Connect a WooCommerce store

You’ll need:

• A WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and activated.
• An administrator account on that WordPress site (you’ll be authorizing API access).
• The ability to install plugins on your WordPress site.

1. Install the CataSEO connector plugin on your WordPress site (from the WordPress plugin directory or by uploading the plugin zip from your CataSEO dashboard).
2. Activate the plugin.

When prompted, you’ll be sent through WooCommerce’s built-in REST API authorization flow:

1. Click the Authorize button shown by the plugin.
2. Review the permissions and approve.

CataSEO requests read and write access to your products through the WooCommerce REST API. That’s the minimum needed to fetch existing product copy and write optimized copy back after you approve it. CataSEO does not access customers, orders, or payments.

After authorization, CataSEO imports your WooCommerce product catalog. You can start setting up your SEO profile while the sync runs.

• “Pairing key invalid or expired” — pairing keys expire after a short window. Restart the install from your CataSEO dashboard to generate a fresh key.
• “Connection times out” — your WordPress site must be reachable from the public internet. Sites behind authentication walls, IP allowlists, or staging password protection won’t work.
• “WooCommerce not detected” — make sure WooCommerce is installed and activated, not just present in plugins.
