# WordPress Integrations

> Stable, seamless data exchange between WordPress and your e-commerce, user management and business systems.

WordPress is often the organisation's front door: the website customers and staff actually see. Its value multiplies when it is not an island. Our **WordPress integration services** connect the platform to the systems that hold your courses, customers, payments and identities, so the site becomes the hub of a coherent digital ecosystem rather than another silo to maintain by hand.

We scope each engagement around the stack you already run. That means understanding which data matters, where it currently lives, and which manual steps the integration should remove. We work with mature plugins where they solve a problem well — configuring, hardening and documenting them — and build custom connectors where nothing on the shelf fits.

The aim is always the same: stable, seamless data exchange, with failure modes that are visible rather than silent, so the people running the site are never left reconciling systems by hand.

## What we connect

### Moodle bridge — Edwiser Bridge

One of our core integrations is the bridge between WordPress and Moodle. Using [Edwiser Bridge](/services/edwiser-bridge/) we join your content platform to the Learning Management System, so registration, enrolment and single sign-on (SSO) are automated between the two and user accounts and course data stay in step. A visitor can register on WordPress, buy or be granted a course, and arrive in Moodle already enrolled and signed in — the smooth path for selling and delivering online education. If learning platforms are new to you, our guide to [what a learning management system is](/guides-and-articles/what-is-a-lms) explains the moving parts; for the platform side, see our [Moodle integration](/services/moodle-integration/) service.

### E-commerce and sales funnels — WooCommerce

Integrating e-commerce — primarily [WooCommerce](/services/woocommerce/) — turns WordPress into a sales funnel for digital products, memberships and courses. We configure payment gateways, apply tax and inventory rules for digital goods, and automate enrolment fulfilment after purchase, so checkout, entitlement and access stay connected end to end instead of being reconciled afterwards.

### Corporate directories and SSO — LDAP and SAML

We connect WordPress authentication and user management to your internal corporate structures. Integration with directories and identity providers such as **LDAP** and **SAML** delivers **Single Sign-On** for staff and partners: people sign in with credentials they already hold, while roles and permissions are applied consistently across the site and your wider infrastructure. Provisioning and de-provisioning can run automatically, so access is granted and withdrawn without a manual ticket.

### Custom API development — PHP and JavaScript

When off-the-shelf plugins do not meet specialist needs, we build the integration ourselves. Using **PHP** and **JavaScript** we develop APIs that exchange data with proprietary systems, CRMs and external providers, mapping fields, identifiers and triggers to the way your business actually works. Where the surrounding application also needs work, our [WordPress development](/services/wordpress-development/) service covers custom plugins, themes and back-end changes.

## How integrations are delivered

Every integration follows the same disciplined path, scaled to the size of the job.

1. **Requirements.** We start with what you need to achieve: which systems are involved, which data matters, which users are affected, and what a finished integration looks like. Constraints such as privacy and record-keeping obligations are reviewed here too.
2. **Map data and auth.** We document the fields, identifiers and triggers that move between WordPress and the other platform, and confirm how authentication and role mapping will work before any code is written.
3. **Build.** We build against the WordPress APIs and the connected platform's own API, favouring supported extension points over core modifications so future updates stay straightforward.
4. **Test and log.** We test the normal path and the failure paths — an abandoned order, a removed user account, a provider timeout — and add logging so problems surface early rather than silently.
5. **Document and support.** Every integration ships with documentation of what it does and how to maintain it, plus a route for changes as your systems evolve. [[NEED: support arrangements or SLA, if one is offered]].

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you connect WordPress to Moodle?
Yes. Using Edwiser Bridge we automate registration, enrolment and SSO between WordPress and Moodle, and keep user and course data synchronised.

### Do you integrate WordPress with corporate SSO?
Yes. We integrate LDAP and SAML directories so staff and partners sign in with their existing credentials and carry the right roles into the site.

### Can you build a custom API integration?
Yes. When no plugin fits, we develop custom APIs in PHP and JavaScript for proprietary systems, CRMs and external services, tested and documented like any other deliverable.

### How do you keep data in sync between systems?
We agree the direction and frequency each field needs — real time, scheduled or event-driven — and build the mapping and error handling around it. [[NEED: synchronisation frequency options and typical volumes supported]].
