By default, WooCommerce integration uses webhooks, which can retrieve product updates in near-real time. If webhooks are not supported, Marketplacer uses API polling to retrieve product updates every 15 minutes.
You must be using WooCommerce version 3.5 or later and WordPress version 4.4 or later to use this feature.
The benefits:
- Speed: Any changes to products in WooCommerce are reflected in Marketplacer in seconds, rather than 15 minutes. This is particularly important for inventory changes as it reduces oversell potential.
- Reliability: The integration is more resilient as only a single product would be affected by a failure, rather than all the products included in a batched job.
Important note: We create a webhook in the sellers WooCommerce site. It is important that the seller does not delete this, as doing so will stop the integration from working. It will look something like this:
Note: The integration is designed for a single seller to integrate into a single marketplace, there may be issues if a single WooCommerce site uses the integration to connect to multiple marketplaces.
