Obtaining WooCommerce Credentials
As part of the setup process, you must obtain credentials from your WooCommerce that will grant CSM the necessary permission to access relevant WooCommerce records. These credentials are assigned to corresponding sales channels in Business Central.
The WooCommerce REST API works on a key system to control access. These keys are linked to WordPress users on your website.
- Log in to your WooCommerce Admin Portal
- Go to: WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST
- Select Add Key. You are taken to the Key Details screen.
- Add a description
- Select the User for whom you want to generate a key in the dropdown
- Select a level of access for this API key — Read access, Write access, or Read/Write access
- Select Generate API Key, and WooCommerce creates API keys for that user
Now that keys have been generated, you should see Consumer Key and Consumer Secret keys, a QR Code, and a Revoke API Key button. Copy these to a secure location for use during the setup of your sales channel.
