While WooCommerce’s REST Api (v2.1+) allows easy integration with your favorite 3rd party services, it also opens the doors for users to access all of your store details including:
- Order Details
- Customer Details
- Product Information
- Coupon Codes
- Store Reports
WooCommerce API Lockdown allows you to restrict what is available through your API on a site wide or per user basis with an easy to use admin panel.
Usage
- Once installed, in your WordPress backend navigate to to ‘WooCommerce’ -> ‘API Lockdown’
- Select any site wide restrictions
- Select any users specific restrictions
- Click update that that’s it!
What Happens when a Restricted User Tries to Gain Access?
If a user tries to access a section they don’t have access to they will simply get a Authentication Error.
