WordPress API Integration & CRM Sync
Connect WordPress and WooCommerce to the systems your business runs on, like CRMs, ERPs, marketing tools and custom APIs, with syncs that are real-time, logged and built to recover when something fails.
When copy-paste becomes the bottleneck
If your team exports orders to a spreadsheet, retypes leads into the CRM, or checks two systems to answer one customer question, you have an integration problem. The cost isn't only time. It's the wrong prices, missed follow-ups and duplicate records that come with manual data entry.
Off-the-shelf connectors and Zapier-style tools work well for simple cases. They struggle with custom fields, quotes, variable products, bulk history imports, rate limits, and anything that must not silently fail. That's where a custom WordPress API integration earns its cost.
What I build
CRM integrations: sync WooCommerce orders, customers and quotes, or form leads, into your CRM in real time.
- WooCommerce Zoho CRM integration (most requested)
- WooCommerce HubSpot integration
- WPForms / Gravity Forms → CRM lead routing
ERP and inventory syncs: stock levels, prices and order status flowing both ways.
Content integrations: import from YouTube, external feeds or other WordPress sites on a schedule.
Custom REST endpoints: expose WordPress data to your app, dashboard or partner.

How I make integrations reliable
- ✓Event-driven: sync on the WooCommerce event (order created, status changed) instead of nightly batches
- ✓Queued: heavy or slow API calls run in the background (Action Scheduler), so checkout never waits on a third-party API
- ✓Retries with backoff: temporary API errors are retried automatically
- ✓Logging: every sync is recorded, and failures appear in wp-admin with the reason
- ✓Idempotent: the same event never creates duplicate records
- ✓Field mapping in settings: your team can adjust mappings without code changes
- ✓OAuth 2.0 token handling with automatic refresh
- ✓Rate-limit aware for APIs like Zoho and HubSpot
Typical integration projects
- ✓WooCommerce → CRM (orders, customers, quotes, products)
- ✓Forms → CRM with lead routing and deduplication
- ✓WooCommerce ↔ ERP/inventory (stock and price sync)
- ✓YouTube, RSS or partner API → WordPress content import
- ✓Historical data backfill (years of orders into a new CRM)
- ✓Replacing a failing Zapier/Make workflow with native code
How an integration project runs
- Mapping workshop: which records, which fields, which direction, what triggers a sync.
- Fixed-scope proposal with the mapping document attached.
- Build against a sandbox/test CRM, never your live data first.
- Backfill + go-live: historical data imported, then real-time sync switched on.
- Monitoring handoff: you learn how to read the sync log, and 14 days of fixes are included.
Relevant experience
- Case study: WooCommerce to Zoho CRM sync: 60% time saved
- Case study: WPForms to Zoho CRM: the sales team works entirely inside Zoho
- Case study: YouTube Video Import Automation
Questions I get asked
Why not just use Zapier or an existing connector plugin?
For simple, low-volume syncs, you should. Custom integration makes sense when you need custom fields, quotes or variable products, high volume, two-way sync, or guaranteed delivery with visible error logs.
What happens if the CRM's API is down?
The sync is queued and retried automatically. Nothing is lost, and anything that still fails after retries is flagged in wp-admin.
Can you import our historical orders too?
Yes. A one-time backfill is a common part of the project, run in batches to respect API limits.
Which CRMs and APIs have you worked with?
Zoho CRM and the YouTube Data API in production, plus many custom REST APIs. Any CRM with a documented REST API can be integrated. I'll review its docs during scoping.
