Automatically Fulfill WooCommerce Orders via Zendrop Without Lifting a Finger

When a new order is placed in WooCommerce, this workflow instantly pushes the order details to Zendrop for automated fulfillment. Dropshippers save hours of manual copy-paste work and reduce fulfillment errors.

difficulty Intermediatesetup 45 minresult Every new paid WooCommerce order is automatically sent to Zendrop's API so fulfillment begins immediately without any manual action.—
  1. 1

    Trigger on New WooCommerce Order

    Add the WooCommerce Trigger node and set the Event to order.created. In your WooCommerce admin under Settings > Advanced > REST API, create an API key and paste the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret into the node credentials. Set your store URL in the credential as well. This node fires every time a customer places an order.

  2. 2

    Filter for Paid Orders Only

    Add an IF node connected to the trigger. Set the condition to check {{$json["status"]}} equals processing. This ensures only paid orders (WooCommerce sets status to processing after successful payment) are forwarded to Zendrop, skipping pending or cancelled orders.

  3. 3

    Map Order Fields to Zendrop Format

    Add a Set node on the TRUE branch of the IF node. Create fields that Zendrop expects: set shipping_name to {{$json["shipping"]["first_name"]}} {{$json["shipping"]["last_name"]}}, shipping_address to {{$json["shipping"]["address_1"]}}, shipping_city to {{$json["shipping"]["city"]}}, shipping_zip to {{$json["shipping"]["postcode"]}}, shipping_country to {{$json["shipping"]["country"]}}, and order_id to {{$json["id"]}}. This prepares a clean payload for Zendrop.

  4. 4

    Send Order to Zendrop API

    Add an HTTP Request node connected to the Set node. Set Method to POST and URL to https://app.zendrop.com/api/v1/orders. Under Authentication choose Header Auth and add a header named Authorization with value Bearer YOUR_ZENDROP_API_KEY (replace with your actual key from Zendrop dashboard under Settings > API). Set Body Content Type to JSON and in Body Parameters pass the mapped fields from the previous node using {{$json}}. In the node notes, paste your Zendrop API key location for reference.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my Zendrop API key?

Log in to your Zendrop account, go to Settings in the left sidebar, then click API. Generate a new API key there and copy it into the HTTP Request node's Authorization header as shown in Step 4.

What if my WooCommerce store is on localhost and n8n can't reach it?

Your WooCommerce store must be publicly accessible for the webhook trigger to work. If you are developing locally, use a tool like ngrok to expose your local server, or deploy your store to a live hosting environment before setting up this workflow.

Will this workflow handle orders with multiple products?

The current workflow passes the full order payload to Zendrop including the line_items array. As long as each product SKU in your WooCommerce store is linked to a Zendrop product, Zendrop will fulfill all items in the order. Make sure your product mappings are configured inside your Zendrop account first.
