As mentioned in the first point shown at login, to connect your WooCommerce site with Nembol, you need to enable the REST API in your WooCommerce admin interface:
In your WordPress admin interface (mystore.com/wp-admin):
- Go to WooCommerce
- Click on Settings
- in the API tab, tick the box “Enable the REST API”. More recent WooCommerce versions have instead an “Enable the legacy REST API” command under Settings > Advanced
- Don’t forget to save changes at the bottom.
In addition, you need to allow Post name in your WordPress Permalinks settings.
To do that:
- Access to your WordPress settings
- Go to Permalink settings (mystore.com/woocommerce/wp-admin/options-permalink.php)
- Allow Post name
- Save changes.
Common settings setup: WooCommerce
In Nembol you can find settings which are common to all channels, called Common Settings, and the settings which are specific channel by channel.
Sync stock from a channel
When an order is received
Select WooCommerce if you want stock to be updated in Nembol when an order is received there. Each time a sale happens in WooCommerce, the order is sent to Nembol and triggers a stock update in Nembol, which is then reflected across your connected channels.
Unselect it if you don’t want WooCommerce orders to trigger stock updates in Nembol.

When stock is edited
Choose if WooCommerce should update Nembol stock when quantity is changed in the channel, including changes made automatically by third-party apps.

Push updates to channels
Select WooCommerce if you want to manage your WooCommerce listings directly from Nembol.
With this setup, edits made in Nembol — such as title, tags, pictures, description, quantity, or price — will automatically update the corresponding WooCommerce listings when you click Save.
Unselect it if you don’t want Nembol to update your WooCommerce listings.

Important rules
Product Description Synchronization
Nembol synchronizes only the WooCommerce Product description field.
The WooCommerce Short description field is never imported, synced, or updated by Nembol.
This behavior is intentional. Since most marketplaces and ecommerce channels supported by Nembol do not provide an equivalent short description field, Nembol manages a single shared product description across all channels to ensure consistency.
Description Sync Rules:
- Import (WooCommerce → Nembol): only the Product description is imported
- Publish (Nembol → WooCommerce): only the Product description is written
- Edit syncs (both directions): only the Product description is synchronized
The WooCommerce Short description always remains local to WooCommerce.
Price Synchronization
WooCommerce supports two separate price fields:
- Regular price
- Sale price
Nembol synchronizes only the Regular price.
This applies to:
- imports
- publish operations
- edit synchronizations
- simple products
- product variants
The WooCommerce Sale price is never imported or updated by Nembol.
This allows you to:
- manage your multichannel pricing with Nembol’s pricing rules
- keep WooCommerce-specific discounts independent through WooCommerce Sale prices
Example:
Initial WooCommerce values
- Regular price: 129.99
- Sale price: 109.99
Nembol imports only the Regular price.
If Nembol updates the price to 119.99
WooCommerce becomes:
- Regular price: 119.99
- Sale price: 109.99
The Sale price remains active because it is still lower.
If Nembol updates the price to 99.99
WooCommerce becomes:
- Regular price: 99.99
- Sale price: empty
WooCommerce removes the Sale price automatically because a Sale price cannot be higher than the Regular price.
Please note, only orders in statuses Processing and Completed are collected from Nembol and concur at updating your stock count in Nembol, and through Nembol in the connected channels.
Orders in other statuses are ignored by Nembol. Therefore, you will not see all of your WooCommerce orders inside your Nembol account, but only the orders that are in either of the two WooCommerce statuses a) Processing, b) Completed.
Pull content from a channel

Transfer orders to WooCommerce for fulfillment
WooCommerce can serve as the central operational hub for your multichannel order management.
Through Nembol’s Transfer orders for fulfillment function, orders placed on connected channels, including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, and TikTok Shop, are automatically imported into your WooCommerce backend, enabling a consistent fulfillment workflow without switching between platforms.
To activate Transfer Orders to WooCommerce:
- Open the Channels Tab in Nembol
- Click Common settings
- Enable “Transfer Orders for fulfillment” for WooCommerce
- Enable “Sync stock from a channel” for each channel from which you want to import orders.
Screenshot 8: Select WooCommerce as the destination channel to automatically transfer orders from all your connected sales channels.
If you select WooCommerce in this setting, edits made directly in your WooCommerce store will automatically reflect in Nembol.
To enable this function:
- Open the Channels Tab in Nembol
- Click Common settings next to the WooCommerce channel
- Scroll down and enable “Pull content from a channel” for WooCommerce.
Add variations images in WooCommerce
Nembol supports variant images on WooCommerce. Each variation can have its own dedicated image, allowing different variants of the same product to display different photos. Unlike some marketplaces, WooCommerce does not require variant images to be included in the product’s main image gallery.
To assign images to product variations in Nembol:
- Open the Products tab
- Click on the product and select Edit
- Scroll down to the Variants section
- Select the variation you want to update and upload its image
- Repeat the process for each variation, then click Save & Update.
When publishing to WooCommerce, Nembol automatically assigns the selected image to the corresponding variation. Each variation can have one dedicated image, which is displayed when customers select that option on your store.
Make sure Push updates to channels is enabled if you want the changes made in Nembol to sync automatically with WooCommerce. If you prefer to manage variation images directly in WooCommerce, enable Pull content from a channel in your common settings.
Publish to WooCommerce
In WooCommerce Publish settings, you can select:
- Product status of the product you wish to publish – choose between “Published”, “Draft”, “Pending review”, “Private”
- Product Category in which you want to publish your product. Nembol can list in a specific WooCommerce category, we advise picking a category, list there all products belonging to it, then come back into settings, change category, and list another bulk of products.
- Catalog visibility, according to your personal seller needs.
Product Status and categories can be easily reassigned later in WooCommerce.

Import from WooCommerce
To manage your import settings, open your Channels Tab, click on WooCommerce and then click on “Import” settings.
Here, you can:
- Filter products by product status, for example: published and draft products, or both, depending on your workflow.
- Choose the Product Category from which you wish to import your listings from WooCommerce into Nembol.
You can import your products from WooCommerce to Nembol with their full HTML descriptions. This is useful if:
- You wish to have a better formatted descriptions in other channels such as Shopify or eBay
- Nembol automatically extracts correctly formatted HTML bullets from descriptions to fill Amazon bullets
Screenshot 10: Import from WooCommerce settings inside Nembol.
To import your products from WooCommerce:
- Go to the Products tab in Nembol
- Click on the Import button
- Click “Import from channels”
- Select WooCommerce in the list of channels
In the Import overlay, you can see your import settings for that channel. To manage them, click on the “Settings” button at the bottom right, which will redirect you right to WooCommerce settings we saw above.
Please note: once your products have been imported without HTML, this cannot be undone — you would have to delete all products from Nembol and import them again, which breaks any inventory sync you have set up in the meantime. Decide whether you want HTML descriptions before your first import.
