I have been using fmEcommerce Link (WooCommerce Edition) for several months. I want to compliment Andrew and Databuzz on both their outstanding product, and amazing service. I’ve been using FileMaker for over 25 years, but I’m not great at JSON or SQL. fmEcommerce Link has worked beautifully to connect my small business’s FileMaker backend to a new WooCommerce web store running on WordPress. Andrew has been a huge help at integrating their code with mine, and even answered a few technical questions unrelated to their software. Databuzz’s upgrades for FileMaker 16 and WooCommerce’s major 3.0 update were both timely, and worked great on the first try. I wholeheartedly recommend Databuzz and fmEcommerce for your FileMaker database and web store. For the record I am not an employee or affiliated with Databuzz.

Follow-up Dec 2022:  Andrew just helped me with a WooCommerce issue that turned-out to be unrelated to his software, fmEcommerce.  I noticed that he is still using my testimonial on his web site, so I wanted to add that I am still using the same fmEcommerce software that I installed over five years ago without a single hiccup!  I have successfully synchronized products thousands of times from FileMaker to WooCommerce through the latest versions of WordPress, PHP and WC.  It is rock solid.

After testing all of the inventory control plug-ins available for WooCommerce and realizing that none worked realistically for managing a large catalog I came across fmEcommerce Link (WooCommerce Edition).

Delighted to report that it worked brilliantly from the get. This is the only solution out there that makes it possible to…

– find a group of products by vendor and apply batch calculated updates like decreasing the asking price by .05%
– find a group of products by entry date and temporarily make them invisible or remove them from the catalog
– re-order the items in the catalog to make sure the initial product landing page has fresh products every day
– enable communications between practically any other system to keep products in sync between systems

Integrating the FileMaker calculation engine with WooCommerce is truly a missing link solution.

Awesome stuff! Great, great product.
