Description
Sell on WooCommerce, eBay, Amazon or other marketplaces? Keep your stock quantities aligned without updating each channel by hand.
When the same products are listed in multiple places, one sale can leave another channel showing stock you no longer have. TrueSKU gives connected listings a central, trusted stock position, helping reduce overselling, manual corrections and uncertainty about what’s actually available.
TrueSKU is a separate, hosted inventory management service. It imports sales from connected channels, tracks stock movements and sends updated stock quantities to supported stores and marketplaces automatically.
Connect WooCommerce in a few clicks
This free plugin provides a convenient connection page within your WordPress dashboard:
- Simple connection: choose Connect to TrueSKU, sign in or create an account, and approve access using WooCommerce’s own authorisation screen. No copying and pasting API keys.
- Connection status: check whether TrueSKU is connected and when the connection was last used.
- Easy disconnection: revoke TrueSKU’s WooCommerce API access from your dashboard.
What TrueSKU does
Once you have connected your store and configured your products and listings in TrueSKU, the service can:
- Import WooCommerce orders and use sales to update the stock position of linked SKUs.
- Sync available stock quantities back to WooCommerce and your other supported, connected sales channels.
- Link listings across channels to a shared stock position, including products sold on more than one marketplace.
- Provide stock movement history, purchase orders, supplier management, stock takes and bundle management.
- Work alongside your existing order fulfilment and shipping processes; this plugin is not a shipping or label-printing replacement.
Stock quantities only: TrueSKU’s channel stock sync does not edit your product titles, descriptions, prices or images.
Pricing: the WordPress plugin is free. The TrueSKU service requires a separate account and a paid subscription after its 21-day free trial. Plans currently start at £33/month, with channel stock syncing included. No payment card is required to start the trial. See TrueSKU pricing for current plans and limits.
The plugin is optional. You can also connect WooCommerce directly from the TrueSKU website. This plugin makes connection, status checking and disconnection available from your WordPress dashboard.
External services
This plugin connects to TrueSKU, a hosted stock-control service operated by Truestone Software Ltd. A TrueSKU account is required to use the service.
- When information is sent: clicking “Connect to TrueSKU” or “Reconnect” opens the TrueSKU connection page in your browser. Installing, activating or simply viewing the plugin does not send data to TrueSKU, and the plugin does not make background requests to TrueSKU.
- Information in the connection link: the link includes your WooCommerce store URL and these attribution parameters:
utm_source=wordpress_org,utm_medium=plugin, andutm_campaign=woocommerce_connector. - Once you authorise access: WooCommerce creates a REST API key with Read/Write permissions and provides it to TrueSKU. The hosted TrueSKU service uses that access to read WooCommerce product, inventory and order data and update stock quantities as part of its syncing service. Order data may include customer and delivery details.
- Disconnecting: the plugin’s Disconnect control revokes the WooCommerce REST API key used by TrueSKU, preventing further access through that key. See TrueSKU’s privacy notice for information about data already processed by the service.

The WordPress plugin does not create its own database tables or store a separate copy of your product or order data.

FAQ
-
Is the plugin free?
-
Yes. The plugin is free to install and use. TrueSKU is a separate paid service, with a 21-day free trial that does not require a payment card. See the TrueSKU pricing page for current subscription prices and limits.
-
Do I need this plugin to use TrueSKU?
-
No. You can connect WooCommerce from the TrueSKU website instead. This plugin makes it convenient to connect, review connection status and disconnect from WordPress.
-
Does TrueSKU change product prices, descriptions or images?
-
No. TrueSKU uses product and order information to manage inventory and syncs stock quantities. It does not update your product titles, descriptions, prices or images as part of stock syncing.
-
Will TrueSKU replace my shipping software?
-
No. TrueSKU focuses on inventory and stock syncing. You can continue using your existing shipping and fulfilment processes.
-
Does stock update instantly?
-
TrueSKU processes sales and stock updates automatically, but syncing is not guaranteed to be instantaneous. Timing depends on processing intervals and the connected sales channels’ APIs.
-
WooCommerce creates a REST API key labelled “TrueSKU” with Read/Write access when you approve the connection. You can view the key under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API. The plugin’s Disconnect button deletes the key used for the connection.
-
Why am I asked to change my permalinks?
-
WooCommerce’s authorisation process requires a permalink structure other than “Plain”. Go to Settings > Permalinks, select a suitable structure, save and try connecting again.
-
Which other sales channels can I connect?
-
TrueSKU supports channels including eBay, Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Etsy, OnBuy and other marketplaces, as well as WooCommerce. Available integrations and capabilities may change; see the TrueSKU website for the current list.
-
Is the plugin compatible with WooCommerce HPOS?
-
Yes. The plugin does not directly read or write WooCommerce orders and declares compatibility with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the block-based checkout.
