WooCommerce and Magistry
Connect WooCommerce with a read-only REST API key and Magistry syncs every product and variation into its catalog. Nothing is written back to your shop.
Status: Built, not live yet: no store has connected WooCommerce. The connection is read-only and syncs your catalog; orders and customers are not synced yet.
// what magistry does with it
What exists today
Every product and variation synced into Magistry's catalog.
Sale prices picked up on the next sync; products the shop does not sell are retired, not deleted.
Read-only: a key with Read permission is all it needs.

What moves between WooCommerce and Magistry
SYNCS INTO MAGISTRY
- Every product with its variations, mapped into Magistry's catalog.
- The store's currency; a shop whose currency differs from the Magistry store's is refused before anything is written.
- The shop's weight unit, so variation weights can be converted.
- The price in force now, sale prices included; sale changes are picked up on the next sync.
- Products the shop does not sell (draft, pending, private) are retired from Magistry's catalog, not deleted.
MAGISTRY CAN CHANGE
Nothing. WooCommerce is connect-only: Magistry reads it and writes nothing back.
WHAT IT CANNOT DO
- Change anything in your shop; the connector is read-only.
- Read cost prices; core WooCommerce has none, so a cost entered in Magistry is kept.
- Store scheduled sale windows ahead of time.
- Follow redirects on the shop address; enter the final https address.
// permissions
Permissions Magistry requests
- Read
- A REST API key with Read permission is all Magistry needs.

Does Magistry change my WooCommerce shop?
