ZapBridge – Zapier Integration

What is ZapBridge?

ZapBridge is a WordPress plugin for WooCommerce that automatically sends your store activity (like orders or customer actions) to any webhook URL. It works seamlessly with automation platforms like Zapier, Make.com, or custom endpoints.

Requirements

• A WordPress website
• WooCommerce installed
• A webhook URL (provided by services like Zapier, Make.com, or your developer)

Installing ZapBridge

4. Click Install Now
5. After installation, click Activate

Setup & Configuration

↑ Back to top

1. Go to ZapBridge Settings in your WordPress admin menu
2. Enter your Webhook URL in the provided field

4. Click Save Settings

Usage

↑ Back to top

Once configured, ZapBridge runs in the background. Every selected event is automatically sent to your webhook – no manual intervention required.

Supported Events

↑ Back to top

• Order Created – fires when a new order is placed (including block checkout, admin‑created, and REST API orders)
• Order Status Changed – triggers on status transitions (e.g., processing, completed, cancelled)
• Product Added to Cart – when a customer adds an item
• Product Added to Wishlist – when a wishlist action occurs
• New Customer Registered – when a user creates an account

You can test each event directly from the Logs tab using the “Send test event” button – no real order required.

Delivery Logs & Automatic Retries

↑ Back to top

All deliveries are logged in a new Logs tab, showing every attempt with status, response body, duration, and retry history. You can manually Retry or Replay any failed delivery.

If a delivery fails, ZapBridge automatically retries using the following schedule:

• 1 minute
• 5 minutes
• 30 minutes
• 2 hours
• 6 hours

After all retries are exhausted, the delivery enters a dead‑letter state and can be retried manually via the logs. All failures are also written to the WooCommerce logger under the zapbridge source.

Security: HMAC‑SHA256 Signatures

↑ Back to top

Every request sent to your webhook includes an X‑ZapBridge‑Signature header, signed with a per‑site secret. You can find this secret on the Settings tab and regenerate it at any time. Use it to verify that incoming payloads are genuinely from ZapBridge.

Use Cases

↑ Back to top

• Get instant order notifications in Slack
• Save orders automatically in Google Sheets
• Send customer data to your CRM
• Trigger email or SMS alerts
• Connect WooCommerce with Zapier or Make.com workflows

FAQ

↑ Back to top

What data is sent in the payload?

Order payloads include line items with SKUs, billing/shipping addresses, coupons, currency, totals, tax, payment method, and customer name. Cart, wishlist, and customer payloads are enriched with product and customer details. All data is sent as application/json.

Why is nothing being sent?

• Verify the webhook URL is correct
• Ensure the plugin is activated
• Check that WooCommerce is functioning properly
• Review the Logs tab for error details

Do I need coding skills?

No. ZapBridge is designed for beginners – just paste your webhook URL and you’re done.

How long are logs kept?

Logs are automatically pruned daily, retaining the last 30 days or the latest 10,000 entries, whichever is reached first.

Can I customise the payload or add headers?

Yes. Developers can use the provided filters:

Developer Notes

↑ Back to top

ZapBridge is built with extensibility in mind. New actions and filters (listed in the changelog) allow you to modify behaviour, add custom connections, override timeouts, and more. The plugin is fully compatible with HPOS, Cart/Checkout blocks, and passes PHPStan level 5 and PHPCompatibility checks.

Uninstallation cleanly removes settings and optionally drops delivery tables if you choose. All hooks follow WordPress naming standards, and the plugin is translation‑ready.
