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.


Generate Consumer Key and Secret

1a. If running WooCommerce versions 3.5-8.9, then:

  • Go to WooCommerce -> Settings.

  • Click the Advanced tab -> Legacy API header. Select Enable the legacy REST API and Save changes.

1b. If running WooCommerce 9.0 or greater, then:
