Sales to freee for WooCommerce — shop sales as deals in freee accounting

Sales to freee records WooCommerce sales in freee accounting. An order reaches the status you chose, and a deal appears in freee with lines by tax rate and a total equal to the order. We found no direct WooCommerce and freee connector: not in their app store, not on wordpress.org, not on the WooCommerce marketplace.

This plugin has never worked with real freee. The same author wrote that server, so it only imitates the answers of freee. Try the plugin on a test company in freee first.

The plugin makes no promise of legal compliance and is not accounting or tax advice. Check the accounts, tax categories and the way of booking with your accountant.

What the buyer sees

The buyer sees nothing new: the plugin adds no checkout fields, and buyer names are not sent to freee. The classic and block checkout work as before and sending runs in the background, so a freee that does not answer does not hold up a purchase.

What the admin gets

On the connection tab you paste the Client ID and Client Secret of your private app and confirm the company on the freee screen. Then you choose the status, the sales account and the tax categories: the plugin suggests the usual ones and you check them.

The order shows the deal number, the amount or the reason freee refused, and a send button. The activity tab has the queue, the log and a retry button. When freee asks to wait or stops accepting the connection, the activity tab says so and the sales stay in the queue.

In Pro a paid order goes in as a settled deal on the account of its payment method, and refunds and cancellations are recorded as a separate deal.

How it works, step by step

1. You create a private app in freee and enter the callback address.
2. You paste the Client ID and Client Secret and confirm the company on the freee screen.
3. You choose the status, the sales account and the tax categories.
4. An order reaches the status and a job joins the queue.
5. A deal appears in freee and its number on the order.
6. In Pro, payments, refunds and cancellations record themselves.

Under the hood

• There is no go-between: the shop talks to freee directly through your app.
• The deal reference carries the order number, and the plugin looks for it after a lost answer.
• The search reads up to 20 pages of 100 deals for the day: above 2,000 deals in a day a duplicate cannot be ruled out.
• The Client Secret and tokens are kept encrypted and not shown back.
• An old order is not sent by itself, only by the button.
• If WP-Cron has slept for over 6 hours, you may have to connect again.
• Without Pro a refund stays a note on the order.

How to install

1. Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin: pick the zip and activate.
2. WooCommerce → freee: copy the callback address into the freee app.
3. Paste the Client ID and Client Secret, press Connect and choose the company.
4. On the Accounting tab check the status, account and tax categories, then save.
5. Place a test order on a test company in freee.
6. For Pro: paste the key or start the 7-day trial.

The module is not on wordpress.org yet: the free version and Pro are one archive from this page. Without a key it works as the free version.
