Woocommerce connection with REST API

Hi @westmarney,

To connect WooCommerce with your ERP system, you would require an integration plugin which would connect WooCommerce to the ERP system using the WooCommerce REST API.

If no ready-made integration exists already for WooCommerce and your particular ERP system that’s something you would need to have custom developed.

With regards to the WooCommerce REST API, access codes for that can be configured from inside your WooCommerce site by following this documentaiton.

https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/

For the developer level documentation, you can find that located on this site below; this covers authentication and all of the endpoints and parameters which can be accessed using the REST API.

With regards to testing API calls, we have some information on testing API calls using an app called Postman, I’ve referenced that for you below too.

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Getting-started-with-the-REST-API

For importing products that could also be achieved with a CSV file and using the default WooCommerce Product Import functionality.

To update those products via the REST API that would, however, require an integration plugin between both systems.

I hope this helps.

Can i ask you the name of the plugin?

Yes, but for you is better create 4000 product sends from ERP REST API or from csv file? For performance and presumable issue (like timeout error)

For example Woocommerce send to postman and the last one send to ERP and viceversa?
Or ERP can send me directly without client beetween?

Thnak you!

Hey @westmarney,

I’m not aware of any plugins for an ERP system which I could personally recommend. If you’re using a third-party ERP service you could research to see if an existing integration plugin exists for that particular service.

If no plugin is available you would need to develop a custom integration to connect that ERP to the WooCommerce REST API.

That would be something a plugin or custom integration could handle by importing in chunks using a background process.

For example Woocommerce send to postman and the last one send to ERP and vice-versa? Or ERP can send me directly without client beetween?

PostMan would not be involved with an ERP (Enterprise Planning Software) service and any integration would have to be directly between the ERP software API and WooCommerce REST API.

Best!

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. If you have any other questions please feel free to start a new thread.
