How to start selling on Woocommerce?
Hertwill’s Woocommerce plugin makes it easy to add high-quality dropshipping products from European brands to your store. Here's the step-by-step guide on how to get started.
1. Register your Hertwill account here.
2. Generate API keys for Hertwill:
- Navigate to your store: WooCommerce -> Settings -> Advanced -> REST API -> Add Key.
- Make sure permissions are set to Read/Write
- Make sure the keys are assigned to a user who has Shop Manager or Administrator privileges. The user account these keys are bound to must have the proper permissions for the integration to work.
- Insert generated API keys in the Store Integrations tab in Hertwill and press Save.
3. Browse products from the Hertwill catalog and add them to your Import List. All prices are wholesale. Hertwill stocks the items and handles the shipping, so you don’t need a warehouse or to deal with deliveries.
4. Sync products to your store: Click the Sync button in your Import List to add products to your store. By default, they will be imported as private. You’ll need to adjust the prices and might want to tweak the product descriptions in your store’s admin panel. Once you’re ready, publish them to your WooCommerce store.
Hertwill’s free plan lets you sync up to 5 products to your store — not a lot, but enough to try it out. If you want to add more, upgrade to a paid plan. All paid plans give access to better wholesale prices.
5. Automatic stock updates: Hertwill keeps product quantities in sync with your store, so you don’t have to update stock manually.
6. Start selling: Start marketing your store and get your first sales.
7. Paying for orders:
- Go to the billing section of your Hertwill account and add your bank card information. We charge you for each order before shipping it out. If your bank card isn’t added, we won’t be able to fulfill your order.
- If you're operating as a company and want to be invoiced accordingly, enter your company details here.
8. Order fulfillment: Once you make a sale, we’ll automatically receive the order and take care of fulfillment, including packaging and shipping.
- Delivery Times: Delivery depends on the destination and product. Most orders arrive within 3–8 working days in the EU. Delivery to the US and UK may take a bit longer. You’ll find more details here.
- Order Statuses, Tracking Numbers, and Invoices: You can find all order details, including tracking numbers and invoices, in the Orders section of your Hertwill account.
- Customer Support & Returns: If you or your customers have any questions, or if a customer wants to cancel, exchange, or return an item, email us at hello@hertwill.com.
