You can integrate WooCommerce with OpenClaw by building a ClawHub skill that calls the WooCommerce REST API for on-demand actions (read/update orders, products, customers) and by receiving WooCommerce webhooks through an externally hosted HTTP endpoint that forwards events into your integration pipeline (skill invocation, queue, or backend). Store WooCommerce credentials (consumer key/secret or OAuth tokens) in ClawHub’s secret/configuration store, validate all webhooks with the WooCommerce HMAC signature, keep any stateful or long-running processes outside the agent runtime (database, queue, scheduler), and instrument logging and retries so you can debug API responses, credentials, and invocation behavior.

X-WC-Webhook-Signature (WooCommerce sends a base64 HMAC-SHA256 using the webhook secret). Reject invalid signatures before processing.
// Example: fetch recent orders from WooCommerce
// <b>//</b> This code uses global env vars for secrets: WC_CONSUMER_KEY and WC_CONSUMER_SECRET
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
export async function listRecentOrders() {
const key = process.env.WC_CONSUMER_KEY;
const secret = process.env.WC_CONSUMER_SECRET;
const base = process.env.WC_BASE_URL; // e.g. "https://store.example.com"
if (!key || !secret || !base) {
throw new Error('Missing WooCommerce credentials or base URL');
}
const auth = Buffer.from(`${key}:${secret}`).toString('base64');
const url = `${base.replace(/\/$/,'')}/wp-json/wc/v3/orders?per_page=20`;
const res = await fetch(url, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Basic ${auth}`,
'Accept': 'application/json'
}
});
if (!res.ok) {
const text = await res.text();
throw new Error(`WooCommerce API error ${res.status}: ${text}`);
}
const orders = await res.json();
return orders;
}
// Simple webhook receiver that verifies X-WC-Webhook-Signature
import express from 'express';
import crypto from 'crypto';
const app = express();
// <b>//</b> Raw body needed to compute signature, express.json won't do raw by default for HMAC
app.use(express.raw({ type: '*/*' }));
app.post('/webhook/woocommerce', async (req, res) => {
const secret = process.env.WC_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
const sig = req.headers['x-wc-webhook-signature'];
const rawBody = req.body; // Buffer
if (!secret || !sig) {
return res.status(400).send('Missing secret or signature');
}
const hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(rawBody)
.digest('base64');
if (!crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(hmac), Buffer.from(sig))) {
return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
}
const payload = JSON.parse(rawBody.toString('utf8'));
// <b>//</b> Enqueue or forward the payload for processing (durable queue recommended)
// e.g., push to SQS/Redis, or call your backend to trigger ClawHub skill
// await enqueueEvent(payload);
return res.status(200).send('OK');
});
app.listen(3000);

If an OpenClaw API key authentication fails, first confirm the key is loaded into the agent runtime (env var or secret), the skill/agent has permission to read it, and the request uses the exact header your integration expects (common patterns: Authorization: Bearer <KEY> or x-api-key: <KEY>). Reproduce the call locally, inspect runtime logs and API responses (401/403) and rotate/regenerate the key if it might be revoked.
# <b>//</b> reproduce with curl
curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENCLAW_API_KEY" https://api.example.com/endpoint
// <b>//</b> node fetch example
fetch('https://api.example.com/endpoint',{
method:'GET',
headers:{ 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.OPENCLAW_API_KEY}` }
});

Direct answer: Webhooks not arriving or failing signature checks usually come from unreachable endpoints, misconfigured webhook secrets, transformed request bodies, clock skew, or middleware that reads the body before verification. Fix by confirming delivery on the provider, validating public URL/SSL and firewall, matching the exact secret and signature algorithm, and logging raw headers + raw body for comparison.
// Example HMAC SHA256 verification in Node.js
const crypto = require('crypto'); // compute signature from raw body and secret
function verify(rawBody, secret, signatureHeader) {
// compute expected signature
const expected = 'sha256=' + crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(rawBody).digest('hex');
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(expected), Buffer.from(signatureHeader));

Direct answer: most WooCommerce sync problems come from webhook misconfiguration, permissions/auth failures, or mismatched status mappings inside the skill. Verify webhooks deliver to the OpenClaw skill endpoint, confirm API keys/OAuth are set in environment variables, inspect delivery logs and your skill’s mapping logic so Woo status values map to the exact states your agent expects.
4
Direct answer: SKU or variant ID mismatches usually occur because the external SKU used to identify a WooCommerce variation doesn't match the SKU or variation_id stored in your source system or because your sync uses the wrong lookup key (e.g., variation_id vs SKU). Fix by aligning lookup keys, reconciling records, and verifying API payloads and credentials before retries.
