1.Introduction
This is the manual for the integration between Woocommerce and Twinfield.
The option processing of payments is only available if the orders are processed to Twinfield draft entries. This option is not available for Twinfield invoices. Additional costs are charged for this option.
- This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in Twinfield, printing packing slips, or synchronizing products/inventory.
- This integration does not replace the work of an accountant. It saves time because you no longer have to retype documents. The accountant is still needed for advice, expertise, and control.
- We do our utmost to keep the manuals up to date. No rights can be derived from the content of this manual. We appreciate customer feedback to further improve the manuals.
- Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for Woocommerce and in the FAQ for Twinfield.
Installing the integration starts with signing up for a trial period, via our integrations page. After registering, you'll receive an email containing an installation URL and login details. Use this installation URL to start the integration setup. Installation is complete when both dots for the connection are green and the settings in the Configuration tab have been entered and saved.
There is a 30-day trial period. If you want to install another integration, you can do so in the same way. Make sure you are logged out of the integration dashboard and preferably start the new installation in an incognito browser.
At the end of the trial or subscription period, the integration will not be automatically renewed. You will receive an offer for a one-year subscription or renewal by email at the end of this period. You can confirm the renewal by using the payment link in that email. Do you want to terminate the integration in the meantime? This can be done via the dashboard, tab Profile>>Cancel integration.
Are you switching to another web shop/accounting system and do you want to re-establish a connection? In this faq we explain how to do this.
When uninstalling the integration, we recommend revoking the consumerkey and consumersecret in WooCommerce.
2.How the integration works
It is also possible to process the payments based on the orders from to Twinfield. This is only available if the orders are processed to Twinfield draft entries. For Twinfield invoices, this option is not available.
New orders from your online store are retrieved at least once per hour. If webhooks are enabled in the Woocommerce webshop, orders are retrieved in real time. In addition, any previously retrieved orders that have not yet been sent to your accounting system are checked every night. For more details see the FAQ.
If the option Process payment to clearing account is enabled, for each processed order to Twinfield, the task to process the payment will also be created.

