You can use the built-in WordPress REST API to import products into WooCommerce. WooCommerce extends the WordPress REST API with its own specific endpoints, allowing you to create, read, update, and delete products programmatically. Here's how you can do this:
Enable the WordPress REST API: Ensure that the WordPress REST API is enabled on your site. It is enabled by default in recent WordPress versions.
Authentication: To use the REST API, especially for writing data such as importing products, you'll need to authenticate. You can use one of the following methods:
Basic Authentication: This is simpler for development purposes but not recommended for production due to security concerns unless used over HTTPS. OAuth Authentication: More secure and suitable for production environments. Understand WooCommerce REST API Endpoints: WooCommerce adds several endpoints to the WordPress REST API for handling products. The endpoint for products typically looks like this: /wp-json/wc/v3/products.
