Payments, customers and learning
Need a Stripe payment to unlock an account, WooCommerce orders to reach your CRM, or course access to update automatically? I work on the connections between existing websites and the tools around them.
Tell me which systems are involved, what data should pass between them and where the current flow fails.
The systems I can help connect
The brand names matter, but the journey matters more. A useful brief says what should trigger the connection, which information needs to move and what a person should see when it works.
I can improve the connections around an existing WooCommerce shop without assuming the store needs rebuilding.
For one-off payments or subscriptions, I can add or repair a payment flow using the Stripe approach that suits the requirement.
If your CRM provides a suitable API or webhook, I can connect a defined website journey and remove avoidable manual data entry.
I can connect course and learner journeys where the learning platform supports an appropriate API, webhook or LTI connection.
Typical integration requirements
You don't need to provide an API specification. Describe what the customer, learner or member does now, what event should follow and which system should own the result.
Trace the Stripe event, repair the webhook and make sure retries don't create duplicate accounts or enrolments.
Map the required fields and pass new WooCommerce orders into the existing sales process.
Choose which system owns each piece of data, then fix the direction and timing of the updates.
Trace the journey from purchase to enrolment and repair the point where the data transfer fails.
Scoping the work
Integration complexity depends on the available APIs, documentation, permissions, data mapping and test environments. I review those dependencies before estimating the work.
Often contained
Usually needs more discovery
Many contained integrations land roughly in the 10–20-hour range. That is a useful guide, not a ceiling or a fixed package. If the appropriate scope is larger, I'll explain why and suggest how to stage the work.
Testing and handover
Integrations sit between systems that can be slow, unavailable or unexpectedly strict. I test the important paths and leave enough information for the next person to understand what happens where.
Before changing code, I write down what starts the process, which system owns the data and what should happen next.
Where the services allow it, I use staging, sandbox accounts and test credentials before touching a live payment or customer journey.
I test rejected payments, missing fields, delayed webhooks and repeated events as well as the expected successful flow.
API keys and webhook secrets belong in the appropriate account or environment settings, with access limited to what the integration requires.
I explain the integration flow, leave technical notes and keep the work in your accounts and codebase wherever practical.
If a provider's plan, API limits or documentation affects the scope, I explain the impact before continuing.
Common questions
The quickest way to a useful answer is to name the systems and describe one journey from start to finish.
Often, although every platform exposes different capabilities. Send me the system names and the journey you want to connect. I'll review the available APIs, webhooks, plugins or LTI support before estimating the work.
Yes, if there is sufficient access to trace the current behaviour. Useful starting points are the code, provider dashboards, webhook or error logs, and an example that reproduces the problem.
It depends on the experience you need and what the current site can support. A hosted checkout is often the simpler route. An embedded flow gives the website more control, but usually requires more implementation and testing. I'll recommend the least complex option that meets the requirement.
Repairing one webhook, adding a hosted checkout or sending one form into a CRM can be relatively small. Two-way synchronisation, data migration or several connected systems require more time. I'll review the dependencies and propose an appropriate scope.
That is a different kind of project from connecting an existing system. I can look at what you need and tell you whether it makes sense for me to handle it, split it into stages or point you towards a more suitable specialist.
The current website, the systems involved, a plain-English description of what should happen and access to the relevant documentation or test accounts. Please don't send passwords or live API keys through the contact form.
Start with the failed data flow
Send me the website, the systems involved and an example of the journey you need to correct. I'll review the available integration routes and recommend a practical next step.
