Refer to WooCommerce's REST API documentation for more information about the service.

Using API key

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• A Consumer Key: Created when you generate an API key.
• A Consumer Secret: Created when you generate an API key.
• A WooCommerce URL

To generate an API key and set up your credential:

1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Rest API > Add key.
2. Select Read/Write from the Permissions dropdown.
3. Copy the generated Consumer Key and Consumer Secret and enter them into your n8n credentials.
4. Enter your WordPress site URL as the WooCommerce URL.
5. By default, n8n passes your credential details in the Authorization header. If you need to pass them as query string parameters instead, turn on Include Credentials in Query.

Refer to Generate Keys for more information.

Resolve "Consumer key is missing" error

When you try to connect your credentials, you may receive an error like this: Consumer key is missing.

This occurs when the server can't parse the Authorization header details when authenticating over SSL.

To resolve it, turn on the Include Credentials in Query toggle to pass the consumer key/secret as query string parameters instead and retry the credential.
