WooCommerce Zapier 2.6.0: Full Product Variation Support

The Future of Product Handling is Here

WooCommerce Zapier 2.6.0 has arrived, ushering in the future of product handling with full product variation support. A substantial upgrade from our previous release, this new version represents a leap forward in functionality and flexibility.

Product Actions Revamp

We’ve overhauled the product actions experience in a significant way. All our product actions – namely, Update Product, Create Product, and Find Product – now include product variation seamlessly. This overhaul means Zapier actions align with trigger behaviour, enhancing overall product handling.

Creating Variations

In terms of creating product variations, you can now do so with the correct attribute if you have a store-wide or a product-level attribute ready for use.

Finding Variations

With the updated “Find Product” action, an ID or SKU search can return a product variation. It means that finding a product from an order using SKU is now hassle-free, regardless of the underlying type.

Updating Variations

As for updates, the experience is just as smooth as with the product, meaning that your connected system no longer needs to differentiate.

This means that WooCommerce Zapier 2.6.0 fully supports variable products.

New Feature: Update Product Price Action

But there’s more. We are now bringing price management front and centre with the new Update Product Price action, alongside the previously released Update Product Stock Quantity capability. This new action provides users various options for updating prices, including different manipulations based on the current value.

Aside from setting a new price, you can increase or decrease product prices by a fixed amount or percentage. This action supports setting the regular or sales price, clearing the sales price, or setting the sales price based on the regular price.

New Product Triggers

There’s still more! Version 2.6.0 adds a series of new product triggers, focusing on stock management. We can send product data to Zapier if the stock level status changes, including out-of-stock and backorder configurations. With these new triggers, you can easily automate your stock management, whether the product comes back in stock or sells out.

Importantly, we’ve also introduced a new product trigger that activates when stock is low. This allows you to respond proactively, even before your product runs out of stock. For more information, please refer to the documentation here.

In Summary

WooCommerce Zapier 2.6.0 is a robust upgrade that enriches your WooCommerce experience by integrating comprehensive product variation support, flexible price management, and proactive inventory management. Enjoy the new era of product handling!