At the start of processing a order we perform a number of checks on the Woocommerce order:
- It is checked whether the total of the Woocommerce order is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order lines plus the shipping amount.
- If the order is an ICP order, the VAT number is checked.
- It is checked whether a corresponding VAT code exists in Twinfield for the VAT in each line.
- It is checked whether the order has not already been processed.
A payment is processed for every order that has been processed to Twinfield and that has been paid in Woocommerce. It is possible to always process the payment, regardless of the status in Woocommerce. This can be requested via webcare@webwinkelfacturen.nl.
Processing a Woocommerce order to Twinfield takes place in two steps:
- It is checked if the customer already exists in Twinfield. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
- The Twinfield transaction (draft entry, invoice) is created and processed.
When processing a payment, the integration first looks up the draft entry in Twinfield that belongs to the payment. The integration uses the following criteria to search for the draft entry:
- A match is performed on the amount
- If a customer email address is available, a match is performed on this email address
- A match is performed on the order number and the description in the payment
After processing the payment, the integration will reconcile the payment and the draft entry against each other.
After the order has been forwarded and a success message from Twinfield has been received, the order is marked as completed. The Woocommerce order appears in the Report tab on the dashboard. If Twinfield returns an error while processing the order, the order appears in the Errors tab on the dashboard. Via the yellow button More info more information about the problem can be found. Via the red button Report problem can the order with all necessary information easily be submitted to us after you have tried to resolve the problem yourself. If the problem is solved, in some cases the orders can be processed again with the blue Process button.
When forwarding the payment, the payment is also registered so that it cannot be processed again. Payments can also be reviewed via the dashboard.
Data
Information about the data that is processed can be found in the section Day-to-day: To Twinfield later in the manual.
3.Required: WooCommerce keys
The last paragraph of this chapter "WooCommerce Keys" is only necessary if you want to push real-time orders in addition to the regular batch. If you skip this subsection, your orders from WooCommerce will still be transferred regularly and automatically at the batch level after installing the connection in the next chapter.
To create the webhook, click on the "Webhooks" tab within the "Advanced" main tab and then on the "Add webhook" button.
In the screen that has now opened, fill in the requested information. Provide a clear description for the name of the webhook. The Status must be "active". In the third field, enter when the webhook is activated. We recommend choosing "Order updated" (Dutch "Order gewijzigd") here.
At “Delivery URL" enter: https://interface.cloudinvoice.company/api/v1/servlet/woocommerce/webhook.php?licensekey=UWLICENTIESLEUTEL
where "UWLICENTIESLEUTEL" is of course your own specific webwinkelfacturen.nl license key that you received in your email confirmation of the connection (a 32-character letter/number combination). For the secret, enter the WooCommerce consumer secret as generated at the beginning of this paragraph. Finally, you must save the configuration (save webhook).
Indien je later ooit de Webhooks zou willen de-activeren, ga je binnen "Advanced” tab naar subtab "Webhooks" en kiest voor die specifieke webhook "delete permanently”.
4.Preparation Twinfield
To connect with Twinfield, your own username/password is required to log in. The connection must be established using this username/password.
When using an accountancy username/password, the integration gains access to all records under the accountant's responsibility. This is highly undesirable. The consequence may be that the integration posts to the wrong record. Additionally, the integration has access to all records covered by the accountancy license. This is undesirable from a security perspective and is contrary to GDPR regulations.
For more information, see: FAQ.
5.Installation
Installing the integration starts with signing up for a trial period, via our integrations page. After registering, you'll receive an email with an installation URL and login details. Use this installation URL to start the integration installation.
Activating the integration consists of three steps:
1. Establishing the connection with the WooCommerce webshop. In this step you authorize the integration to read data from your webshop.
2. Establishing the connection with Twinfield. This authorizes the integration to write transactions to your Twinfield administration and read information.
3. The configuration itself.
The connection with the Woocommerce webshop is established using the Clientkey and Clientsecret that you created in a previous section. Click the red Connect button next to Woocommerce and enter the Clientkey and Clientsecret in the popup window. If the connection is established correctly the indicator will turn green. If the connection is not established then this is the FAQ for troubleshooting.
Twinfield connection
The connection with Twinfield is handled via OAuth. Ensure you are logged out of Twinfield before starting the connection. Now click the red Connect button. A login screen for your Twinfield account will automatically appear. Once you log in, you will see a screen asking if you allow the connection. If you confirm this, the connection with Twinfield will be established.
