1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce Automation

To update existing WooCommerce products from one store to another, we are going to use Pabbly Connect. Start by signing into your Pabbly Connect account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can see all available applications.

Click on the big blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Update WooCommerce Product from One Store to Another’, and click on ‘Create’. This will set up a blank workflow where you can define the trigger and action.

2. Defining Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will define the trigger and action for the workflow using Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be set to WooCommerce, specifically the event ‘Product Updated’. This means whenever a product is updated in the first WooCommerce store, it will trigger the automation.

• Select WooCommerce as the trigger application.
• Choose the event ‘Product Updated’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, you will need to set up this webhook in your WooCommerce store. Go to the WooCommerce settings, navigate to the ‘Advanced’ tab, and then ‘Webhooks’. Create a new webhook with a name like ‘Product Update’, set the status to active, and paste the copied webhook URL in the Delivery URL section. Save the webhook to establish the connection.

3. Testing the Webhook Connection with Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, we need to test the connection using Pabbly Connect. Start by clicking on ‘Recapture Web Response’ in Pabbly Connect. This will wait for a response from WooCommerce when a product is updated.

To generate a response, go to your WooCommerce store, select a product, and make an edit. For instance, change the sale price of a product and click ‘Update’. Once the product is updated, you should see the response captured in Pabbly Connect with all the details of the updated product.

4. Retrieving Product Details from Another Store

Now that we have captured the product details, we will retrieve the corresponding product details from the second WooCommerce store using Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step and select WooCommerce again, but this time choose the event ‘Retrieve Product by Name or Slug’.

Connect to the second WooCommerce store by entering the consumer key and secret. These can be generated from the API settings of your second store. Make sure to copy the website URL correctly, ensuring there are no trailing slashes. After connecting, map the product slug from the previous step to fetch the relevant product details.

5. Updating the Product in the Second Store

Finally, we will use Pabbly Connect to update the product in the second WooCommerce store. Add another action step, selecting WooCommerce and the event ‘Update Product’. Here, you will need to fill in the product ID, name, slug, and other necessary details.

• Map the product ID from the retrieved product details.
• Input the updated sale price and other relevant fields.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to execute the update.

Once the update is successful, you can check the second WooCommerce store to confirm that the product details have been updated accordingly. This automation saves time by ensuring product updates are reflected across multiple stores without manual intervention.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to update existing WooCommerce products from one store to another using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can automate your WooCommerce product management and ensure consistency across your stores.
