Comparing a WooCommerce Exact Online connector (or plugin) to custom maatwerk? Connectors win on price and speed for standard catalogs. They lose when B2B price books, multiple Exact administrations, odd VAT, or HPOS + custom order meta must stay consistent.
HostHob does not race €995 connector installs. We own the wedge: when the connector fails — custom API sync with mapping, queues, and finance-readable logs.
Choose a connector when
- Simple products, one administration, standard tax
- You accept the connector’s field map as the product
- Volume and edge cases are low
Choose custom when
- Customer-specific pricing or contract lines
- Multi-admin / multi-entity Exact setups
- You need idempotent retries and alertable failures
- Partial syncs already burned trust with finance
