Show products overview on another multisite blog (without WooCommerce activated)

Howdy!

I’m not aware of a way to show the shortcodes on the main site without activating WooCommerce, but if you decide to go that route, this option should work for you:

Thanks @dynamiczach, will have a look at it tonight.

In the meantime I’ve also started to look into the WooCommerce REST API v3 but it breaks on the first use line :/

<?php

function shortcode_wooproducts_REST_API( $args = [] )
{
    // Normalize attribute keys, lowercase
    $args = array_change_key_case( (array)$args, CASE_LOWER );

    // Merge supplied $args with default $args (override defaults) 
    $args = shortcode_atts([
      'status' => 'publish',
      'stock_status' => 'instock',
    ], $args);

    require_once( WP_PLUGIN_DIR ."/woocommerce/vendor/autoload.php" ); //require_once( __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php' );
    use Automattic\WooCommerce\Client;
    
    $woocommerce = new Client(
        'https://domain.tld/blog2',
        'ck_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', // consumer key
        'cs_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', // consumer secret
        [
            'wp_api' => true,
            'version' => 'wc/v3',
            'query_string_auth' => true // Force Basic Authentication as query string true and using under HTTPS
        ]
    );

    use Automattic\WooCommerce\HttpClient\HttpClientException;
    
    try {
        $results = $woocommerce->get( 'products', $args );
        echo '<pre><code>' . print_r( $results, true ) . '</code><pre>'; // JSON output
    } catch (HttpClientException $e) {
        echo '<pre><code>' . print_r( $e->getMessage(), true ) . '</code><pre>'; // Error message.
        echo '<pre><code>' . print_r( $e->getRequest(), true ) . '</code><pre>'; // Last request data.
        echo '<pre><code>' . print_r( $e->getResponse(), true ) . '</code><pre>'; // Last response data.
    }    
}

function shortcode_wooproducts_REST_API_init()
{
    ## https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57372608/shortcode-doesnt-work-when-im-getting-content-from-wp-rest-api-call

    add_shortcode('wooproducts_REST_API', 'shortcode_wooproducts_REST_API');
}
add_action('init', 'shortcode_wooproducts_REST_API_init');

Error message:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'use' (T_USE) in /home/***/domain.tld/.../wp-content/themes/child/functions.php on line 19\

Nice!

That’s not something that I’m equipped to help with, but I’ll leave this thread open in the event that someone else can.

If you get stuck and don’t have any other replies here, there is an Advanced WooCommerce Facebook Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/ and our WooCommerce Slack Community here: https://woocommerceslack.herokuapp.com/ and someone in one of those may be able to help.

We can shake hands, it’s not my cup of tea either. In fact – it’s my first time dealing with a REST API ever ??
