Connect WooCommerce webhooks to Relin

Relin receives WooCommerce webhooks, verifies signatures, stores payloads, and delivers them to your endpoints with retries, alerts, and replay.

Open the WooCommerce dashboard

Before you start

  • Create a Relin workspace and sign in.
  • Have admin access to the WooCommerce account where you'll configure the webhook.
  • Decide which events you want to capture, or start with "all events" if you're exploring.

Setup steps

  1. In Relin, open your workspace and click New source. Pick the WooCommerce tile.
  2. Copy the ingest URL Relin shows. This URL is shown once, so store it.
  3. Create a WooCommerce webhook.
  4. Send events to the Relin source URL.
  5. Use the same secret here and in WooCommerce.
  6. Save and send a test event from WooCommerce. Confirm Relin received it in your workspace.

Secret: Paste the secret configured on the WooCommerce webhook.

What Relin does next

  • Verifies the signature on every incoming event and records the status (verified, failed, unchecked).
  • Stores the payload so you can replay or inspect it later, bounded by your workspace retention window.
  • Delivers the event to every destination you've connected to this source, with retries and per-destination rate limits.
  • Surfaces lifecycle gaps (for vendors with known lifecycles) as anomalies you can triage from the dashboard.

Test it

The fastest check is the events view in your workspace. After you send a test event from WooCommerce, it appears within a second or two. Click into the event to see the raw payload, signature status, and the delivery attempts to your destinations.

You can also use the REST API or the MCP tools to inspect the stream programmatically.

WooCommerce-specific notes

  • WooCommerce sends a short delivery URL test on save. If it fails, double-check that your site can reach the Relin ingest URL over HTTPS (some hosts block outbound HTTPS from WP-Cron).

Troubleshooting

  • Signature status is failed: the secret doesn't match. Re-copy it from WooCommerce and update the Relin source.
  • Signature status is unchecked: no signing secret is configured on the source yet. Paste the secret on the source settings page.
  • No events arriving: check that the ingest URL in WooCommerce matches the URL Relin shows, including the token segment at the end.
  • Events arrive but destinations fail: open the delivery attempts tab on the event detail page. Each attempt shows the response body, status, and timing.
