Common challenges in E-Commerce & WooCommerce
Orders trapped in WooCommerce admin are hard to operate against
Fulfillment teams, bookkeepers, and marketers each need different views. A Sheet with WooCommerce order data (plus UTM attribution) supports all three views cheaply, where the WooCommerce admin supports one.
Wholesale / B2B inquiries go through a form, not checkout
Wholesale requests usually use a form and need a sales process before a price or invoice is sent. SheetLink routes the inquiry into a dedicated wholesale sheet while the order flow continues to use WooCommerce for direct sales.
Product feedback and review requests are a different loop from orders
Post-purchase feedback forms, warranty registrations, and review-request replies all benefit from their own sheet with a Status column and a 'needs reply' filter.

Real-world example
A DTC brand selling specialty coffee runs WooCommerce on WordPress with about 800 orders/month. SheetLinkWP streams orders into a 'Daily Orders' sheet that their fulfillment partner pulls every morning. A second sheet captures wholesale inquiries from cafes. A third captures post-purchase feedback. The marketing team joins the orders sheet against their UTM-tagged campaigns to see which Facebook creatives drive repeat orders.
