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.
WooCommerce Credentials
- 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
WordPress Credentials
WordPress credentials are required for utilizing product image uploads in our CSM application. We need the WordPress Username and WordPress Application Password to fully connect your WooCommerce store to CSM.
You can use the following steps to create a WordPress application password:
- Click on your profile at https://my.wordpress.com/me/account
- On the side, select the Security menu option
- Select Two-Step Authentication, which must be enabled
- Scroll down to the Application passwords section
- Click the Add new application password button
