Odoo ↔ WooCommerce Bridge

Overview

This skill guides you through building a reliable sync bridge between Odoo (the back-office ERP) and WooCommerce (the WordPress online store). It covers product catalog sync, real-time inventory updates, order import, and customer record management.

When to Use This Skill

• Running a WooCommerce store with Odoo for inventory and fulfillment.
• Automatically pulling WooCommerce orders into Odoo as sale orders.
• Keeping WooCommerce product stock in sync with Odoo's warehouse.
• Mapping WooCommerce order statuses to Odoo delivery states.

How It Works

1. Activate: Mention

   @odoo-woocommerce-bridge

   and describe your sync requirements.
2. Design: Get the field mapping table between WooCommerce and Odoo objects.
3. Build: Receive Python integration scripts using the WooCommerce REST API.

Examples

Example 1: Pull WooCommerce Orders into Odoo (Python)

from woocommerce import API
import xmlrpc.client
import os

# WooCommerce client
wcapi = API(
    url=os.getenv("WC_URL", "https://mystore.com"),
    consumer_key=os.getenv("WC_KEY"),
    consumer_secret=os.getenv("WC_SECRET"),
    version="wc/v3"
)

# Odoo client
odoo_url = os.getenv("ODOO_URL", "https://myodoo.example.com")
db = os.getenv("ODOO_DB", "my_db")
uid = int(os.getenv("ODOO_UID", "2"))
pwd = os.getenv("ODOO_PASSWORD")
models = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(f"{odoo_url}/xmlrpc/2/object")


def sync_orders():
    # Get unprocessed WooCommerce orders
    orders = wcapi.get("orders", params={"status": "processing", "per_page": 50}).json()

    for wc_order in orders:
        # Find or create Odoo partner
        email = wc_order['billing']['email']
        partner = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'search',
            [[['email', '=', email]]])
        if not partner:
            partner_id = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'create', [{
                'name': f"{wc_order['billing']['first_name']} {wc_order['billing']['last_name']}",
                'email': email,
                'phone': wc_order['billing']['phone'],
                'street': wc_order['billing']['address_1'],
                'city': wc_order['billing']['city'],
            }])
        else:
            partner_id = partner[0]

        # Create Sale Order in Odoo
        order_lines = []
        for item in wc_order['line_items']:
            product = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'product.product', 'search',
                [[['default_code', '=', item['sku']]]])
            if product:
                order_lines.append((0, 0, {
                    'product_id': product[0],
                    'product_uom_qty': item['quantity'],
                    'price_unit': float(item['price']),
                }))

        models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'sale.order', 'create', [{
            'partner_id': partner_id,
            'client_order_ref': f"WC-{wc_order['number']}",
            'order_line': order_lines,
        }])

        # Mark WooCommerce order as on-hold (processed by Odoo)
        wcapi.put(f"orders/{wc_order['id']}", {"status": "on-hold"})

Example 2: Push Odoo Stock to WooCommerce

def sync_inventory_to_woocommerce():
    # Get all products with a SKU from Odoo
    products = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'product.product', 'search_read',
        [[['default_code', '!=', False], ['type', '=', 'product']]],
        {'fields': ['default_code', 'qty_available']}
    )

    for product in products:
        sku = product['default_code']
        qty = int(product['qty_available'])

        # Update WooCommerce by SKU
        wc_products = wcapi.get("products", params={"sku": sku}).json()
        if wc_products:
            wcapi.put(f"products/{wc_products[0]['id']}", {
                "stock_quantity": qty,
                "manage_stock": True,
            })

Best Practices

• ✅ Do: Use SKU as the unique identifier linking WooCommerce products to Odoo products.
• ✅ Do: Run inventory sync on a schedule (every 15-30 min) rather than real-time to avoid rate limits.
• ✅ Do: Log all API calls and errors to a database table for debugging.
• ❌ Don't: Process the same WooCommerce order twice — flag it as processed immediately after import.
• ❌ Don't: Sync draft or cancelled WooCommerce orders to Odoo — filter by

  status = processing

  or

  completed

  .

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
