How to connect your Woocommerce store to Zenstores

In this guide were going to be covering how to connect your WordPress Woocommerce store to your Zenstores account.

A few notes before we continue:

• You must be using Woocommerce version 2.2 or newer
• The REST API and pretty permalinks must both be enabled (don't worry  if you don't know what this means I'll cover it later)
• Woocommerce orders will only import into Zenstores if they have a status of processing
  
• If you have any domain redirects (http to https for example) please make sure that you use your actual end domain in step 12.
• If you are using any cache system such as varnish please ensure you disable the caching system for the woocommerce REST API endpoints.

Step by step guide:

1. First of all fill in the name of your store

2. Then open a new tab and log in to your WordPress admin (http://www.mystore.com/wp-admin)

3. Then check which version of Woocommerce you are using. From your dashboard hover of  Woocommerce  and then click on System status.

4. This will load up a System status  page, just have a look and check that your version of Woocommerce is higher than 2.2. If it isn't then you will either need to update your plugin to a version higher than 2.2 or talk to your site developer for advice on how to do this.

5. Next check that you have pretty permalinks enabled, hover over Settings  and click Permalinks 

6. On the Permalinks  page, for Zenstores to work you can have any permalink option selected other than the default  one(changed to plain  in the most recent update). So please make sure you select or have selected one of the following: Day and name, Month and name, Numeric or Post name

7. Now we need to enable the Woocommerce REST API, first of all hover over Woocommerce  and click Settings 

8. From the Woocommerce settings screen click the API  tab, and then make sure Enable the REST API  is ticked, if it isn't, tick it and click Save changes 

9. Now to get your Keys  for copying and pasting into your Zenstores connection form. Firstly click the Keys/Apps  link that is in between Settings  and Webhooks 

10. Then click Add key

11. Next fill in the New Key form, the Description  can be anything of your choosing (although I would suggest to have Zenstores in there for later reference), then select a user, making sure they have Administrator privileges  and finally select Read/write  from the permissions drop down. Then once you have finished with the form simply click Generate API Key. 

11. You can now copy your Consumer key  and Consumer secret  into the relevant fields in your Zenstores form.

Please note: don't close this page without copying your keys over otherwise you will have to start again.

From WordPress copy these Keys

In Zenstores paste the keys into these boxes

12. Then finally put the web address of your shop into the Url  box at the bottom and click Save

Shortly after you click save  your Woocommerce orders should start appearing in your Zenstores account.
