MedusaWP is a powerful tool that seamlessly integrates your Medusa e-commerce store with WordPress, offering a range of features to simplify your e-commerce management. We also provide a rich set of Medusa-oriented functions for you to utilize within your WordPress theme.
You can connect to your existing Medusa store and effortlessly import its data into WordPress. You have full visibility into the sync progress and can easily troubleshoot any issues that may arise during the synchronization process. Data health checks ensure that your synced items are error-free and successfully imported into WordPress. Managing media assets is a breeze with the ability to import Medusa thumbnails directly into the WordPress Media Library. You can also manage and display Medusa data as custom post types within your WordPress site.
For a seamless shopping experience, the plugin automatically creates a cart for customers who land on your site. A country switcher functionality is also included, allowing cart region updates based on the selected country code.
When needed, you can remove all synced data and disconnect from Medusa effortlessly.
Unlock the full potential of your Medusa store with the MedusaWP plugin and streamline your e-commerce operations.

},
},
],

medusa-plugin-wordpressplugin that you added in the previous step. For example:
const plugins = [
// ...
{
resolve: `medusa-plugin-wordpress`,
options: {
sync_options: {
attempts: 5,
backoff: {
type: 'exponential',
delay: 2000
}
}
},
},
]

attempts: number;
backoff?: {
type: "fixed" | "exponential";
delay: number;
} | undefined;

WordPress Plugin
- In the root directory of your WordPress installation, run the following command to install the plugin using Composer:
composer require agilo/medusawp
-
Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard using your administrator credentials.
-
After successful installation, click the "Activate" button to activate the plugin.
-
To finish the plugin setup, proceed to the How To Use steps.
How To Use
- Run the following command in the directory of the Medusa backend to run the backend:
npm run start
-
After you have logged into your WordPress site, navigate to the MedusaWP plugin settings page, which can be found in the WordPress admin menu.
-
Connect your Medusa e-commerce store and your WordPress instance. On the default MedusaWP plugin screen enter your Medusa shop URL and credentials - email and password and press "Connect" button.
[!NOTE] If necessary, you can always disconnect from your Medusa shop by opening a dropdown in the upper-right corner, pressing the "Disconnect" button, and confirming your decision.
- When the connection with Medusa is established, sync your Medusa e-commerce data with WordPress by clicking the "Sync" button. You can also choose to import Medusa thumbnails into the WordPress Media Library directly with the data sync (this may slightly slow down your data sync process), or you can import thumbnails separately later using the "Import" button.
[!NOTE] It is possible to remove all your synced Medusa data from your WordPress site at any time using the "Remove" button. We recommend that you backup your data before proceeding with this action.
-
Once the data synchronization is complete, configure the default settings of the MedusaWP plugin to suit your needs. In the dropdown, you can select the default country, which will be used to automatically create a cart in the corresponding region when a customer lands on the site.
-
Verify that the plugin is working as expected by visiting your website and using its features.
That's it! You have successfully installed and set up the MedusaWP plugin. Enjoy using it in your projects and on your WordPress website.
