WooCommerce has all the important features you need to create a great e-shop. It has great blogging features, embedded products, checkout systems, custom categories, tags, product ratings and reviews, and unlimited image galleries amongst others.
The possibilities are endless– you can start selling both digital and physical goods, sell affiliate products, provide shipping options, payment gateways, tax options, and even geolocation support. WooCommerce can also help you with better order management and store optimization so more people will find your products online.

- After the restart, find the WooCommerce Orders plugin active at the top of the list and click on the cogwheel configuration button. Put in your Store URL, Admin Slug, Consumer Key, and Consumer Secret, and click on Save.

How to integrate WooCommerce with LiveAgent via Zapier
If you want to create a custom-tailored integration, you can try doing so with Zapier. If you don’t have a Zapier account, create one here. After that continue to the LiveAgent + WooCommerce integrations page.
You can select your own triggers and actions to create a custom integration between the two apps. A trigger in one app will activate the action in the second app, creating an integration between the two.

- Scroll down to the Connect LiveAgent + WooCommerce in Minutes section. Here’s where you can choose what will happen within your custom integration.
There are multiple options to choose from, so consider what kind of workflow would you like. When you selected the trigger and action, click on the blue continue button.

- The following step is easy enough, although it can vary depending on the trigger and the action options you choose. In our case, we had to log in to the trigger app with our WordPress log-in details and provide access to Zapier. There is also a trigger test that will check the connection to the trigger app.

- The next step is the action configuration. We selected the action Create Conversation which means an email will be sent to our ticketing system each time a new product is added in WooCommerce.
We had to select a respective LiveAgent department, fill out email addresses, the message subject, and text, and fill out non-required fields such as names, email copies, and message ID.

The final step is the integration test, so go ahead and test your workflow. You can also check your LiveAgent dashboard to see if you received any email notifications.
