How to connect WooCommerce: step by step

You need: admin access to your WordPress site. Connecting needs Starter or above. Applying a price to your store needs Premium or above.

Step 1. Create the API key in WordPress

1. 1Log in to your WordPress admin.
2. 2Open WooCommerce, then Settings, then Advanced, then REST API.
3. 3Click Add key.
4. 4Description: type CostCal Pro. User: choose your admin user. Permissions: choose Read/Write.
5. 5Click Generate API key.
6. 6Keep this page open. It shows the Consumer key (starts with ck_) and Consumer secret (starts with cs_) only once.

Step 2. Paste it into CostCal Pro

1. 1In CostCal Pro open the Stores tab and choose WooCommerce.
2. 2Store address: type the address your customers visit, for example https://yourstore.com. Your own domain or a subdomain both work.
3. 3Paste the Consumer key and the Consumer secret.
4. 4Click Connect store. We test the connection straight away.

If it does not connect

• The address must start with https and must open in a browser from outside your network.
• Permalinks must not be set to Plain. Set them to Post name under Settings, Permalinks.
• A security plugin or firewall may block the REST API. Allow requests to /wp-json/wc/v3.
