Integrating Sendlane and WooCommerce allows you to automatically sync customers to Sendlane so you can stay in touch via targeted email campaigns and automation funnels! 

In This Guide

🚦 Before Getting Started

Complete these steps before starting the WooCommerce/Sendlane integration process:

  • Create a WooCommerce account for your eCommerce store
  • Create a List for your WooCommerce abandoned cart customers

🚨 Some custom fields do not sync with Sendlane

Custom fields that contain _playback_ or are any format other than simple string, numeric, or null, will not sync with Sendlane.

  20. Select a default list. This is the list your existing contacts will be added to, and where new contacts will be added after completing a purchase in your store. 

  21. Click Continue 

  22. You'll see the integration status as Initializing first, then Syncing as the data starts to transfer - please give the system just a bit of time to process here, then once the status updates to Installed you're all set!

Your integration is now complete! You can now develop targeted Campaigns and Automations for your WooCommerce audience!

WooCommerce customer data from the last 90 days will now be available in Sendlane, and any new leads or customers will automatically be synced over as well, enabling you to develop targeted Campaigns and Automations for your WooCommerce audience!
