FlowDino Plugin for WooCommerce

Download the plugin on WordPress.org

1. Overview

The FlowDino plugin for WooCommerce is the official bridge between your WooCommerce store and the FlowDino platform. It lets you:

Automatically publish your WooCommerce catalog to the marketplaces managed by FlowDino (Vinted, Leboncoin, eBay, Etsy, Vestiaire Collective, Beebs, Whatnot, Opla, etc.) from a single interface.
Keep your stock synchronized between WooCommerce and each marketplace in real time.
Import your sales made on marketplaces directly into WooCommerce as orders.

2. Requirements

Before installing the plugin, make sure you have:

A WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and activated.
An active FlowDino account. No account yet? Create one for free at www.flowdino.com.

Important : WooCommerce must be active on your site. Without it, the FlowDino plugin cannot work.

3. Installation

Via the WordPress interface (recommended)

Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Go to Plugins → Add New.
Search for FlowDino WooCommerce.
Click Install Now, then Activate.

Via a ZIP file

Download the plugin installation file from wordpress.org/plugins/flowdino.
In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
Select the downloaded file and click Install Now, then Activate.

Once the plugin is activated, a FlowDino submenu appears in the WooCommerce menu of your dashboard.

4. Connect to FlowDino

Before any synchronization, you need to connect the plugin to your FlowDino account.

Go to WooCommerce → FlowDino.
Open the Settings tab.
Enter your FlowDino email address and password.
Click Test connection.

If the connection is successful, a green message confirms it and shows the email address linked to your account.

Available buttons

Test connection — checks your credentials and connects the plugin to FlowDino.
Force reconnection — use this if the connection is interrupted or after changing your password.
Disconnect — disconnects the plugin and clears your saved credentials.

Conseil : If you change your FlowDino password, use the Force reconnection button and then update your credentials.

5. Mapping configuration

FlowDino needs to know how your categories, brands, colors and other characteristics match its own lists. This setup is done once, before your first synchronization.

What order to follow? Start with Categories, then Brands, Colors, Materials, Sizes and finally Tags.

5.1 Categories

The Categories tab lists all your store's categories. For each one, choose the matching FlowDino category from the dropdown, then click Save mappings.

Every product must have an associated category to be synchronized.

5.2 Brands

The Brands tab shows your products' brands. The plugin detects them automatically, regardless of which extension you use to manage them.

Use the search field to match each brand with its FlowDino equivalent.
If a brand doesn't exist in FlowDino yet, you can create it directly from this tab.
Set a default brand for products that don't have one.

5.3 Colors

The Colors tab lists all color values used in your store. Match each one to the corresponding FlowDino color, set a default color for products without one, then save.

5.4 Materials

Same principle as colors: match each material in your store to its FlowDino equivalent, set a default material if needed, then save.

5.5 Sizes

Same principle: match each size in your store to its FlowDino equivalent, set a default size if needed, then save.

5.6 Tags

The Tags tab lets you match keywords from your store to FlowDino tags. You can use either an existing product attribute or your shipping classes as the source. Choose the source, make the matches, then save.

5.7 Video game ratings

If you sell video games, this tab lets you match your ratings (PEGI, USK…) to FlowDino's. Select the attribute you use in your store, make the matches and save.

6. Product synchronization

The Products tab is the control center for your synchronization. It displays all your WooCommerce products with their sync status.

6.1 Manual synchronization

Open the Products tab.
Filter or search for the products you want to send to FlowDino.
Check the relevant products (or select all at once).
Click Synchronize selection.

A progress bar is displayed during the upload. A summary then tells you how many products were sent and whether there were any errors.

6.2 Sync statuses

Each product shows a status in the Synchronization column:

Status	Meaning
Synchronized	The product is up to date in FlowDino
Never synchronized	The product has never been sent
Error	The last synchronization failed (an error message is shown)
Pending	Synchronization is in progress

The date of the last synchronization is also displayed.

6.3 Compliance check

Before sending your products, the plugin automatically checks that they are complete (category assigned, required information filled in).

If some products are incomplete, a dialog offers:

Synchronize only compliant products — problematic products are skipped.
Cancel — to fix the missing mappings before retrying.

6.4 Pull updates from FlowDino

FlowDino can update your products' stock and statuses (for example after a sale on a marketplace). To bring these changes into WooCommerce:

In the Products tab, click Pull updates from FlowDino.
Optionally select a date range.
Your WooCommerce products' stock and statuses are updated.

7. Sales synchronization

The Sales tab lets you import into WooCommerce the orders placed on the various marketplaces.

Import sales

Open the Sales tab.
Click Synchronize sales.
FlowDino orders are created in WooCommerce with the corresponding status.

Statistics table

The sales dashboard shows, per platform:

Column	Description
Orders	Number of imported orders
Revenue	Total sales amount
Commissions	Platform fees
Net	Net amount received
Listings	Number of active listings
Views	Number of views on the marketplace
Last sync	Date of the last synchronization

Status mapping

FlowDino order statuses are automatically translated in WooCommerce:

Sale completed → Completed
Pending → Processing
Cancelled → Cancelled
Refunded → Refunded

8. Synchronized data

With each synchronization, FlowDino retrieves the following information from your WooCommerce store:

Title, description and short description
Product reference (SKU)
Price, weight and dimensions
Stock quantity and status (available or not)
Link to the product page
Category, brand, color, material, size and tags
Video game rating (if applicable)
Photos (main image and gallery)

For products with multiple variants (e.g. different sizes or colors), each variant is synchronized separately with its own stock and price. The variant name is automatically added to the product images during synchronization.
