WooCommerce API - Obtaining Credentials
API Credentials are the conduit for communications between Business Central and WooCommerce.
WooCommerce is a plugin for WordPress. We will setup an API Key for your WooCommerce/WordPress account and then bring those credentials into Business Central.
- Log in to your WooCommerce Admin Portal (WordPress Admin)
- Example: For our demo site, this would be https://csmwoo.com/wp-admin/
- From the left side navigation, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API Keys
- Select the Add key button and you will be taken to the Key details screen, which should look like this:

- Add in your API Description
- Select the User who will be the owner of this API Key; this may be for yourself if you are managing the account.
- Select the Permissions for this API Key; for CSM to work as intended, select Read/Write access
- Select the Add key button and you will be taken to the Key details screen, which should look like this:
- Select Generate API key and WooCommerce will create and display your API keys
- You will see a Consumer key and a Consumer secret
- Copy these credentials to a secure location as we will be using them in the next step
