Zoho Inventory and WooCommerce for B2B
As of 2024, WooCommerce dominates the e-commerce landscape, powering over 4.5M live stores [source: Store Leads]. As part of WordPress‘s open ecosystem, WooCommerce has a well-developed API and many integration plugins. Most of these plugins are designed for the simplest use case: the business sells products, and customers pay for them through WooCommerce’s integrated payment gateways. It’s a pure B2C use case; things are different for the B2B segment. Our solution covers that gap.
Zoho Inventory / WooCommerce Integration Plugins
There are many Zoho Partners and independent providers who offer the integration between Zoho platform and WooCommerce. You, the potential customer, should know that there are only two ways to integrate them: use a WordPress plugin or create a fully custom, API-based integration.
Concerning the WooCommerce / Zoho Inventory integration plugins: if we see that one of the following plugins can fit the customer’s business processes, we use them. However, they do not work well for the wholesalers and distributors where the WooCommerce does not perform financial transactions.
-
Also known as the WooZo Inventory plugin, it’s one of the best-in-class WooCommerce integration plugins available on the Zoho Marketplace. Prices start from $120/year + applicable taxes.
-
The Zoho Books & Inventory Integration pluginThe Zoho Books & Inventory Integration plugin (that’s an actual name!) is a feed-based product offered by no one else but WooCommerce itself. It’s made by WPSwings and cost $99/year.
-
Another product listed on Zoho Marketplace, the pricing starts from $480/year.
Even if the plugin’s logic and configuration options are checking all the boxes for the particular use case, the implementation team must have a solid grasp of Zoho Inventory’s object model for effective use of these plugins. Because how can one set up a data feed if they don’t know what the fields are? We frequently encounter customers who contact us after facing challenges following their initial DIY attempts.
