Get started with Wooshie

If you already have Lite installed, follow Upgrade from Lite to Pro instead of deleting it.

Pro only

Lite users skip this step and can connect Google without a license.

• Open WooCommerce → Wooshie → Settings.
• Enter and activate the Pro license key you purchased.
• Confirm the Pro entitlement is active.

Installing the Pro ZIP and activating its license are separate steps. A Pro installation without an active Pro entitlement operates with Lite limits. Your Pro license determines how many sites can be activated.

Lite & Pro

• Open Google Connection and select Connect Google.
• Sign in with the Google account that can edit the intended spreadsheet.
• Authorize the app Google identifies as Phooey Labs Connector, then return to WordPress.

Both editions use the free Phooey Labs Connector for Google authorization. Review the Wooshie & Phooey Labs Connector Policies for privacy, product terms, and refunds.

Connecting Google does not enable Live Sync or start automatic order delivery.

Lite & Pro

• Open Automations and select Create Automation.
• Give the automation a descriptive, unique name.
• Choose the order statuses that should trigger sending.
• Select the products to include. Selecting a parent product includes its variations.
• Each matching order line item becomes a row, with its quantity included in that row. Other products in the order are excluded.
• Save the setup before selecting the destination.

Lite & Pro

• Select Choose Google Sheet and choose an existing spreadsheet.
• Choose an existing worksheet tab or add a new blank tab within that spreadsheet. Adding a tab does not create a new spreadsheet file.
• Save the destination.
• In Columns, select Include for each column to populate and choose its WooCommerce source. Standard WooCommerce fields and variation attributes are available in Lite and Pro.
• Review the headings and column order.
• Select Save Column Configuration, or Update Column Configuration when revising an existing setup.

Saving applies headings and column order to Google Sheets, but it does not send order rows. Headings and column order are shared by automations that use the same worksheet tab.

After saving a destination, use Open spreadsheet beneath the automation name on the Automations tab, or within Saved Destination on the Spreadsheet step. It opens the saved spreadsheet and worksheet in a new browser tab. No share link needs to be pasted, and normal Google access permissions still apply.

Lite & Pro

Previews do not write rows. Confirmed test and sample sends write actual rows to the selected spreadsheet. Sample sends do not create WooCommerce orders or turn on Live Sync. Use a real order to verify actual checkout values and automatic status triggers.

Lite & Pro

• Save any outstanding changes.
• Use Check Automation Readiness and address any listed requirements.
• Turn the automation Active when it is ready.
• Open Settings and run Check Readiness.
• When the checks pass, an administrator completes the displayed confirmation and selects Enable Live Sync.

An active automation and enabled Live Sync are both required for automatic delivery of future qualifying status transitions. Installation, Pro license activation, and Google connection do not start automatic sending. Lite users can activate one automation; Pro users can activate multiple automations.

Configuration changes can require another successful test before an automation is ready again.

• Open Existing Orders within the automation.
• Review the available selection options and preview matching items.
• Confirm the intended import and follow the displayed readiness requirements.
• Monitor progress and review the Transmission Log.

Enabling Live Sync does not automatically import earlier orders. Historical imports are a separate Pro workflow. Testing with a real order in Lite is not a bulk historical import feature.

Rows created outside Wooshie cannot be identified reliably from Wooshie’s transmission history, so review spreadsheets that already contain externally added order data before importing to avoid unintended duplicates.

1. Purchase Pro using the Upgrade to Pro link.
2. Download the Pro ZIP from the purchase email or your Phooey Labs account.
3. In WordPress, open Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin.
4. Upload the Pro ZIP and choose Replace current with uploaded.
5. Complete installation and activate the plugin if prompted.
6. Open WooCommerce → Wooshie → Settings and activate the purchased Pro license key.

Replace the existing installation without deleting Lite or disconnecting Google. The replacement preserves the Google connection, saved automations, mappings, transmission history, and existing Live Sync preferences.

Purchasing Pro or entering a license key does not transform the dedicated Lite package into Pro. Installing the Pro ZIP is required.

Deactivating the Pro license returns the installed Pro plugin to Lite functionality. You do not need to install a separate Lite ZIP.

At that transition, all automations are deactivated, Live Sync is paused, and ongoing historical imports are stopped. Saved configuration, Google connection, transmission history, and existing spreadsheet data are retained.

To resume with Lite

• Choose one automation.
• Set “When an order item is sent again” to “Send each order item once.” This label applies whenever Wooshie operates with Lite functionality, including after deactivating a Pro license.
• Exclude fields marked Requires Pro or replace them with standard WooCommerce fields.
• Save, complete any required testing and readiness checks, activate that automation, and explicitly enable Live Sync.

Deactivating a license releases the site activation but does not cancel the subscription. Manage billing separately through your Phooey Labs account.
