WooCommerce API Setup
Follow this guide to provision WooCommerce REST API credentials so we can keep your Local Leo catalog in sync with your WooCommerce store.
Requirements: Your WordPress site must have permalinks set to a human-readable format (not "Plain") for the REST API to work properly.
Step 1: Access WooCommerce Settings
- Log in to your WordPress Admin panel
- Navigate to "WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API"The page should look like this:
- Click "Add Key" or "Create an API key".
Step 2: Configure API Key Settings
- Enter a Description for the key (e.g., "Local Leo Integration")
- Select the User - choose a WordPress user with appropriate permissions
- Choose Permissions:
- Read - For basic catalog synchronization
- Click "Generate API Key"
Step 3: Save Your API Credentials
After generating the API key, you'll see two important pieces of information:
- Consumer Key - Your API username
- Consumer Secret - Your API password
Important: Copy and save both the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret immediately. The Consumer Secret will not be displayed again for security reasons.
Step 4: Provide Credentials to Local Leo
Once you have your API credentials, you'll need to provide the following information to Local Leo:
- Store URL: Your WooCommerce store URL (e.g.,
https://yourstore.com) - Consumer Key: The consumer key generated in Step 3
- Consumer Secret: The consumer secret generated in Step 3
Security Best Practices:
- API keys are linked to specific user accounts - if you delete the user we will be unable to update your products
- Keep your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret confidential
- You could use a dedicated user account with minimal required permissions
Additional Configuration Notes
- The integration will respect your store's existing privacy and security settings
- You can modify or revoke API access at any time through your WooCommerce settings
