Whichever version you require, Woosage consists of 2 main components: a website plugin and a local Windows application, which work together to provide a simple, safe and efficient way to integrate your WooCommerce website with Sage 50.

Woosage WordPress Plugin

The main purpose of the plugin is to handle the Sage Account Code in the user details and update the transfer status in the WooCommerce/Orders section of the CMS. The plugin is only required if not using a default Sage Account Code (i.e. all WooCommerce orders are posted to a single customer account, such as WEBSALES).

Woosage Desktop Client

This Windows application runs on the same local network as Sage 50 Accounts and provides the main link between WooCommerce and Sage. It periodically checks for transaction activity (e.g. any WooCommerce orders to bring down from the website) and deals with them, using a local database as a buffer. The database also holds the configuration settings for Woosage and facilitates the local inspection of transaction status.

Prerequisites

Woosage requires the following:

WooCommerce 3.0 or later
WordPress 4.8 or later
SSL Security Certificate*

Sage 50 Accounts 2014 (v20) or later (UK Version only at present)
Sage must be running under a currently supported version of Windows desktop or server (7, 8.1, 10, 2008R2 server onwards) running .Net 4.6 or later

To use the multi-currency features the Sage Foreign Trader option is required.

*Although Woosage does operate under http (i.e. without an SSL certificate) we strongly recommend using https for all ecommerce websites.
