There are a number of reasons why you might want to connect WooCommerce store to Google Sheets.

And it would definitely help to manage the data with real-time integration.

Operate your store from within a spreadsheet

One reason to connect your WooCommerce store with Google Sheets is that you can operate the store from within a spreadsheet.

This means you have complete control over the data and can make changes or updates without having to go through any web interface.

Additionally, you can connect this integrated Google sheet with your team in more places like CRM, vendors, email marketing apps etc.

Keep track of products and their inventory levels

One of the key benefits of using Google Sheets as your primary eCommerce data platform is that you can keep track of products and their inventory levels in real-time.

This helps you to make informed business decisions about what to produce, sell, and warehouse.

You can also use this information to optimize your sales funnel and pricing strategy.

Analyze long-term results and build forecasts

Integrating your WooCommerce store with Google Sheets also allows you to analyze long-term results and build forecasts.