If you want to re-establish the connection at a later time - for example because you want to use a different one - you can do so by clicking the Connect button.
You can specify which statuses orders should be processed to Twinfield. You can select multiple statuses. The integration will never forward orders twice. The integration is protected against this.
It is important that after establishing the connection with Twinfield, you first set the administration code of your Twinfield administration. You can also change the debtors dimension. The default in Twinfield is a debtors dimension 1300.
When configuring the VAT rates and general ledger accounts, a link is created between the VAT rates in webshop and the VAT codes and revenue accounts in Twinfield. You can always make changes by clicking the blue 'Edit' button and selecting an option from the drop-down menus.
In Woocommerce you can work with standard VAT rates or with the VAT rates from the webshop. We recommend that you work with standard VAT rates. This takes a little more time to set up, but it prevents orders from not being processed to Twinfield.
Option 1:
With standard VAT rates you work with a list of VAT rates per EU country. You can adjust the VAT percentage for orders and configure the VAT settings for Twinfield per EU country. For example, if you deliver to Germany you can indicate in the settings that 19% and/or 7% VAT is used and that it should be booked to a separate code in Twinfield.
Option 2:
With VAT rates from the shop the integration retrieves the VAT rates from the webshop. Countries that are not present in the webshop VAT settings will therefore not appear in the list. Woocommerce works with VAT percentages and VAT classes. This combination is loaded and validated by the integration. An order with 21% VAT and VAT class reduced will often not be processed because in Woocommerce the VAT class standard usually belongs to 21%.
We often see this go wrong, which is why we recommend the first option, namely standard VAT rates. Intra-Community (ICP) and international deliveries
The Intra-Community supplies / ICP option is intended for business-to-business deliveries within the EU. These sales are invoiced with 0% VAT. A VAT number from the customer is required. The International option applies to deliveries outside the EU. For these sales, the integration expects 0% VAT; otherwise, the sales cannot be processed. Separate VAT codes and general ledger accounts can be configured for both ICP and international deliveries.
Once the VAT settings have been configured and saved, you will always see the selected VAT rates. If you want to start over, you can use the grey 'Remove VAT settings' button. Your current settings will then be deleted and you can begin again.
When processing orders without processing payments, a link can be established for each payment method in with a fixed debtor. The list of debtors contains the Twinfield debtors with the specific substring WWF_. See this faq for more information, if the list is empty.
If the payments are processed, a link is established between payment methods in webshop and clearing accounts from Twinfield. The possibility to assign payment methods to fixed debtors will then lapse. Processing payments is only possible if the orders are processed to Twinfield draft entries. It is not possible if the orders are processed to Twinfield invoices.
It is possible to process revenue based on product categories. You can configure the general ledger accounts here. We recommend a maximum of 40 categories, and there is a technical maximum of 99 categories. When accounts are configured at the category level, they take precedence. The revenue accounts set under the VAT rates will no longer apply.
6.Day-to-day: From WooCommerce
Once an order has been processed, it cannot be processed again. Any order changed in the webshop after it has been processed will not be updated in Twinfield.
Payments (if activated):
When processing payments, the integration checks every day the Woocommerce orders that have been successfully forwarded to Twinfield. If the order has been forwarded and the status of the order in Woocommerce is paid, then a payment will be created in Twinfield for this order. If desired, payments can always be created — regardless of the status of the order in Woocommerce. Send an email to webcare@webwinkelfacturen.nl to request this.
Orders that are picked up and have a status other than one of the selected options will automatically be transferred the following night if they have one of the selected options in WooCommerce.
* Technical: This concerns the fields [total], [total_tax], [subtotal], [subtotal_tax] and [taxes] per order line in [line_items].
- The fields [total] and [total_tax] contain the line amount excluding VAT and the VAT amount after discount, in two decimals
- The fields [subtotal] and [subtotal_tax] contain the line amount excluding VAT and the VAT amount before discount, in two decimals.
- The [taxes] field contains the same amounts but with four decimals. The integration uses the values in [taxes] for the VAT calculation.
Please note: The integration looks back 30 days to retrieve refunds. Refunds that come in later cannot be processed by the integration. The integration only processes a refund if it has previously processed the order to which the refund relates. Finally, the integration only processes full refunds . Partial refunds are not processed. For more information see the FAQ
Pay special attention to fields that come from plugins. There is a good chance that the integration does not process these fields. For example, with discount plugins the amounts may not be correctly included in the order, preventing the order from being processed.
Field-level specification orders
| Name field | Values from Woocommerce order |
| Order-identifier | [id] |

