1. Connect to WooCommerce

Save the key and note both the API key and API secret, as you will need them later for the integration.
Setting Pretty Permalinks
To use the WooCommerce API, your WordPress environment must have pretty permalinks enabled.
Go to Settings → Permalinks in WordPress.
Check that the permalink structure is not set to Plain.
If it is already set to something other than Plain, no changes are needed.
If it is set to Plain, choose a different structure from the list (for example, Post name). Confirm this with your website administrator.
