1. Start the integration
Go to Control Menu > Holded Store in the top right corner.
From the "Integrations" tab, click on "WooCommerce":
Once WooCommerce is selected, click "Activate": the WooCommerce icon will appear in the left menu, under "Integrations":
Click on "Connect and configure" and, in the pop-up panel, click again on "Connect and configure".
In the WooCommerce configuration modal click on "Download WooCommerce Plugin":
Once downloaded, go to Menu > Settings > More > Developers.

In your WooCommerce account, go to the "Plugins" tab and upload the folder of the plug-in you downloaded from Holded.

Once you have activated the plug-in in WooCommerce and start receiving your orders in Holded, you may need to import the customer's VAT number. For this reason, you will need to download the following plug-in and install it in your WooCommerce account. For a correct synchronisation of the VAT number, we recommend that you check the "Shipping field required" and "Validate field" boxes in the plug-in configuration.
