WooCommerce REST API

How can I generate WooCommerce REST API keys?

You can generate WooCommerce REST API keys and enter them on AppMySite to connect your online store and app. However, it is recommended you establish connectivity using WordPress Application Passwords.

  1. Login to the admin panel of your WordPress website.

  2. Click on WooCommerce and open Settings.

  3. Select the Advanced tab in the WooCommerce settings.

  4. Click on REST API. You will have to select the Add key button and fill out the following details:

  • Description: Enter a friendly name for easy identification.

  • User: Select the administrator of the website.

  • Permission: Select Read/Write from the drop-down menu.

  • Submit: Copy and paste the consumer key and secret from your website.

Note: Enable the Force authentication toggle to transmit your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret in the query string appended to the URL. This is not completely secure and should only be turned on if HTTP Authorisation is disabled on your server.

While generating REST API keys, the WooCommerce plugin must be updated to its latest version. If an older version of the WooCommerce plugin is installed on your website, you may not be able to achieve complete connectivity.
