Which steps you should follow depends on which version of WooCommerce you're using. If you're unsure which version you're using, you can find the version under WooCommerce > System Status in your WordPress installation. For version 2.4 and up follow step 1a, for earlier versions please follow step 1b.

1a) WooCommerce - Version 2.4+

To get started, go to 'WooCommerce' and click 'Settings'.

Go to the tab Advanced and select the sub-tab REST API. In the sub-tab click the "Add Key" button. For the description we recommend you fill out "Channable" and for the permissions select "Read/Write". After you have filled in these details, click on "Generate API key".

Now that keys have been generated, you should see two keys and a new checkbox in place of the 'Generate API Key' checkbox. These are your Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, and a Revoke API Key checkbox. There is also a box to control the level of access for this API key, set this to Read/Write access.

Now choose 'WooCommerce' and fill out the name field as well as the URL of your webshop and the key and secret you have previously generated (and written down).

Important! Remove the "/" at the end of your WooCommerce URL!
For example "http://channable.com" instead of "http://channable.com/".

Finally, select which WooCommerce version you're using. Now click 'Create', select the new connection and click continue.
