The business requirement
Howling Hops needed a B2B WooCommerce shop connected to Exact accounts, with trade customer information and stock coordinated across the two systems.
Development and integration
Impact matched customer and product codes, created new accounts where required and transferred orders into the accounting workflow. Stock updates, invoice payment terms and trade credit management connected the customer-facing shop to the controls used by the business.

Original project detail
WooCommerce API Integration
Recently launched is a trade website for a MicroBrewery (WordPress with WooCommerce) - Howling Hops. The website mimicks their B2C website in design but is integrated to their accounts system (using an API to Exact Accounts plugin module that we wrote), so that they can manage customers credit amounts and keep track of stock on both the B2C and B2B website. Orders get pushed to the accounts system and stock data gets pushed back up to both websites.
The WooCommerce API integration to Exact accounts software, provides the following:
- WooCommerce reflects live stock levels from Exact for each SKU.
- Orders processed through WooCommerce are automatically pushed to Exact and sync with the appropriate customer and SKU.
- Stock is automatically deducted.
- Invoice is generated from Exact data using the customer payment terms specified for the customer in Exact.
- When a new customer is connected to the company on WooCommerce, the customer is automatically created in Exact.
- Existing trade customers on Exact are connected to the corresponding customer on WooCommerce via customer codes.
