Hooks & Filters

WooCommerce Stock Sync Pro has hooks and filters which can be used to modify it’s behavior. For example, you can do the following:

• Prevent syncing of a certain product
• Add additional meta data when syncing occurs

You can try the examples below with Code Snippets or add them to your theme’s functions.php file.

woocommerce_rest_pre_insert_product_object

The filter is used to modify product data before it’s saved on the receiving website.

Example: save additional meta data

<?php
add_filter( 'woocommerce_rest_pre_insert_product_object', function( $product, $request, $creating ) {
  update_post_meta( $product->get_id(), '_is_synced', true );

  return $product;
}, 10, 3 );

woo_stock_sync_should_sync

The filter is used to determine whether or not the product should be synced.

Example: only sync if the product has the category with the slug acme

<?php
add_filter( 'woo_stock_sync_should_sync', function( $should_sync, $product ) {
	$slug = 'acme';

	// Get product categories
	$cat_slugs = wp_get_post_terms( $product->get_id(), 'product_cat', [
		'hide_empty' => false,
		'fields' => 'slugs',
	] );

	// Stop syncing if the product doesn't have the category with the slug "acme"
	if ( ! in_array( $slug, $cat_slugs, true ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	return $should_sync;
}, 10, 2 );
