Laravel WooCommerce Integration
WooCommerce is often the storefront; Laravel is often the operations brain. The fight is over which system owns the order.
Data flow
Decide a source of truth per entity. Catalogue might stay in WooCommerce. Fulfilment state might live in Laravel or a warehouse system. If both write stock, you will get negative inventory and a row in a spreadsheet called “adjustments”.
WooCommerce webhooks should be signed/secreted, delivered to Laravel, queued, and made idempotent on the WooCommerce resource ID plus topic.
Failure modes
- Polling
wp-jsonevery minute for all orders because webhooks were never trusted. - Application passwords stored in a ticket.
- Status mappings that do not include refunds or failed payments.
This is adjacent to WordPress integration and often to ERP/warehouse flows.
Qualification
Discuss your Laravel project
Name, work email, and a short description of the application is enough. No discovery call theatre before I know whether I can actually help.
- UK businesses with a real Laravel (or legacy PHP) application
- Build, support, rescue, upgrade or integration work
- Reply from Oliver Burton, usually within one working day
