When using our WooCommerce integration, we fetch your products through WooCommerce's API. In order for us to access your products, we'll need API-access with an API-key. Here is how you create an API-key for us to use.

  1. Log in to your Wordpress webshop

  2. Navigate to the settings page under WooCommerce in the left sidebar

  3. Go to the API tab

  4. Click the "Add key" to create a new API key. Make sure the API is enabled as long as you use our WooCommerce Integration.

Now a form will appear where you'll have to enter a description, user and permissions. We recommend entering Feedr as the description. Then select the owner of the API-key and set the permissions to read/write. We'll need both read and write permission to...

  1. Read all products in the webshop

  2. To create webhooks that notify us when any products are created, updated and deleted. We'll create three different webhook events:

    • Product.updated - For events when a product is updated

    • Product.deleted - For events when a product is deleted
