This section covers everything you need to connect your WooCommerce store to your Mautic instance. The plugin supports two authentication methods: Basic Authentication and OAuth2.
Choosing an Authentication Method
Before you begin, you will need to decide which authentication method works best for your setup. Both methods require the Mautic API to be enabled in your Mautic instance.
Basic Authentication
Basic Authentication is the simplest way to connect. You enter your Mautic URL, username, and password directly in the plugin settings. This is ideal for most store owners who want a quick setup. Your password is encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC encryption, so it is never stored in plain text.
OAuth2
OAuth2 is the more secure option and is recommended for production environments. Instead of sharing your Mautic login credentials with the plugin, you create a set of API credentials in Mautic and authorize the plugin through a redirect flow. Access tokens are automatically refreshed when they expire.
What You Will Need
- A running Mautic instance with the API enabled
- Admin access to your Mautic instance
- Admin access to your WordPress site with WooCommerce active
Where to Find the Settings
Navigate to WooCommerce > Mautic Integration in your WordPress admin. The Connection tab is the first tab and contains all authentication settings, the connection test button, and the debug mode toggle.
