What suggestions do you make to develop the relationship between civiCRM and WooCommerce?

civicCRM use contacts and WooCommerce use Users.

Thank you for your response. 

My question is when I populate a client using contacts from civicrm, the  synchronization doesn't work in opposite way from contacts to users.

when I use WooCommerce access wp_users table, but it is not update from the contacts table from civicrm.  What do you suggest for this action to do?.

Thank you

I would love to sell memberships and create new donors upon sale of a Woocommerce product/subscription. Is there anyone working on something like that?

Hi Nilda,

Users is term for Wordpress user with account that will have one or more roles and thus have permissions associated with it. CiviCRM contacts do not necessarily have Wordpress users associated with them. It would help to understand how the contact is getting into CiviCRM but not becoming a user. Generally, you can use Advanced options on profiles to allow or require creating a User account when submitting a form with profiles on CiviCRM. Perhaps that will solve your problem.

In general, you will need to get a user logged in before the permissions they have will be used in the session.

To set up permissions (just in case you haven't): go to Administer > Users and Permissions > Permissions (Access Control), then click on » WordPress Access Control.

Jordan, you could redirect user from wooCommerce completion page to a CiviCRM contribution page that includes both memberships and donation option.

If you want to sell the membership and donation from with WooCommerce page and when complete to post the transaction(s) back to CiviCRM I have a potential client doing some of this. First I will be working on creating an API for CiviCRM to accept the order.
