Perfect for setting up a headless woocommerce backend
Very good!
by fomigo·2 years ago
Very good plugin, it helped me to connect Laravel catalog (for PageSpeed Insights, you know) & Woocommerce cart/checkout processing. Brilliant!
Perfect. And so much potential!

since woocommerce is not offering product/cart api, this tools fits right in. you can do everything with it, all via api calls: products, variations, cart, shipping, checkout. (you might need the paid version as well. i bought them, so not sure, what comes out of the box and what features all need the extra mile. but still: worth it!) and the support is fast, too, thanks to seb. love it.
