Getting connection keys from WooCommerce

There are multiple settings to check in WooCommerce so we can connect to Ordoro.

  1. WooCommerce version
  2. Permalinks settings
  3. Generate Consumer Key and Secret

Checking WooCommerce version

1. Log in to your WordPress site. For example, yourstore.com/wp-admin.

2. Verify which WooCommerce version you’re on.

  • Ordoro’s integration with WooCommerce will only work with version 3.5 or above.

To view your version, go to WooCommerce -> Status.

The version is shown as WooCommerce Version.

1. Go to WordPress -> Settings -> Permalinks.

2. Check that Permalinks are NOT set to Plain. You can select any other version.
