The advantages of the newsletter plugin
You have a WooCommerce online store and want to send newsletters to your customers? With the WooCommerce Newsletter Plugin from CleverReach, our email marketing tool is directly connected to your WooCommerce online store. Through this integration, all important data is continuously updated and added bi-directionally, completely automatically.
What does bi-directional synchronization mean?
It means data is synchronized in both directions - regularly and live:
If the address in the data set at CleverReach changes, this is transmitted to WooCommerce.
Unsubscribes from the newsletter are transferred from CleverReach to WooCommerce,
Activities like purchases or shopping cart abandonments in WooCommerce are transferred to CleverReach.
Here's how it starts: initial transfer and creation of your recipient list.
As part of the installation process (more on that below), an entire recipient list is automatically created with various data fields, segments, and tags. These data and tags are useful for sending personalized emails. Your customers will receive offers that are tailored to them. And you? You benefit from more opens, more clicks, and more conversions - even automatically thanks to email automation! Before the initial import of your WooCommerce data, you can decide for yourself who will be "actively" transferred:
- newsletter recipients only, purchase customers or other contacts, or all. The records are created in CleverReach as active recipients in the "WooCommerce" group. They receive so-called "Special Tags":
- Newsletter Recipient -> Subscriber: all people who have signed up for your newsletter.
- Purchaser -> Buyer: All people who have bought something in your store, including guest orderers.
- Contacts -> (Other) contacts: All people who have NOT signed up for your newsletter OR purchased something. In the end, all other people in your database.
Important: All data must have been collected according to the GDPR!
This WooCommerce data of your recipients will be transferred:
- Newsletter signups and unsubscribes (recipients are created with corresponding newsletter status "yes" or "no").
- Data fields: Information such as first name, last name, street, zip code, city, state/province, country, company, store, etc. will be created as data fields.
- Also, the following order/purchase information is created as data fields in the recipient record: Last order date, number of orders, total spend across all orders.
- Purchase information: Products, sales, order number, item number, product name, price, currency, number of orders, total spend across all orders....
- Product information of your WooCommerce items such as image, text, price, sizes, material...
- Product tags from WooCommerce like product category, manufacturer / brand, attributes like color etc. are passed to CR to the respective recipient record.
You can later change the settings in the plugin and set, for example, that more contacts should be synchronized. You can find detailed instructions on the new process in the Help Center post "Special tags and tag-based email creation process in our integrations".
Want to see some examples?
- Using the "Number of orders" data field, you can filter by how many orders a customer has placed with the "Total Orders Spent" field, you can filter your customers by their revenue.
- Use this information to target those customers who have placed more than 50 orders or spent more than 1000 Euros in your store.
- The "last order date" can be used for email marketing automations to reactivate buyers. Other helpful features of the WooCommerce CleverReach plugin include.

About WooCommerce
WooCommerce is a free online store plugin for WordPress. With more than 50 million downloads, it is the most used e-commerce system in the world; more than a third of all online stores run with it. Thanks to a large number of extensions, WooCommerce is extremely flexible and just as easy to set up as WordPress itself. This is why WooCommerce is so interesting, especially for beginners. In a WooCommerce store, not only physical goods can be sold, but also digital products such as downloads; with the help of appropriate plugins also bookings, memberships and subscriptions. Own developers and the extensive Communitiy provide always new extensions and features, so that even complex and extensive stores can be set up. In order to comply with country-specific legal regulations, there are also special plugins that can be used to adapt the respective WooCommerce store to the applicable law (for example, the German law).
