The WordPress Application Password method is recommended and works for all WordPress websites, including WooCommerce. The WooCommerce REST API method is applicable only to WooCommerce websites. [**Connect with WordPress Application-Password support**](https://docs.appmysite.com/app/connectivity/wordpress-connectivity/grant-access/wp-application-password) WordPress Application Passwords enable website owners to generate a unique token to authorize a REST API request. Using Application Passwords, you can authorize third-party applications to make REST API requests from your website. You can connect your WordPress website with the app using Application Password support. {% hint style="warning" %} To avoid connectivity issues, we recommend establishing connectivity using the WordPress Application Password. {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %} The following points highlight how to connect your website and app with WordPress Application Passwords: * Login to your WordPress website’s admin panel. * Navigate to Users >Profile from the side menu. Scroll down to the **Application Passwords** section. * Enter a name for your application password in the **New Application Password Name** field and click on Add New Application Password button. * Copy your admin account’s username and the newly generated application password. {% hint style="warning" %} To achieve connectivity between your website and app, it is mandatory that you have administrator access. {% endhint %} Once you have the application password, return to your AppMySite account and navigate to [**Connectivity > Grant Acess**](https://app.appmysite.com/app/connect/wp-grant-access). Follow the steps below: * Turn on the WordPress toggle on the Grant Access screen. * Paste your website’s administrator username and the application password generated earlier. * Click on Verify. If it is unsuccessful, visit the Troubleshooting screen to diagnose and fix your connectivity issues. Using an application password to connect your website and app is essential for enabling login and signup support for blog and CMS page website types, supporting custom post taxonomy, and more. {% hint style="warning" %} Application Password support is available for the AppMySite WP plugin with code version 3.0.0 and higher. Update your AppMySite WP plugin to the latest version to use application password support. {% endhint %} [**Connect with WooCommerce REST API Keys**](https://docs.appmysite.com/app/connectivity/wordpress-connectivity/grant-access/woocommerce-rest-api) Generate WooCommerce REST API keys and submit them in the connectivity section of your app to connect your online store and app. However, it is recommended you establish connectivity using WordPress Application Passwords. Visit this guide to learn more: {% embed url="" %} * Login to the admin panel of your WordPress website. * Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings from the side menu. * Select the Advanced tab on the WooCommerce settings screen. * Now, click on the REST API tab and then on the Add key button. Fill out the following details: * Description: Enter a friendly name for easy identification. * User: Select the administrator of the website. * Permission: Choose **Read/Write** from the drop-down menu. * You will find the generated REST API keys. Copy the Consumer key and Consumer secret, return them to your AppMySite account and paste them into the relevant fields. * Click Verify. {% hint style="warning" %} The WooCommerce plugin on your WordPress website must be updated to the latest version while generating REST API keys. You may not be able to achieve connectivity if an older version of the WooCommerce plugin is installed on your website. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
