a WordPress Application Password for isolation and better compatibility

Using an application password (rather than your regular password) improves compatibility with security-related plugins and services. Also keeps user and service related access separated. See details in the Security Plugins chapter.

To set up an Application Password, go to WordPress DashboardSide MenuUsersProfile screen and press the “Add New Application Password” button. Please see here for details.

Can’t see the Application Passwords settings in WordPress? Please see here for suggestions.

Alternatively, you can use your regular WordPress password.

Please ensure you complete the authentication dialog window correctly:

  • In the WordPress Site Address (URL) field, enter the URL to your WordPress website’s home (front) page. Be sure the URL starts with https:// and does not include the trailing slash.
    For example: https://example.com
    If in doubt, go to the WordPress DashboardSide MenuSettingsGeneral screen and copy the Site Address (URL) field value and paste it into the WordPress Site Address (URL) field in the authentication dialog window.
  • In the WordPress Username field, enter your administrator username or email address that you use when logging into the WordPress dashboard.
  • In the WordPress Application Password field, create an Application Password for your WordPress administrator account or use your regular password, and enter it here.

Click the Yes, Continue to WooCommerce button to complete the process.

If you encounter an error whilst authenticating, please refer to the Authentication Troubleshooting guide for assistance.

Congratulations, you have successfully authenticated Zapier and your WooCommerce store!
