Connecting your WooCommerce store to Zoho Bigin involves installing our Integration for Bigin by Zoho CRM Plugin. 

Step 1 – Install the Plugin

• Download the .zip file from your WooCommerce account.
• Log into your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Add New

• Click on the Upload Plugin button at the top and upload the .zip file of the plugin.
• Install the plugin and click Activate to get started

Step 2 – Connect to Zoho Bigin

Using the plugin functionality, you can easily connect your Zoho Bigin account to your WooCommerce store.

Click on “Connect Your Account.”

Select your country-specific domain from the available options, then click “Login & Authorize” and grant authorization.

You’ll be redirected to the Zoho Bigin authentication portal (as shown in the screenshot above). Verify your account details and, once confirmed, click “Accept.”

After successful authentication, you’ll be redirected back to the plugin. Click “Move to the Next Step.”

You’ll be prompted to create feeds. The default feeds are Contacts, Products, Accounts (Company), and Pipelines. Click “Create Feeds.”

Lastly, after completing all the required processes, you’ll be redirected to the Plugin’s actual dashboard, which looks like the above.

In the dashboard, you’ll find details such as synced contacts, products, companies, and pipelines. 

At the top, you can see the authorized user’s name and their ID. You also have the option to reauthorize or disconnect the account.

In this section, we’ll explore the different options available under a specific feed. For this explanation, I’ll be using the Product Feed as an example, but the options remain the same across all feeds, including Pipelines, Contacts, and Accounts (company).

Some options that are new and unique in each feed will be explained, respectively.

Click on the edit icon to start editing this feed.

Once you click on the edit icon, you will see a ton of options.Let’s see each of them in detail.

The Next option you have is to map respective fields to their respective value. You can map them as per your requirements

In this section, you get the option to add additional fields to map in the synchronization process.

In this section, you get the option to synchronize product images along with additional data that you have initially mapped in the feed section

If you like to sync multiple variations of a product along with the initial data, you can check  this option.

You can choose a field that will act as the “Primary Key” to identify and update existing records. 

For example, you might use fields like Product Name or Product Code, since these are usually unique for each customer or order.

Also, make sure the “Do not allow duplicate values” option is enabled in the field’s settings. 

This prevents the system from creating duplicate records when syncing data.

In this section of the Select Event Settings, you need to choose an event that will trigger the synchronization of your WooCommerce data with Bigin. 

These event settings are important because they help capture and record real-time data whenever a transaction or activity occurs in your store. 

With conditional filters, you can control when data should sync from WooCommerce to Bigin. The sync will only occur if the conditions you set are met.

Zoho Bigin Integration plugin allows you to sync all shipping details from your WooCommerce store to Zoho Bigin. This can be done either via bulk sync or instant sync, giving you flexibility based on your workflow.

Settings Overview:

• Add Order Line Item as Product: Enable this option to include each order line item as a product in Zoho Bigin.

   

• Add Shipping as Line Item: Check this option to sync shipping costs as a separate line item within the order.

   

• Shipping Product: This field shows the shipping product created in Zoho Bigin. You can create a new shipping product or update an existing one if needed.

   

• Shipping Amount: Select whether you want to sync the Order Shipping Total or Shipping Total including Tax. 

You can track shipping details precisely, either as part of the order or as a separate product, ensuring your sales data in Zoho Bigin fully matches your WooCommerce store.

Here is how a shipping product will show over Bigin.

Zoho Bigin Integration plugin allows you to map WooCommerce order statuses to corresponding stages in your sales pipeline. 

For instance, “Pending Payment” orders are assigned to the “Needs Analysis” stage, indicating that more details are needed, while “Processing” orders are mapped to the “Proposal/Price Quote” stage, where the customer is reviewing the offer. “Completed” orders move to “Closed Won,” signaling a successful sale, whereas “Cancelled,” “Refunded,” and “Failed” orders are synced to “Closed Lost,” indicating a lost deal

This integration simplify your workflow by automatically aligning WooCommerce order statuses with Zoho Bigin’s sales pipeline stages, improving order management and tracking.

Here is how it’ll show on Bigin dashboard.

You can sync refund details from WooCommerce directly into Zoho Bigin, including essential information like the refund amount, reason, id, and date

Just map them to their respective fields and start syncing using either one click or bulk sync.

With the Zoho Bigin Integration plugin, you can easily sync tax rates from your WooCommerce store to Zoho Bigin. You can set up different tax rates in WooCommerce, such as Standard, Reduced, or Zero rates, and map them directly to Zoho Bigin.

If you create new tax rates in Zoho Bigin, you can select them in the plugin settings. If you don’t see the new rates, you can refresh the fields to update the list.

Here is how these applied taxes will show on products over bigin.

Zoho Bigin Integration plugin supports multiple currencies, making it easy to manage international sales. When syncing data, both the store’s base currency and the customer’s shopping currency are shown in Zoho Bigin.

To make this work, you need to create multiple currencies in Bigin as per your requirements and activate them.

Once activated, go to the plugin’s pipelines feed and add a new currency feed.

In this feed, you’ll see options for all the currencies you’ve added in Bigin, as shown in the screenshot above.

Note: If these options aren’t showing up, try refreshing your fields. Also, if you’ve made any other changes in your Bigin dashboard, like updates to currency, taxes, or anything else, make sure to refresh the fields so everything stays up to date.

Finally, update the feed, and sync via once click or bulk sync. You can also utilize other options for later syncronization like when an event occurs or using background sync.

This is the next tab in the plugin backend that serves the data synchronization purpose for your WooCommerce store over Bigin. This tab offers two data synchronization methods, namely-

Bulk Data Sync- This type of synchronization process involves historical data sync. You can easily make use of this feature available in the plugin if you have a large amount of historical data. 

As the name suggests, the feature offers easy bulk data synchronization. You just need to provide the specific Object and the respective Feed associated with that to get started with the process.

One-Click Sync- Due to network or other constraints, procedures might miss or fail to record(newly added data) a few data chunks while recording data from your WooCommerce store utilizing Bigin by Zoho CRM.  

Here comes the One-Click Sync.

This is the very next tab available in the plugin backend, which offers a detailed log table of all your data transactions performed. 

This detailed report of your sync logs contains descriptive data about the errors that were generated based on various defined criteria like Objects, Object ID, Feed, and so on.

Log data consists of an error filter, along with other specific controls available in this section, including Reload for syncing data refresh without reloading the page, Clear Log for deleting synced log data, and Download for easy downloading of synced data for further use.

This can be a useful tool for assisting you in having a clear knowledge and analysis of all your recorded transactions, as well as telling you a lot about what went wrong so you can quickly find out the problems and troubleshoot

We’ve added a new feature that lets you sync abandoned cart data with Zoho Bigin. You can turn this feature on or off, choose when a cart should be marked as abandoned, automatically delete old abandoned cart data, and save the data in an HTML-encoded format.
