Now, you will need to connect your WooCommerce account. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and enter your WooCommerce website URL, consumer key, and consumer secret. These keys can be generated in your WooCommerce settings under the REST API section.

Make sure to grant read and write permissions when generating API keys. Map the necessary fields such as Product ID, Product Name, Regular Price, and Sale Price from the Google Sheets response. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to update the product in WooCommerce.

Once the test request is successful, your WooCommerce product will reflect the updated details based on the information from your Google Sheets.

5. Testing the Automation with Pabbly Connect

To ensure everything is functioning correctly, add a new row to your Google Sheets with the details of a product you want to update or create. This should include the product name, ID, regular price, sale price, and image URL.

After entering the information, check your WooCommerce store to see if the product has been updated or created. If you added a product that doesn’t exist, it should be created automatically. If it already exists, it should be updated with the new details.

Verify that the product ID in your Google Sheets updates accordingly. Check for any errors in Pabbly Connect and adjust your workflow if necessary.

Once confirmed, your automation is now fully operational, allowing you to seamlessly manage product updates between Google Sheets and WooCommerce using Pabbly Connect.
