WooCommerce uses REST API keys (consumer key and consumer secret) generated from the store's admin panel. For stores running over HTTPS, these keys are passed via HTTP Basic Auth. Truto manages the credential storage and auth flow so your end users can connect their stores without your team handling secrets directly. ### Does WooCommerce support webhooks for real-time data? Yes. WooCommerce supports webhooks for key events like order.created, order.updated, and customer.updated. These can be configured via the API or the store admin, enabling event-driven workflows instead of constant polling. ### How does Truto handle WooCommerce's custom meta_data fields? WooCommerce stores custom fields from third-party WordPress plugins in arbitrary meta_data arrays on products, orders, and customers. Truto's Unified E-Commerce API maps the core commerce fields to a standardized schema, abstracting the complexity of parsing plugin-specific metadata across different merchant configurations. ### What resources does Truto's Unified E-Commerce API cover for WooCommerce? The Unified E-Commerce API provides standardized access to Customers, Orders, and Products. These cover the most common integration patterns including catalog sync, order management, and customer data retrieval. Additional tools can be built on request for more specialized endpoints. ### Are there rate limits on the WooCommerce REST API? WooCommerce itself does not enforce built-in rate limits at the application level, but limits are typically imposed by the merchant's hosting environment (e.g., shared hosting may throttle requests). Truto handles pagination and request management to work reliably across diverse hosting setups. ### Can I both read and write data to WooCommerce through Truto? Yes. WooCommerce's REST API supports full CRUD operations on products, orders, and customers. Through Truto, you can read order data for ingestion, update product stock and pricing, change order statuses, and query customer records — enabling two-way sync workflows.
