How to invalidate cache when using REST API?

    We have a developer who is updating product prices via REST API but we are having trouble with the front end displaying the updated prices. If I clear cache they update. Is there a proper way to update the price via REST API so that it automatically invalidates the cache for that product? Thanks!

    Hi @eimpacteric,

    Good question! WooCommerce core doesn’t have a built-in feature for this but searching around I’ve found that most known caching plugins like LiteSpeed Cache or W3 Total Cache have a feature to disable REST API caching. You may want to check further and send the plugin authors any related questions as third-party plugins are not supported on this specific forum.

    Cheers.

    I’m not looking for info regarding REST API caching. What I want is for the actual product page cache to be invalidated after the price is updated via the REST API.

    Hi there,

    The above information is still valid as a WordPress caching plugin might help you clear your product page cache.

    I found this plugin and thread that may be useful for your case.

    I hope this helps and I’m going to close this topic for now. If you have any specific questions on WooCommerce core please feel free to open a new topic.

    Best regards.
