Import and Sync WooCommerce Products and Collections into Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge's WooCommerce integration imports products, collections, contacts, orders, and transactions, then keeps them in sync. WooCommerce remains the source of truth.

The Sparkforge WooCommerce integration pulls in your full store — products, collections, contacts, orders, and transactions — and keeps them in continuous sync. WooCommerce stays the source of truth for product data, so edits made there flow into Sparkforge automatically. Earlier versions of the integration only handled orders, contacts, and transactions; this update adds products and collections.

What you get

  • Full store import — products, collections, contacts, orders, and transactions in one connection.
  • Continuous sync — product and collection changes from WooCommerce flow through automatically.
  • Order triggers — Order Submitted and Payment Received events fire inside Sparkforge workflows.
  • Reconnect mode — if authentication breaks, the integration drops into a reconnect state and emails sub-account admins with recovery steps.

Connect your WooCommerce store

  1. Inside your Sparkforge sub-account, go to Settings > Integration > WooCommerce.
  2. Click Connect and enter your store URL — e.g., https://yourstore.com with no trailing slash.
  3. Follow the prompts to complete the OAuth handshake.
  4. Choose the data to import: contacts, orders, transactions, products, collections.
  5. Configure continuous sync for the data types and triggers you want active (Order Submitted, Payment Received, products, collections).
  6. Click Save to start the import.

To pull a fresh copy later, disconnect and reconnect the integration.

Product and collection import rules

  • Only Simple and Variable products import. Other product types are skipped.
  • Products with a $0 price or no variants are excluded.
  • The Include in Online Store toggle is enabled only for published WooCommerce products.
  • Only collections linked to imported products come through. Empty collections are ignored.
  • Deletions don't sync. Removing a product or collection in WooCommerce won't delete it in Sparkforge — clean up manually if needed.

Error handling and reconnection

If the integration hits an authentication failure (HTTP 401, 403, or 404), it switches to reconnect mode. Sub-account admins get an email with the steps to restore the connection. Order imports now include linked products and images for complete records, and sync runs faster than the prior version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which WooCommerce product types does Sparkforge import?
Simple and Variable products only. Grouped, External/Affiliate, and other product types are not imported. Products priced at $0 or with no variants are also skipped.
If I delete a product in WooCommerce, does it disappear from Sparkforge?
No. Product and collection deletions don't sync. WooCommerce is the source of truth for edits and additions, but you'll need to remove deleted items from Sparkforge manually.
How often does the sync run?
Sync runs continuously based on the settings you configure in the integration panel. There's no fixed schedule to manage.
What happens if my WooCommerce credentials break?
On a 401, 403, or 404 response, the integration enters reconnect mode and emails sub-account admins with steps to restore access. Sync resumes once you reauthorize.
Can I reimport everything from scratch?
Yes. Disconnect the integration, then reconnect to pull a fresh copy of your WooCommerce data.
