Is woocommerce capable of using the "get Requests" function?

  • Hey,

    I’m trying to implement woocommerce on a website wich is using an iframed search form from an external site. The site is an online book-store (www.buchhandel.de).

    They are able to integrate their search form with different shop-systems (wich ones they don’t say) and say that the only thing needed is the shop to be able to use the “get Requests” function.

    My question is if woocommerce is capable of that?
    If so they are asking for the path of the script wich has the cart function. I’m looking for that .php file in the hope to make this work.

    Thx in advance,
    Phil

  • Sounds to me like their developer needs to see the Rest API documentation:
    https://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/

    This will show them how to communicate with your shop by using suitable query string. The path they request is given in the Schema paragraph here:
    https://woothemes.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/

    For your part, you will need to go to Admin page > WooCommerce > Settings > General and check the box for “Enable the REST API”. You must enable pretty permalinks, as default permalinks will not work.

    hey thx very much for the info.

    Well i have the feeling they don’t really care because it seems to work with other shops somehow…

    Anyways, I couldn’t enable the REST API because the option simply isn’t there (I’ve installed the wordpress on a server). That’s why i installed Jetpack. The only option it gives me is to enable “JSON-API” – Is that correct?

    *EDIT* enable REST API is an option in woocommerce itself wich is turned on.

    Other then that I’ve added the path “/wc-api/v2” as given from the rest-api-docs page you’ve posted to their site.

    They are also asking for the URL of the shopping cart .php file. I’m not quite sure but on the website it only displays me “www.mydomain.de/cart/”.
    I actually don’t know if this is enough or if they really need the .php file – if so, do you know where i can find it?

    So basically they request the following:

    The Shopping-Cart adress: which i have added as “www.mydomain.de/cart/”
    The Host: which i have added as “www.mydomain.de”
    Scriptpath: which i have added as “/wc-api/v2”

    Still it’s not working and I don’t know if it maybe has to do with the shopping cart .php file not exactly being added or that i can’t enable the REST-API. Or maybe something else is not correct yet ..

    thx again for the help and i’m looking forward to your reply!

    I don’t think the cart.php page is any good for this purpose. Its not intended to take external requests and, like most WordPress pages, it has a code line at the top to prevent it being accessed directly.

    I think you need to talk to their technical team. It looks like a big company and they must be linking to lots of WordPress sites already. I’m sorry I can’t help with the detail of linking. This must come from their technical team.
