To conclude :
We find many good extensions that will link the accounting software to the WooCommerce store. Our solution seems to be the most interesting based on the following three criteria: price, ease of use and adaptability.
Why this choice?
It is the most expensive but it is a one-time purchase and there is a free version available for life and simplified for those who have less needs in terms of features. In addition, it is very easy to use and install which is not the case for all. And finally, we found that it is the most adaptable because it can be used with several accounting software that are “classic” which will allow you to keep your software for your business and not have to teach your employees a new way of working with a new software.
