Client and The Problem

Client had a fully functional API for their application but lacked integration options for WordPress/WooCommerce users. They needed a custom WooCommerce plugin that would allow WordPress users to seamlessly access their application's features through the WooCommerce ecosystem. The plugin needed to be compatible with all WooCommerce versions to ensure broad adoption and provide a smooth user experience for WordPress site owners.

Solution

We developed a comprehensive WooCommerce plugin from scratch that integrates with the Client's existing API. The solution included creating a robust plugin structure following WordPress and WooCommerce best practices, implementing proper hooks and filters, and designing an intuitive admin interface for configuration. We built secure API communication handling authentication, request/response processing, error handling, and data synchronization between WooCommerce and the Client's application. We ensured the plugin works across all WooCommerce versions through extensive testing, implemented fallback mechanisms for different WooCommerce versions, and validated both Classic and Block-based checkout flows. The integration feels native to WooCommerce with comprehensive documentation and proper error messaging and logging for troubleshooting.

Results

Successfully delivered a custom WooCommerce plugin that integrates with the Client's existing API, enabling WordPress users to access their application through WooCommerce. The plugin maintains compatibility across all WooCommerce versions, provides a native WooCommerce experience, and includes comprehensive documentation for easy installation and configuration. The project was completed in 3 months with thorough testing ensuring reliable API integration and seamless user experience.
