What you'll need
- An active WhatsApp Business account with permission to install apps
- An active WooCommerce account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in WooCommerce to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account

- Step 02
Authenticate WhatsApp Business
Click "Add Connection" and select WhatsApp Business from the app directory. You'll be redirected to WhatsApp Business's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate WooCommerce
Same process for WooCommerce. Click "Add Connection," select WooCommerce, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your orders, products, and customer data. You choose which store data the integration can read.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new message received in whatsapp business or new order placed in woocommerce. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action

Is my WhatsApp Business data secure when connected to WooCommerce?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your WhatsApp Business or WooCommerce passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your communication data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between WhatsApp Business and WooCommerce?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either WhatsApp Business or WooCommerce. For example, create a workflow where WhatsApp Business events update WooCommerce, and a separate one where WooCommerce changes sync back to WhatsApp Business. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect WhatsApp Business and WooCommerce?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use WhatsApp Business and WooCommerce, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
