How to Send WooCommerce Orders to Google Drive
Google Drive is a file storage platform. Every WooCommerce order should flow into Google Drive automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing order data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to Google Drive. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and configured.
- A Google Drive account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Google Drive to AFI
Google Drive uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Google Drive, 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 Google Drive.
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 Google Drive as the destination
Choose Google Drive from the platform dropdown and pick Upload File. This uploads a file to Google Drive.
4. Map fields
Match each Google Drive 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 Google Drive 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 file content and filename to Google Drive with unlimited orders. Pro adds folder selection. 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.
