Optional: Use REST API Log for Debugging

For setup and testing, you can optionally install the free REST API Log plugin. It logs all incoming and outgoing REST API calls to and from WooCommerce.

  • After installing, go to Tools > REST API Log to view logs.

  • Note that this plugin is not required for the connector to function.
