I am opening a woocommerce store pretty soon and I was looking through a various drop shipping/fulfilment on demand services. One of them offers their services through an API and there is some documentation on it, and how to run a test if it works correctly on my end but no information on how to “install” it on my store.

I can send you the link to the service and their documentation page - just don’t want to do it here not to doxx myself 😄

What is API and how do I use it?

Many thanks

    API = Application Programming Interface

    It is to be used by programming code in your store.

    Usually the documentation on API is the main thing needed for the developer to integrate the service into your store (token, password, etc will be provided depending on their security).

    Some services provide example code. If your service is popular enough there will be third party woocommerce plugin that will integrate the service to your store.
