How to integrate NotifyVisitors with WooCommerce

  1. There are essentially two methods to integrate your NotifyVisitors account with WooCommerce.

Method I

Integrate via your WooCommerce-powered WordPress website or online store

  1. Process described in step nos. 1 to 5 is illustrated in the GIF provided below.
  1. Visit your WooCommerce website and login to your Admin Dashboard.
  2. Next, navigate to your account’s Dashboard > Plugins > Add New.
  3. Search for the NofifyVisitors plugin via the 'Search Bar' by typing in the keyword 'NotifyVisitors'.
  4. The NotifyVisitors plugin will get filtered out from all the available plugins. Click on the 'Install Now' button in order to install the plugin on your WordPress website.

📘

Note

There exists an alternate method/process to install the NotifyVisitors plugin that is described in the next section.

  1. Once the plugin gets installed successfully, an 'Activate' button would appear exactly where the 'Install Now' button existed. Click on that ‘Activate’ button in order to activate the NotifyVisitors plugin on your website/store.
  1. Once the plugin is activated, it will get listed towards the end of your WordPress account’s navigation pane (as shown in the screenshot provided below).

📘

Note

Although the plugin has been activated, your WordPress website or online store still isn’t integrated with your NotifyVisitors account. Proceed as follows to do the same.

  1. Navigate to your WordPress account’s Dashboard > NotifyVisitors plugin, in order to finally connect your store with your NotifyVisitors account.
  2. Click on the button titled 'Connect Your Account'.
  1. Once you click on the aforementioned button, you will be automatically redirected to the login page of the NotifyVisitors website. 'Sign Up' in case you do not have a NotifyVisitors account or 'Sign In' in case you already have one.
  2. Once you login to your NotifyVisitors account, you will encounter the following prompt, wherein you will have to provide permission to the NotifyVisitors software to connect with your WooCommerce-powered online store. Click on the button titled 'Approve' to grant permission.

Note

In case you are already logged in to your NotifyVisitors account, then you will not have to perform step no. 9, since in such a scenario you will encounter the prompt straight away.

  1. Once you click on the 'Approve' button, a fleeting pop-up confirming successful integration of your online store with your NotifyVisitors account will appear on-screen. Once the pop-up disappears, you will be redirected back to your WooCommerce-powered online store, which in turn would also display a confirmation affirming successful integration.
  1. Next, click on the button titled 'Connected', in order to configure your WooCommerce integration from within your NotifyVisitors account i.e. toggle tracking of specific WooCommerce events on/off.

📘

Note

Once you click on the 'Connected' button, you will be redirected to a particular section of your NotifyVisitors account viz. NotifyVisitors Dashboard > Settings > Store Integration > CMS > WooCommerce Configuration.

  1. Moreover, you would notice that tracking of all the WooCommerce events is toggled on or enabled by default. You can however enable/disable the tracking of any of these events at any given time (kindly refer to the GIF provided below).
