Once your store is connected, AutoSync looks after your stock levels and prices for you. On a regular sync schedule, AutoSync gathers the latest availability and pricing and applies it to the matching products in your store — so your listings stay reliably up to date without spreadsheets, CSV imports, or manual edits. You stay in control of what’s managed. On the plugin’s settings page you choose which of your product categories hold tires and which hold wheels. Only products in those categories are synced — everything else in your store is left untouched. #### Before you start This plugin is a companion to AutoSync and is only useful if you have an AutoSync account. To learn more or sign up, visit https://autosynccorp.com/. You’ll also need WooCommerce active on your store. Setup takes only a few minutes— see the Installation tab. ### External services The plugin makes no outbound network requests of its own. Instead, it registers authenticated REST API endpoints that AutoSync’s servers connect to, using the WooCommerce REST API keys you generate and enter into AutoSync. Through those endpoints AutoSync: * reads product and inventory data for the categories you configure — product/variation ID, SKU, name, brand, regular price, and stock quantity; * writes stock-quantity and regular-price updates back to those products. Only product and inventory data is shared with AutoSync. The plugin does not transmit customer data, order data, or any personally identifiable information. ## Installation 1. Install and activate WooCommerce. 2. Upload and activate this plugin. 3. Go to **WordPress admin Settings AutoSync WC Connect**. 4. **Tire categories** — start typing a category name and pick from the suggestions; selected categories appear as removable chips. Subcategories show as breadcrumb paths (e.g. “Tires › All-Season › Heavy-Duty”) so same-named categories under different parents are unambiguous. 5. **Wheel categories** — same for wheels. 6. **Save Changes**. Categories can be added or removed at any time. The next sync run picks up the new configuration automatically — no AutoSync-side change needed. ## FAQ ### Do I need an AutoSync account? Yes. This plugin connects your store to AutoSync and only works together with an AutoSync account. Visit https://autosynccorp.com/ to get started. ### Which products get synced? Only products in the categories you select on the **Settings AutoSync WC Connect** page — the ones you mark as tire categories and wheel categories. Anything outside those categories is never touched. ### Will my customer or order data be shared? No. Only product and inventory data (such as stock quantity and price) for the categories you choose is shared with AutoSync. Customer information and orders are never transmitted. ### Nothing is syncing, or my product list looks empty Make sure you’ve selected at least one category for the product type in question on the settings page. Until a tire category is chosen, tire data stays empty; the same applies to wheels. ### My store uses a different brand plugin By default the plugin reads brands from the standard `product_brand` taxonomy used by most brand plugins. If your store organizes brands differently, just reach out to AutoSync and we’ll get it set up for you. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “AutoSync WC Connect” is open source software.

Some hosting setups strip the standard Authorization header before it reaches WordPress, which silently breaks Basic authentication. AutoSync now sends the same WooCommerce REST key pair in these headers on every request, and the plugin authenticates from them whenever the request would otherwise arrive anonymous — validated identically to WooCommerce’s own key check (hashed key lookup, timing-safe secret comparison, read/write scope per HTTP method, HTTPS only). * New: step-by-step authentication diagnostics. The `/health` endpoint — and every authentication failure — now reports which credential headers reached WordPress, whether the site detects HTTPS (a reverse proxy missing X-Forwarded-Proto disables WooCommerce key auth entirely), whether the consumer key exists, whether the secret matches, the key’s read/write scope, and whether the key’s user can read and write products. AutoSync’s “Test Connection” shows each step as a separate pass/fail line, so a misconfigured key, a stripped Authorization header, or an under-privileged user is pinpointed instead of a generic 401. Key scope and user details are only disclosed after the full key/secret pair validates. * New: the `/health` endpoint reports the WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP versions plus the store’s clock (GMT), letting AutoSync flag outdated software and clock skew that would silently break incremental product discovery. #### 1.3.1 * Fix: the category pickers on the settings page no longer cap the browsable list at 100 categories, and suggestion filtering is now done by the plugin itself instead of relying on the WordPress component’s internals. * Fix: stores with duplicate category names (same