WooCommerce is one of the world’s most flexible ecommerce platforms, built on WordPress and used to sell everything from products and services to bookings, rentals, memberships, and events. With WooCommerce, businesses can create their own online store, accept payments, manage orders, and customize the full customer journey directly from their website.
For operators selling time-based access—such as private venues, activity rooms, saunas, gyms, studios, rentals, storage, parking, or self-service facilities—WooCommerce can be extended with booking and reservation functionality to let customers purchase access for a specific date, time, or duration. When combined with Inlet, those purchases can automatically become secure, time-limited access to a physical space.
Seamless WooCommerce Integration with Inlet
That’s where Inlet comes in.
Inlet provides a secure integration layer between WooCommerce and supported digital lock systems. When a customer places an order, books a time slot, or purchases access through a WooCommerce store, Inlet can help automate the access workflow by issuing a PIN code, digital key, or other supported access credential linked to that purchase.
Whether you operate a self-service playroom, sauna, event space, rental unit, storage facility, gym, or any other bookable location, Inlet helps turn online purchases into automated physical access—without staff needing to hand out keys or manually coordinate entry.
Benefits of using Inlet for WooCommerce integration:
API-first and lock-agnostic – Connect WooCommerce to a wide range of supported smart locks
Automated access after purchase – Issue PIN codes or digital keys based on WooCommerce orders or bookings
Built for flexible business models – Ideal for bookings, rentals, memberships, activities, venues, and self-service facilities
Use Cases
Self-service venues: Let customers book and access a playroom, studio, activity space, meeting room, or private venue automatically
Sauna and wellness bookings: Sell time slots online and provide secure access only during the booked period
Equipment or facility rentals: Grant access to rental rooms, storage areas, lockers, or pickup locations after payment
Gyms and member facilities: Connect WooCommerce purchases, passes, or memberships to access-controlled spaces
