What is WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is an open-source ecommerce plugin for WordPress that provides secure payments, configurable shipping options, and more.

How to connect your WooCommerce account to Zoho Flow

1. Select the required trigger or action. If you select a trigger, click Next.
2. If there are no existing WooCommerce connections in your account, click Connect. Otherwise, click New.
   Alternatively, you can create a new connection by navigating to Settings, then Connections. Click Create connection and choose WooCommerce.
   
3. Enter a connection name.

You will need Consumer key, Consumer secret, and Base URL of your WordPress website to proceed.

Finding the Base URL of your WordPress website

1. In a new browser tab, log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Navigate to WP Admin dashboard > Settings > General > Site address (URL).
3. Copy the URL and paste it in the Base URL field in Zoho Flow.

Note: If the displayed site address starts with "http:// " instead of "https://", it means that your WordPress account is running on a local server. In that case, Zoho Flow connection will not work.

Finding the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret

1. Return to your WP Admin dashboard.
2. Navigate to WooCommerce in the left panel > Settings > Advanced > REST API.
   
3. Click Add key.

5. Select the User, then set Permissions to Read/Write. Then click Generate API key.
   
   Note: Ensure that the selected user has super admin access to provide Read/Write permissions.
