WooCommerce Integration: A Complete Guide ⭐️

Introduction


WooCommerce is the world's #1 online store plugin. With Stylish Cost Calculator, your customers will be able to configure and customize your products/services, get a quote via email, and process the payment easily with the WooCommerce checkout.



Uses Cases, Benefits & Features


Benefits & Features


  • Increased Visibility: Products labeled as new or highlighted with specific tags capture more customer attention.
  • Enhanced Communication: Clearly communicates important details like new arrivals or special conditions through visual cues.
  • Boosted Sales: Attracts customers to promoted items, potentially increasing purchase rates.


Use Cases


  • E-commerce Stores: Mark new product arrivals as "New" to stimulate quick customer interest.
  • Retail Apps: Use warnings or disclaimers on products requiring special attention or restrictions.
  • Online Bookstores: Highlight bestsellers or newly released titles to guide customer purchasing decisions.


Stylish Cost Calculator is able to trigger the sale of an individual product or variant, add it to the cart, and specify its quantity. It will add the product to the cart for checkout.


I can also send the units of a selected product (sliders) and one unit for dropdowns and checkboxes (unless you linked a slider to a dropdown box) to the corresponding product in WooCommerce. For example, if the user selects 10 units of Product A, it passes 10 units to Product A in WooCommerce.

How to Activate & Use This Feature


Settings & Options


Option 1 - Link each product one by one.


This option takes longer to set up but looks more professional since it will have individual line items on the WooCommerce invoice.


Step 1


Create a product in WooCommerce


  • a. Set the price
  • b. Set a product image
  • c. Set the name


Step 2


Activate the WooCommerce in your individual calculator (bottom of the page)



Step 3


Select the dropdown in each element to link to an existing product in WooCommerce.



Benefits: More granular control, better inventory tracking, looking more professional, conditional pricing.

Cons: It doesn’t work with the

Fee & Discount Adjuster, Advanced Pricing Formula, or discount coupons, and takes longer to set up.


Option 2 - Combine Line-Items


If you are using any of the following, you need to activate this setting:


  • Coupon Codes
  • Fee & Discount Adjuster
  • Advanced Pricing Formula
  • Negative Numbers


This allows you to build a custom product item with Woocommerce, Stripe or PayPal.


Step 1


Click combine one product line item:



Create a generic product that is relevant to your calculator form.


It will look like this once in the WooCommerce cart: (after being combined)



Benefits: Works with the Fee & Discount Adjuster element, Advanced Pricing Formula and custom discounts, easier to set up.


Cons: No inventory control, less professional looking (all items are grouped in one product code).


Dynamic Pricing (Sliding Scale, Price Break, Bulk Discounts)


If you require a condition on the pricing (for example: If you purchase 10 units, you get 10% off) then you can do this with the help of an additional plugin. Or, you can activate this option https://i.imgur.com/6XrJvHC.png


Third-Party Plugin: https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-dynamic-pricing-discounts/7119279


Please keep in mind that this will only work with our slider or dropdown elements. Sliders have the ability to change the per-unit price based on quantity, and dropdown elements have the ability to set a new price for each option in the dropdown.


By activating the "combine items into a single item" your invoices will only have one line item instead of showing each product and service separately.


Recurring Subscriptions (Products/Services)


Recurring payments are possible via the Stripe subscriptions feature. Read more:

Special Notes


Remember to ensure the product's price in woocommerce matches the price of the item in the stylish cost calculator plugin. It's your responsibility to make sure the prices match.


Remember that the price break feature of the slider will not work right away for woocommerce users.


This is because the Add To Cart price will always be pulled from the price you set at the product price of the woocommerce product. You will need to purchase a third-party plugin for dynamic pricing to make it work.

We recommend this one. https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-dynamic-pricing-discounts/7119279

Remember to make sure the core woocommerce plugin is activated already before starting these steps.

Limitations


  • Automatically Create Products

Stylish Cost Calculator is not able to create new products. You must create the product (or variant) manually in Woocommerce and SCC at the same time, then link. See video below


  • Fee & Discount Adjuster & Advanced Pricing Formula

Stylish Cost Calculator may not be able to send custom prices to woocommerce.


  • Live Currency Conversion

You may need a third-party plugin to get the currency of the user's browser to show at the WooCommerce end.


  • Shipping Rates

You will need to configure the shipping rates at the WooCommerce end using their functionality. If you want to show this on the Calculator Form, then use the Fee & Discount Adjuster module and make the math the same at the WooCommerce end.


Syncing Limitations


For security purposes, WooCommerce doesn't allow us to add or alter the price of their products. The price of the element (product/service) in SCC (Stylish Cost Calculator) has to match the price of the product in WooCommerce.


For example, if Product A is $100 in WooCommerce, then it must also be $100 in Stylish Cost Calculator.
