Overview
To connect WooCommerce, you will need the following:
- Base URL of your WooCommerce store
- Consumer Key
- Consumer Secret
These credentials enable secure communication between your platform and WooCommerce via the REST API.
✅ Step 1: Get Your WooCommerce Base URL
Your Base URL is the main domain of your WooCommerce store.
Example:
https://yourstore.com✅ Step 2: Enable WooCommerce REST API
Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active on your WordPress site.
To verify:
- Log in to your WordPress admin:
https://yourstore.com/wp-admin - Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins
- Confirm that WooCommerce is listed and activated.
✅ Step 3: Generate API Credentials
3.1 Navigate to the API Settings Page
If you don’t see an “Advanced” tab in WooCommerce:
- Open the following URL directly:
https://yourstore.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=advanced§ion=keysReplaceyourstore.comwith your actual domain.
3.2 Add a New API Key
- Click “Add Key”