name under the same parent, common after bulk imports) broke the pickers — duplicate labels produced duplicate React keys, corrupting the suggestion list into stale, unfiltered entries, and made the duplicates unselectable. Duplicate display names are now suffixed with ” ( 2)”, ” (3)”, … so every category is distinct and selectable. * New: the settings page shows the installed plugin version under the page title. #### 1.3.0 * New: “ultra” sync mode for the `/inventory` endpoint — pure set-based SQL with no per-product cache purging or hooks, and a single full page-cache purge (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, SiteGround, LiteSpeed) at the end of each batch. Orders of magnitude faster on stores where per-product cache purging dominates; price changes on variations or sale-priced products still fall back to a full save. * Change: the “fast_stock” and “fastest” modes introduced in 1.2.0 are consolidated into a single “fast” mode (the former fast_stock behavior: stock via direct SQL, price changes via a full save). The “fastest” direct-SQL price path is dropped— it offered negligible speedup over fast_stock while adding price-integration risk. #### 1.2.0 * New: the `/inventory` endpoint accepts an optional `mode` parameter selecting the write strategy. “standard” (the default) performs a full WooCommerce save per item for maximum compatibility. “fast_stock” writes stock-only updates with set-based SQL — keeping the stock-status, lookup table and parent-variation rollup consistent and firing the lightweight stock hooks — while falling back to a full save when a price actually changes. “fastest” additionally writes regular-price changes via set-based SQL for simple products with no sale price (variations and sale-priced products still fall back to a full save). The fast modes skip the heavier save_post / woocommerce_update_product hooks, so integrations bound to those (some feeds, search indexes, caches) may not refresh until their next rebuild. * Change: the standard write path performs a single full WooCommerce save per item( the 1.1.0 direct stock-only path now lives under “fast_stock”), so every WooCommerce and third-party save hook fires as expected. Batch cache priming and deferred term recounts are retained. #### 1.1.0 * Performance: the `/inventory` endpoint now applies stock-only updates through WooCommerce’s direct stock data store instead of a full product save, avoiding the heavy save/hook cascade on every item. A full save is taken only when the regular price actually changes. Large stores no longer time out on big inventory batches. * Performance: a batch now primes the post/meta cache for all of its items in a single pass, and defers product-visibility term recounts until the batch completes. #### 1.0.5 * Security: the `/inventory` write endpoint now performs a per-product capability check (matching WooCommerce’s own product controller) before changing any stock or price, so per-object permission rules are honored rather than bypassed by the single endpoint-level check. * Hardening: `per_page`/`page` request bounds are now validated against the schema and clamped server-side. * Performance: the settings option is registered with `autoload` disabled, so it is no longer loaded on every front-end request. * Compliance: added an “External services” section to the readme disclosing the AutoSync connection and the product/inventory data shared with it. * Internal: store the “last synced” marker under the plugin’s own meta key prefix instead of WooCommerce’s reserved `_wc_admin_` namespace. #### 1.0.4 * Settings page: category pickers now use a searchable token field (WordPress ` FormTokenField`) with breadcrumb labels, replacing the checkbox checklist. * Security: split the REST permission callback into read- and write-specific gates so the `/inventory` endpoint requires `edit_others_products` rather than just` read_private_products`. * Internationalization: wrapped all user-facing strings (settings page, meta box, REST error messages, warning header) in gettext calls so the plugin is fully translatable via translate.wordpress.org. * Internal: switched to PHP 8.1 first-class callable syntax for hook/route registrations. #### 1.0.3 * Internationalization: added `Text Domain` header and matching gettext call so the plugin is translatable via translate.wordpress.org. #### 1.0.2 * Initial public release. ## Meta * Version **1.4.0** * Last updated **4 dies ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0** * PHP version ** 8.2 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autosync-wc-connect/) * Tags * [inventory](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/inventory/)[rest-api](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/rest-api/) [stock](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/stock/)[sync](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/sync/) [woocommerce](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://bal.wordpress.org/plugins/autosync-wc-connect/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