| Payment method | field [gateway] in [transactions] |
| Order total incl. VAT and discounts | [total_price] |
| Total VAT order incl. discounts | Value in [total_tax], or, if that value is 0, the value from [current_total_tax]. When using [current_total_tax], there's an additional check. The VAT lines in the order must add up to the value in [current_total_tax]. |

| ICP indication | The integration determines as follows whether it concerns an ICP order:
|
| International indication | The integration determines as follows whether it concerns an international order:
|
| Do the order lines have VAT? | To determine whether VAT is applied to order lines, the [subtotal_tax] and [total_tax] fields are examined per line, and the [shipping_tax] fields are examined in the order itself. If any of these fields have a value other than 0, VAT is applied to the order lines. If all fields have a value of 0, there is no VAT on the order lines. |
| To read the order lines, the integration retrieves the [line_items] field. Multiple order lines can be included in the order, and the integration reads these lines one by one. | ||
| Name field | Values from Woocommerce order line | |
| Productid | [product_id] | |
| Category | In the case of processing categories, the category ID and name | |

|
|
| Amounts excl. VAT | Amount in field [total] | |

| Discount in order line | An order line has two totals: [total] and [subtotal]. The [total] amount is the line amount including the discount, and the [subtotal] amount is the amount excluding the discount. Discounts are therefore processed directly in the order line and not added as separate lines. | |
| VAT code and accounts Twinfield | These are determined based on the settings, the VAT percentage and the delivery country. It also takes into account whether the order is an ICP or international order. If processing is done based on categories, the revenue account is determined using the revenue account configured for the respective category in the dashboard | |
| To read the shipping costs, the integration uses the field [shipping_lines]. There can be multiple shipping lines. For the name and VAT percentage only the first line is used, while the amounts from all shipping lines are summed. In most cases there will be only one shipping cost line. | ||
| Name field | Values from Woocommerce order line | |
| Description | [method_title] from the last shipping cost line | |
| VAT amount shipping costs | Each line in the [shipping_lines] field can contain multiple VAT lines in the [taxes] field. These are summed and the total is the VAT amount for shipping costs. | |

| Shipping costs incl VAT | Shipping costs excl. VAT plus the VAT amount for the shipping costs. | |
| VAT percentage | VAT amount for shipping costs divided by the shipping cost amount excl. VAT | |

| Amount excl VAT | [total] in the order | |
| Amount incl VAT | Amount excl. VAT plus VAT amount | |
| VAT percentage | VAT amount of the surcharge divided by the amount excl. VAT | |
| VAT code and accounts Twinfield | These are determined based on the settings, the VAT percentage and the delivery country. It also takes into account whether it is an ICP or international order. | |
| Name field | Values from Woocommerce customer |
| The billing address is in field[billing] and the shipping address in field [shipping]. The content of these fields is always the same, so we do not describe them separately. | |
| Address |
If present based on [billing_address] in the Woocommerce order
|
| VAT number | The VAT number may be present in the [meta_data] of the order. There is a fixed list of keys that are searched. If the VAT number is not found, the integration continues searching in the [vat_number] and VIES data fields in the order. A VAT number is always validated. |
| The option to forward payments to Twinfield in addition to orders can be requested via webcare@webwinkelfacturen.nl. This option has additional costs. The payment is created if the field [date_paid] is filled. | |

7.Day-to-day: To Twinfield
For orders in Woocommerce, draft entries or invoices can be created in Twinfield. The option draft entry is default and is used most often. The option invoices can be requested from us. For the invoices option, you need the paid invoice module, see also the FAQ. If you are in doubt between draft entries (financial transactions) or invoices, we recommend draft entries / transactions.
Create debtors
When processing customer information, it is first checked whether the customer has been processed before. If so, this Twinfield debtor is used as the debtor for the Twinfield transaction. If the customer is not yet known, they are added to Twinfield. Matching is based on email address.
Please note: The integration only creates debtors. The integration does not modify debtors.
Payments from Woocommerce are imported into as memo entries. A memo entry consists of two lines, one line for the payment and one for the associated sales entry. If the sales entry for the payment cannot be found, the memo entry cannot be created.
Please note: we can only process payments if they are processed to draft sales entries, not with invoices. Additionally, the invoice number that is in the outstanding sales entry in Twinfield must be present in the payment transaction of the sale.
Reconcile
After processing the payment, the integration will perform an additional action to reconcile the payment and sale.
The integration cannot automatically have Twinfield invoices or draft entries sent from Twinfield.
