Setting Up of WooCommerce Mobile App

WooCommerce Mobile App enables you to monitor your sales, view and edit your orders, product details, stock status, price, etc. To keep you updated with your eCommerce store’s whereabouts, the app sends live notifications on the go. This app is free for both Android & iOS users.

In this article, we will discuss in detail how you can set up your WooCommerce Mobile App & get started with it.



Connect WooCommerce mobile app to your store

To connect your WooCommerce store with our WooCommerce mobile app, you will need API credentials from your WooCommerce API settings. If you don’t have these credentials, refer to the steps below:

To create or manage keys for a specific WordPress user, move to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Rest API > Create an API Key

A Consumer key, Consumer secret, and a QR code will be generated for the user, as shown in the screenshot below:

API Keys

You can enter your credentials in either of the following two ways:

  • Entering API credentials manually: If you are accessing your WooCommerce site from your mobile device, copy the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret keys and paste them into the respective textbox options within your app.
  • Scan QR Code: Another way is to simply scan the QR code from your PC and the respective API keys will be automatically copied to your app.

Once the credentials are entered, click Sign In.
