Description
Pazienza for WooCommerce connects your WooCommerce store to Pazienza — the management platform for Italian professionals and small businesses.
GitHub: https://github.com/PazienzaApp/pazienza-woocommerce
Every completed order is synced automatically: the customer is created or updated in Pazienza, and from the order screen you can generate an electronic invoice (XML SDI format) with a single click.
Key Features
- Customer sync — WooCommerce customers are automatically created in Pazienza when an order is completed. If the customer already exists (matched by tax code or email), their data is updated.
- Electronic invoicing — Generate XML invoices (Italian SDI format) directly from any WooCommerce order. Pazienza handles submission to the Sistema di Interscambio.
- Fiscal fields at checkout — Adds required Italian billing fields to checkout: tax code (codice fiscale), VAT number (partita IVA), SDI recipient code, and PEC email. Fields are shown intelligently based on customer type (individual or business).
- Block Checkout compatible — Works with both classic WooCommerce checkout and the new WooCommerce Block Checkout.
- VAT exemption codes (Natura IVA) — Configure the VAT nature code (N1–N7) per product or category, required for invoices under VAT exemption regimes.
- VAT rate mapping — Map WooCommerce tax rates to Pazienza rates for consistent invoicing.
- My Account integration — Logged-in customers can view their invoices in the “My Account” area.
- Order panel — Each order screen shows the Pazienza sync status and a button to create or view the invoice.

FAQ
-
Do I need a Pazienza account to use this plugin?
-
Yes. The plugin connects to the Pazienza Cloud API for customer sync and invoicing. Without an active account, the plugin will not work.
-
Is an invoice generated automatically for every order?
-
The customer sync and record creation in Pazienza happen automatically. Invoice generation can be triggered manually from the order screen, or you can enable automatic creation in the sync settings.
-
Is it compatible with VAT exemption regimes (forfettario, esenzione, etc.)?
-
Yes. You can configure the VAT nature code per product (N1–N7) and the fiscal regime in the settings. Pazienza correctly populates the XML fields for all regimes supported by the Sistema di Interscambio.
-
Are existing customers migrated to Pazienza?
-
No. Only customers who place a new order after the plugin is activated are synced. To import existing customers, use the import feature in Pazienza.
-
Can I use the plugin without the WooCommerce Block Checkout?
-
Yes. The plugin supports both the classic checkout (shortcode) and the new WooCommerce Block Checkout (8.x+).
-
How does the consent collection at checkout work?
-
If the Pazienza privacy module is active, the plugin adds a GDPR consent field to the checkout. The consent is recorded in Pazienza alongside the customer record.
