Do I need to install a plugin?

No. WooCommerce's REST API is part of WooCommerce, so a key made in its settings is the whole connection. Nothing is added to your theme, your plugins or your database.

Which WooCommerce versions work?

Any version with the REST API at wc/v3, which is every current release. We test on WooCommerce 11. If yours does not connect, tell us the version.

Is it free to connect?

Yes. ManteIQ itself starts with a 30-day trial without a card; plans are on the pricing page.

Can ManteIQ change anything in my shop?

No. The key is made with the Read permission, and ManteIQ only ever sends read requests. WooCommerce itself refuses writes from a Read key.

What customer data is read?

Order lines, amounts, statuses, shipping methods and countries. Of the customer, the email and the country: the email only to tell a first order from a repeat one, and it is replaced by an irreversible hash before anything is stored. Names, addresses and phone numbers are not kept.

How is the key protected?

The secret is encrypted before it is stored and is never shown again. Each request is signed with it, so the secret itself does not travel. Revoke the key in WooCommerce at any time and the reads stop at once.

Which orders count as a sale?

Processing, On hold and Completed, the statuses WooCommerce's own reports count. Cancelled, refunded, failed and pending orders are shown and not summed. A status added by a plugin counts until you say otherwise, and you can overrule any status in ManteIQ.

Is anything missing compared with other platforms?

Two things WooCommerce does not expose to a REST key, so ManteIQ does not show them: abandoned carts, because WooCommerce keeps no cart records a key can read, and what a product cost you. Shops that use several currencies through a plugin are not converted.

What if my shop is behind Cloudflare or a security plugin?

ManteIQ reads the shop over the web, so a firewall or a plugin that switches the REST API off has to let it through. A challenge page reads exactly like a refused key; ManteIQ names the vendor when it can and shows the allow rule to add.

Will reading the shop slow it down?

Reads come in pages of 100 orders every two hours, two requests at a time, which is gentle enough for shared hosting. The first history pull is the biggest read and runs once.

Delete the key under WooCommerce, Settings, Advanced, REST API: the reads stop at once. Disconnect in ManteIQ destroys the key stored on our side, and deleting your ManteIQ account removes the stored data too.

Do you support PrestaShop, OpenCart or Shopify?

PrestaShop and OpenCart, yes, each with its own read-only connection. Shopify is next in line.

“The consumer key or consumer secret is wrong, or the key was revoked”

One of the two values was copied in part, or the key was deleted in WooCommerce. WooCommerce shows the secret only once, so make a new key with the Read permission and paste both values again under Sources.

“WordPress's REST API didn't answer”

Check the address: enter it exactly as it loads in a browser, like https://your-shop.com, without /wp-json at the end. If your shop redirects www to non-www, or the other way round, use the address it ends on. Then check that no security plugin has switched the REST API off.

“WordPress answered, but WooCommerce's API isn't there”

WooCommerce is not installed, not active or out of date. Activate or update it and try again.

“Your shop answered with a page instead of data”

A maintenance or coming-soon plugin, a login page or a security check in front of the REST API answered in place of WooCommerce. Pause it, or allow ManteIQ through, then try again.

“The key can't read” one of the resources

The user behind the key cannot read what ManteIQ asks for. Make the key for an Administrator or Shop manager account, with the Read permission.

“Your shop's server clock is more than 15 minutes off”

Requests are signed with the time, and your server rejects a signature that old. Fix the server time, then run Sync now.

01A key, not a login

ManteIQ never asks for your WordPress password. It asks for a key that can only read.

WooCommerce has a REST API built in, and its keys carry one permission: Read, Write, or both. You make a Read key, so the most ManteIQ can do with it is look.

	Your WordPress login	A Read REST API key
Can see orders and products	Yes	Yes
Can change prices, stock or orders	Yes	No, the key is Read only
Can open your WordPress admin	Yes	No
Can be switched off without touching your own login	No	Yes, revoke it under WooCommerce, Settings, Advanced

02Setup guide

Connect WooCommerce in four steps.

About a minute: three steps in your WordPress admin, one in ManteIQ.

01
Open the REST API page
In your WordPress admin, open WooCommerce, then Settings, then the Advanced tab, then REST API. Click Add key.
WooCommerce › Settings › Advanced › REST API
02
Make a Read key
Set Description to ManteIQ, pick an administrator or shop manager as the user, and set Permissions to Read. Click Generate API key.
Permissions › Read
03
Copy both values
WooCommerce shows the Consumer key and the Consumer secret once. Copy both before you close the page; if you lose the secret, make a new key.
ck_… and cs_…
04
Paste them into ManteIQ
Paste the key, the secret and your shop address under Sources. ManteIQ tests the key before it saves it. The first read fetches sixteen months of orders, and your first briefing lands the next morning.
