PAC Order Bridge for WooCommerce connects WooCommerce directly to Claris FileMaker Server through the FileMaker Data API.

It is designed for FileMaker developers who want WooCommerce integration without having to write PHP, learn WordPress hooks, configure custom WooCommerce webhooks or add middleware.

The free edition provides a complete, usable workflow:

listens only for the WooCommerce Completed order status;
authenticates with the FileMaker Data API;
executes a FileMaker script;
passes only the WooCommerce order ID as script.param;
closes the FileMaker Data API session;
includes guided setup progress plus connection, script and end-to-end order tests;
explains exactly what the FileMaker script receives through Get ( ScriptParameter );
provides actionable error messages and copyable support diagnostics;
records the first successful live delivery locally in WordPress;
uses HTTPS with certificate verification;
stores the FileMaker password encrypted using WordPress security salts;
supports WooCommerce HPOS.

The FileMaker script remains under your control. PAC handles the WooCommerce and FileMaker Data API plumbing; your FileMaker script receives the selected parameter and continues with your own business logic.

Professional edition

PAC Order Bridge Professional turns the WooCommerce order lifecycle into a configurable FileMaker workflow. For each selected status, you can enable or disable delivery, choose a dedicated FileMaker script and choose its own payload. It supports Pending payment, Processing, On hold, Completed, Cancelled, Refunded and Failed, with immediate or background delivery, automatic retries, manual resend and diagnostics.

Each status can send the legacy order ID, the displayed order number, a compact JSON value, the complete order JSON or a custom template. The complete payload includes addresses, products, SKU and variation data, taxes, shipping, fees, coupons, refunds and metadata, so a FileMaker script can process the order without a second WooCommerce lookup. A status row with no custom script or payload inherits the global setting, while the order ID remains available for existing FileMaker scripts.

The Full order JSON option sends the WooCommerce order snapshot through script.param, including order fields, billing and shipping addresses, product lines, taxes, shipping lines, fees, coupons, metadata and refunds. It may contain personal or custom metadata from the order. It is available in Professional and is intended for FileMaker scripts that want the order data in one structured value.

Free is the focused Completed order ID connector. Professional adds the per-status orchestration and structured payloads needed when FileMaker must react differently to payment, fulfilment, cancellation, refund or failure.

The free edition does not require a paid license and continues to work if Freemius usage opt-in is skipped.

5-minute setup

Install and activate WooCommerce and PAC Order Bridge for WooCommerce.
Open WooCommerce > Settings > Integrations > PAC Order Bridge.
Enter the HTTPS FileMaker Server URL, Data API version, database, layout, script, username and password.
Ensure the FileMaker account has the fmrest extended privilege and access to the configured file, layout and script.
In FileMaker, create a field to store the WooCommerce order ID. Treat that ID as the stable external key for the WooCommerce order.
In the FileMaker script, read the incoming value with Get ( ScriptParameter ) and store/use it in your workflow.
Run Test connection.
Run Script test.
Enter an existing WooCommerce order ID and run End-to-end order test.

The plugin settings page shows setup progress and tells you which step still needs attention.

External services

This plugin connects to external services only for the functions described below.

FileMaker Data API

When the administrator configures a FileMaker Server and runs a test or when a WooCommerce order reaches Completed, the plugin sends requests directly to that administrator-configured FileMaker Server. Authentication credentials, database/layout/script names and the WooCommerce order ID are transmitted to that server over HTTPS. PAC Age does not receive or proxy these requests.

Freemius

The plugin includes the Freemius SDK for optional usage opt-in and for purchasing/managing the Professional edition. The free connector remains usable if the administrator skips the Freemius opt-in. When an administrator explicitly opts in, Freemius may receive the administrator’s name/email, site URL, product/version state, WordPress/PHP versions, site language and optional plugin/theme environment data as described by Freemius.

Privacy

PAC Order Bridge does not send WooCommerce customer/order content to PAC Age. FileMaker communication goes directly to the FileMaker Server configured by the administrator. Freemius communication follows the opt-in and licensing behavior described in the External services section.
