Where do I install the HIBR WooCommerce plugin?

From your WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → search 'HIBR ERP for WooCommerce'. Install and activate. The plugin then asks for your HIBR account credentials and runs an OAuth pairing with your HIBR ERP tenant — no code required.

Does HIBR handle Arabic checkout on WooCommerce?

Yes. Order data flows into HIBR with Arabic customer names and addresses preserved correctly (UTF-8); the tax invoice generated by HIBR is bilingual (Arabic + English) and meets the bilingual invoicing rules under Federal Decree-Law 8/2017 on VAT and the FTA's invoicing format requirements.

Will the integration break my WooCommerce plugins?

No. HIBR connects via the official WooCommerce REST API and standard order webhooks, which is the same surface every well-behaved Woo plugin uses. We have tested compatibility with the most common UAE WooCommerce stacks (WooPayments, Sequra, common shipping plugins, Yoast, Elementor).

WooCommerce Integration — HIBR ERP UAE E-commerce

WooCommerce is the open-source e-commerce plugin that powers a significant share of UAE small-business storefronts. Most UAE WooCommerce stores started life as agency-built WordPress sites where a "Buy now" button got bolted on as the business grew — and that origin story shows: heavy customisation, lots of plugins, full ownership of the data, but rarely strong on UAE-specific compliance like the bilingual tax invoicing rules under Federal Decree-Law 8/2017 or the FTA's Phase-1 PEPPOL PINT-AE e-invoicing mandate effective July 2026. HIBR ERP's official WooCommerce plugin closes that gap. WooCommerce remains your storefront — including all your WordPress plugins, themes, and customisations — and HIBR handles inventory, accounting, VAT auto-filing, FTA e-invoicing, courier dispatch, and bank reconciliation. The two-way sync is delivered over WooCommerce's official REST API and webhooks, so the integration is as stable as Woo itself.

What this integration does

Live order sync via WooCommerce REST API. Every WooCommerce order — paid, pending, refunded, cancelled — flows into HIBR within seconds with full line-item detail, customer record, billing/shipping address, and payment method.
Live inventory push back to Woo. HIBR is your inventory source of truth. When stock changes (sales from POS, B2B fulfillment, transfers between warehouses), the WooCommerce product stock_quantity updates within seconds.
Two-way product catalogue. Create a product in HIBR or in WooCommerce — your choice — and the two stay in sync on title, description, price, photos, and variations.
Bilingual tax invoice per order. HIBR generates a Federal Decree-Law 8/2017-compliant bilingual (Arabic + English) tax invoice for every order with TRN and supply place captured correctly.
FTA e-invoicing via Phase-1 PINT-AE. B2B orders route through the FTA Accredited Service Provider per the July 2026 mandate; B2C orders prepared for the Phase 3 rollout.
UAE courier dispatch. A WooCommerce order in HIBR can ship via Aramex or Fetchr in one click — fulfillment status and tracking URL push back to the WooCommerce order page automatically.

Setup in 12 minutes

WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → search "HIBR ERP for WooCommerce". Install and activate the plugin.
Click "Pair with HIBR". The plugin redirects to your HIBR ERP tenant for OAuth pairing. Authorise and you're back in WordPress in under a minute.
Choose source-of-truth direction. Most UAE Woo stores choose HIBR-as-source for products and inventory, WooCommerce-as-source for orders.
Run initial catalogue sync. 1,000 products imports in roughly 3 minutes. Existing inventory matches against HIBR by SKU.
Confirm VAT mapping. HIBR auto-tags standard 5% VAT, zero-rated, and exempt as appropriate. Confirm on first run.
Test one order end-to-end. Place a test order; watch it land in HIBR; ship via a connected courier; confirm fulfillment status returns to WooCommerce.

Use cases

Dubai-based perfume brand with a custom WooCommerce theme. 600 SKUs, two warehouses (Al Quoz + Sharjah). Founder loves the WordPress theme and the existing Klaviyo email automation but the accountant struggles with manual VAT reconciliation. HIBR plugs in, takes over inventory and accounting, files VAT 201 quarterly to the FTA — Klaviyo, Yoast, and the theme keep running untouched.

Sharjah-based B2B parts supplier with WooCommerce + custom credit-terms plugin. Customers buy on 30-day terms via Woo with their TRN captured at checkout. HIBR ingests the order, generates a bilingual VAT invoice with the customer's TRN, runs the credit-control dunning schedule, and routes Phase-1 e-invoicing per the FTA mandate.

Abu Dhabi-based bookshop with WooCommerce + Aramex shipping plugin. The store already had an Aramex shipping plugin for cost calculation. HIBR takes over AWB generation and tracking, removes the cost-only plugin, and reconciles Aramex COD remittances against the Woo orders automatically.

Pricing. The WooCommerce integration is included free in HIBR ERP Pro (499/mo) and Enterprise. Lite supports single-store manual order import. WooCommerce itself is free open-source software; your only cost is the WordPress hosting and any premium plugins you already pay for.

Frequently asked questions

Does the integration work with WooCommerce subscriptions?

Yes. WooCommerce Subscriptions renewals flow into HIBR as recurring sales orders with the right revenue-recognition schedule. The tokenised card on file in WooCommerce continues to charge; HIBR books the recurring invoice.

What if I'm on a managed WordPress host like WP Engine or Pressable?

Works identically. The plugin uses standard REST API and webhooks; nothing about it requires hosting-specific access. We have customers on WP Engine, Pressable, Kinsta, and shared Hostinger hosting all running the same flow.

Can I export from Shopify and switch to WooCommerce + HIBR?

Yes. HIBR's migration tooling supports Shopify → WooCommerce + HIBR transitions: products, customers, and historical orders all migrate. Why someone might do this: lower platform cost, deeper customisation, or owning the underlying tech stack.
