FAQ

How do I configure the API for a product?

  1. Edit the product in WooCommerce
  2. Find « External API Integration » meta box (below product data)
  3. Check « Enable API Integration for this product »
  4. Enter your API endpoint URL
  5. Configure authentication and custom fields
  6. Use the « Test API » button to verify

What triggers the API call?

The API is called when:
* Order status changes to « Completed »
* Payment is completed (WooCommerce payment_complete hook)
* Subscription becomes active (if WooCommerce Subscriptions installed)

How do I use variables in my JSON?

Variables must be in quotes:
{
"email": "{{email}}",
"amount": "{{total}}"
}

NOT like this (will cause JSON error):
{
"email": {{email}}
}

Can I send different data for different products?

Yes! Each product has its own API configuration. You can send completely different data for each product.

How do I debug if the API isn’t working?

  1. Enable logging in Settings WooCommerce External API
  2. Test using the « Test API Connection » button
  3. Check the Logs tab to see exactly what was sent
  4. Verify the API response
