Woot Account Integration

Overview

Woot is a daily deals website offering a wide range of products at discounted prices, typically with a focus on consumer electronics, gadgets, home goods, apparel, and other categories. Woot is famous for its special deals and promotions, such as the “Woot of the Day” concept, where they offer a single product at a deeply discounted price for 24 hours. 

This integration enables you to seamlessly import Woot orders into Sellercloud and export tracking information regularly, allowing you to keep track of your sales.

The existing Woot plugins are highly customized for individual clients – check with Sellercloud Support for details on each plugin version. If necessary, you can also request additional modifications or other plugins for this integration. Customization rates may apply.

Prerequisites

Contact Sellercloud Support and request to install the Woot plugins on your server.

If you plan to import orders to Sellercloud using files downloaded from the Woot Dropship Portal, ask support to create the Order Custom Column WOOT_PO_NUMBER. Optionally, you can also create a Custom Company Setting Woot Company Id under your default company, which allows you to define the company ID where orders will be created. If this setting is missing, then the scheduled task’s company ID will be used.

We recommend creating a dedicated Company for this integration. The Woot Order Import plugin creates orders as Website, so you may want to separate them from your regular website orders.

Order Import

There are two different plugins that make importing orders from Woot into Sellercloud possible: 

  • The first plugin allows you to import orders manually using Woot’s distinct file format. You can download it from the Woot Dropship Portal. You need to manually perform the import every time if you choose this option.
  • The second plugin allows you to import orders from an Excel file received via email from Woot. With this option, you can create a Scheduled Task to automate the process.

The plugins import orders as:

Import Orders Manually
