For advanced users who prefer direct webhook integration:

Step 1: Configure Webhook Endpoint

Set up WooCommerce to send order completion webhooks to Continuata:

Add this to your theme's functions.php or a custom plugin:

add_action('woocommerce_order_status_completed', function($order_id) {
    $order = wc_get_order($order_id);
    
    // Only process orders with digital products
    if (!$order->has_downloadable_item()) return;
    
    $webhook_data = [
        'order_id' => $order_id,
        'customer_email' => $order->get_billing_email(),
        'customer_name' => $order->get_billing_first_name() . ' ' . $order->get_billing_last_name(),
        'items' => []
    ];
    
    foreach ($order->get_items() as $item) {
        $product = $item->get_product();
        if ($product && $product->is_downloadable()) {
            $webhook_data['items'][] = [
                'sku' => $product->get_sku(),
                'name' => $product->get_name(),
                'quantity' => $item->get_quantity()
            ];
        }
    }
    
    // Send to Continuata webhook
    wp_remote_post('https://continuata.io/webhooks/YOUR_ORG_ID/woocommerce', [
        'body' => json_encode($webhook_data),
        'headers' => [
            'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
            'X-WooCommerce-Signature' => hash_hmac('sha256', json_encode($webhook_data), 'your_webhook_secret')
        ]
    ]);
});

Step 2: Configure SKU Mapping

Map WooCommerce product SKUs to Continuata products in your dashboard (Settings → Integrations → SKU Mapping).

Email Templates

Customize how download links are delivered to customers:

Plugin Email Template

Branded emails sent directly from WordPress.

  • • Matches your site branding
  • • Integrates with WooCommerce emails
  • • Customizable via WordPress admin

Continuata Email Service

Professional transactional emails from Continuata.

  • • High deliverability rates
  • • Professional templates
  • • Automatic retry logic

Testing Your Integration

Test Checklist

  • Map it to a Continuata product
  • Place a test order and complete payment
  • Verify download token is generated
  • Test the download link functionality
  • Check that email delivery works (if configured)

Advanced Configuration

Custom Fields Mapping

Map WooCommerce custom fields to Continuata download token metadata:

// Example: Map customer license type to token metadata
add_filter('continuata_token_metadata', function($metadata, $order, $product) {
    $license_type = get_post_meta($product->get_id(), '_license_type', true);
    $metadata['license_type'] = $license_type;
    return $metadata;
}, 10, 3);

Conditional Delivery

Only generate download tokens for specific order conditions:

// Example: Only deliver for orders over $50
add_filter('continuata_should_deliver', function($should_deliver, $order) {
    return $order->get_total() >= 50.00;
}, 10, 2);
