How to Send WooCommerce Orders to Big Purple Dot
Big Purple Dot is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Getting WooCommerce order data into Big Purple Dot does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing order data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to Big Purple Dot. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and configured.
- A Big Purple Dot account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Big Purple Dot to AFI
Big Purple Dot uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Big Purple Dot, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WooCommerce to Big Purple Dot.
2. Pick your trigger
Select WooCommerce as the form provider. AFI fires when an order status changes, giving you access to customer details, billing and shipping addresses, line items, totals, and payment method.
3. Select Big Purple Dot as the destination
Choose Big Purple Dot from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This creates a lead in Big Purple Dot.
4. Map fields
Match each Big Purple Dot field on the left to the corresponding WooCommerce order field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, phone, billing address, order total, and product details. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain orders? Set up a conditional rule. For example, only sync orders above a specific total, or only completed orders.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Place a test order in your WooCommerce store. Check Big Purple Dot to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps name, email, and phone to Big Purple Dot with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
Which WooCommerce events trigger the integration?
AFI fires when an order status changes (for example, pending to processing, or processing to completed). This covers new orders, successful payments, refunds, and cancellations.
Will adding this slow down my checkout?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the order is processed. Your customers complete checkout normally without any delay.
Can I send orders to multiple platforms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every order flows to all of them simultaneously.
