WooCommerce Connection Error
What to Check
1. Your Protocol
Check if your WooCommerce store URL uses an HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Depending on your server configuration, you might need to test both protocols to see which one functions optimally.
2. Your SSL Certificate
In case of SSL certificate issues, please consult your server administrator or the individual responsible for SSL setup to diagnose and resolve the problems. Additionally, you can utilize this SSL Checker to diagnose issues with your SSL certificate installation.
WooCommerce Plugin Status Disconnected
What to Check
1. Security Plugins
If you have activated security plugins like Sucuri, Wordfence, or MalCare on WordPress, consider temporarily disabling them. This can allow Gist to connect with your WooCommerce store. Alternatively, you can whitelist the Gist for WooCommerce plugin directory if you're using Sucuri.
WooCommerce API Misconfigured
What to Check
1. WooCommerce Rest API
Ensure that the "Enable the REST API" box is checked in the WooCommerce plugin of your Wordpress account. Click to enable and save settings.
2. Permalinks
Ensure that your permalinks are configured correctly. All options except "Plain" permalinks will work with this integration.
3. .htaccess File
Confirm that your .htaccess file in WordPress does not include default WordPress rewrite rules. You might need to consult a server admin or someone experienced in maintaining or troubleshooting your web server configuration if issues persist.
WooCommerce Plugin Not Detected
What to Check
1. WooCommerce Plugin Status
Check to see if the WooCommerce WordPress plugin is installed and enabled in your WordPress account.
Invalid WooCommerce URL
What to Check
1. Store URL
Ensure that the store URL used to set up the Deep Data integration doesn't include "/shop" at the end. The correct format should be: https://my-store.com. Incorrect format: https://my-store.com/shop.
