How to re-activate your Woocommerce connection

A common issue with a Woocommerce integration is your Woocommerce connection being made inactive.This happens when Zenstores makes 5 requests to your store for orders and receives no reply. The cause of this can be many things (like a plugin slowing your site down for example), but when it does happen you can follow the below guide to re-activate your connection.

Step by step guide:

1. First of all hover over Settings and select Channels

3. First click on the Check connection button, this will load a separate page and Zenstores will test your Woocommerce connection. If you receive a positive connection message (like the image below) and orders are still not importing into Zenstones, then continue onto step 4. Otherwise please contact our support team with a screenshot of the error.
