How to integrate WooCommerce with GetResponse?

You can easily connect your WordPress site and WooCommerce store with GetResponse to add contacts, products, and e-commerce data. You can manage it all in the GetResponse panel.

Use the data imported from your shop to recover sales with abandoned carts, promote your products, increase sales, or even send product recommendations based on sales history.

To set up the integration, you will need:

  • WordPress version 5.6 or higher
  • WooCommerce plugin
  • PHP 7.4 or higher
  • cURL library installed and loaded
