Products will automatically flow from Heritage Auctions to your WooCommerce store with full details, images, and pricing.

What WooCommerce REST API version is required for Heritage Auctions sync?

SyncAuction requires WooCommerce REST API v3, which is included in WooCommerce 3.5 and later. We recommend WooCommerce 5.0+ for optimal performance and compatibility with all features including PCGS/NGC grade attributes and high-resolution image galleries from Heritage Auctions. Most modern WooCommerce installations meet these requirements.

Is SyncAuction compatible with popular WooCommerce plugins?

Yes, SyncAuction is compatible with most popular WooCommerce plugins including WPML for multilingual stores, WooCommerce Subscriptions, Yoast SEO, RankMath, and caching plugins like WP Rocket and W3 Total Cache. We use standard WooCommerce REST APIs to ensure broad compatibility. If you use security plugins like Wordfence or Sucuri, ensure REST API access is whitelisted for SyncAuction.

Does SyncAuction support PCGS and NGC graded coins in WooCommerce?

Yes, SyncAuction fully supports PCGS and NGC graded coins from Heritage Auctions. Certification numbers, grades (MS60-MS70, PR60-PR70), and grading service are synced as WooCommerce product attributes. You can filter products by grade in your store, display grade information on product pages, and apply conditional pricing rules based on grade ranges (e.g., 10% markup for MS67+).

What happens when a coin sells on WooCommerce?

When a WooCommerce order is placed for a Heritage Auctions item, SyncAuction receives the webhook notification in real-time. The item is immediately marked as sold in your central inventory, removed from HA.com Dealer Direct if you've enabled that option, and you receive order details for fulfillment. This prevents overselling across platforms.

Can I sync to multiple WooCommerce stores?

Yes, SyncAuction supports multi-store configurations. You can sync your Heritage Auctions Dealer Direct inventory to multiple WooCommerce stores with different pricing rules, category mappings, and inventory allocation strategies for each store. This is ideal for dealers with regional storefronts or specialty shops focusing on different collectible categories.

How do I generate WooCommerce API keys?

Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API in your WordPress admin. Click "Add Key", enter a description like "SyncAuction - Heritage Auctions Integration", select a user with administrator privileges, set permissions to "Read/Write", and click "Generate API Key". Copy both the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret immediately and paste them into your SyncAuction store configuration. The secret is only shown once, so save it securely.

What hosting providers work with SyncAuction?

SyncAuction works with any hosting that supports WooCommerce, including shared hosting, VPS, and managed WordPress hosts like WP Engine, Kinsta, SiteGround, and Cloudways. Requirements include HTTPS enabled and REST API access not blocked by firewall or security rules. We recommend managed WooCommerce hosting for the best experience and performance.
