How to Find Your WooCommerce API Credentials

Spark Shipping connects to your store using WooCommerce's built-in REST API. You'll need three things: your store's web address, plus a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret that you generate inside the WooCommerce dashboard. The steps below walk you through creating them.

1. Log in to your WooCommerce site as an administrator
   • This is your WordPress admin dashboard, usually found at https://your-store.com/wp-admin
   • You must be logged in as an Administrator to create API keys
2. Open the REST API settings
   • In the left menu, go to WooCommerce → Settings
   • Click the Advanced tab at the top
   • Click REST API
3. Create a new API key
   • Click Add key (or "Create an API key")
   • Description: enter something you'll recognize later, such as "Spark Shipping"
   • User: select an administrator account on your store
   • Permissions: choose Read/Write — Spark Shipping needs to read orders and update inventory and tracking
   • Click Generate API key
4. Copy the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret
   • WooCommerce will now show a Consumer Key (it begins with ck_) and a Consumer Secret (it begins with cs_)
   • Copy both values right away — the Consumer Secret is only shown once. If you navigate away you'll have to generate a new key

Note: Your store must be reachable over a secure HTTPS connection with a valid SSL certificate. WooCommerce API keys created on an HTTP-only site will not work with this integration.
