WooCommerce and Odoo, in practice.

Most integrations do not fail loudly. They drift — a tax rounding here, an unmatched SKU there — until month end turns into an investigation.

A store on Plain permalinks serves /wp-json as a 404 from the web server. WooCommerce is fine — WordPress simply has no rewrite rule to route the request.

No real store is stock WooCommerce. The delivery date, the PO number, the gift message — all of it lives in meta_data, and none of it syncs by default.

Bidirectional everything is the default request and almost never the right answer. Pick an owner per resource before you turn anything on.
