Sending Order Data Using cURL to External Systems in WooCommerce

If you're developing a WooCommerce theme and need to integrate it with an external order management system, you're likely facing the challenge of sending order details from your WooCommerce site to an external account. This is particularly relevant for businesses like one of our clients, who sells mobile phones wholesale and needs to send order data to an external system.

In this post, we’ll walk through how to leverage cURL, a powerful tool for transferring data with URLs, to achieve this integration seamlessly.

Understanding the Integration Process

The Problem:

Your client needs to transfer order details from a WooCommerce store to a system known as NATM hosted by mobileshop.bz. The process involves two main steps:

Reserving articles (products).

Creating a sales order.

Each of these steps requires a specific cURL request containing the order data.

The Solution:

To facilitate this process, you'll be using PHP and WooCommerce hooks. Here’s how you can set it up within your theme's functions.php file.

Step-by-Step Implementation

1. Using WooCommerce Hooks

To ensure that your code executes every time an order is completed, you will utilize WooCommerce's hooks. The woocommerce_thankyou hook is perfect for this because it triggers after the customer has placed an order.

Here’s a starter code to get you going:

2. Reserving Products

Create a dedicated function to reserve items. The function will make a cURL request to reserve the articles by sending their SKU and quantity.
