Getting Started

This workflow is for WooCommerce merchants and engineering teams ready to make their catalog agent-ready with governance and auditability.

Prerequisites

Your roadmap to AI-first commerce

1

WooCommerce REST API enabled over HTTPS

Ensure your WooCommerce REST API is enabled and accessible via HTTPS with proper SSL certificates.

2

API key with least-privilege read scope

Generate WooCommerce API keys with read permissions (or read_write if needed for specific workflows).

3

Pretty permalinks enabled

Enable pretty permalinks in WordPress (Settings > Permalinks) for clean, crawlable URLs.

4

Base URL confirmed

Confirm your store's primary domain (with or without www) is consistent across all configurations.

5

Sitemaps or URL list available

Have your sitemap.xml ready or a list of key product and category URLs for URL Intelligence discovery.

6

Policy URLs ready

Prepare links to your shipping, returns, and terms pages for policy ingestion.

Setup Steps

1

Generate WooCommerce API keys

Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API > Add Key. Use read scope for security. Store your consumer key and consumer secret securely. Your API base URL will be: https://yourstore.com/wp-json/wc/v3

2

Connect to eLLMo

Provide your base REST endpoint and credentials (read scope) in the eLLMo dashboard. Optional: set IP allowlist for eLLMo's ingestion. Ingest products, variations, categories, and key settings (currency, tax, shipping).

3

Enable URL Intelligence

Provide sitemap.xml or URL seeds (category, collection, PDP URLs). Define allowed paths and canonical rules to guide agent citations.

4

Configure policies

Shipping, returns, membership terms, and promos are ingested to enforce brand-safe answers and checkout logic.

5

Extraction, normalization, and verification

eLLMo Product Intelligence extracts identity, composition, specs, pricing, availability, and ratings. Two-tier verification (extraction + deep HTML verification) with confidence scoring ensures accuracy.

6

Optional: Add webhooks for faster deltas

Create WooCommerce webhooks (e.g., product.updated) to notify eLLMo of changes for near real-time sync.

7

Deploy protocols and channels

Toggle protocol distribution (UCP, ACP, MCP, A2A) in the eLLMo console. Confirm channel readiness: ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Perplexity, and feeds.

8

Validate with AEO and SOAV dashboards

Track citations and mentions, and visibility trends across agents. Investigate product-level Agentic Commerce Scores and iterate with Content Intelligence.

cURL example: Read products (Basic Auth over HTTPS)

curl -X GET "https://yourstore.com/wp-json/wc/v3/products?per_page=50&page=1" \
  -u ck_your_consumer_key:cs_your_consumer_secret \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Node.js (fetch) example

const url = "https://yourstore.com/wp-json/wc/v3/products?per_page=50&page=1";
const auth = Buffer.from("ck_your_consumer_key:cs_your_consumer_secret").toString("base64");

fetch(url, { headers: { Authorization: `Basic ${auth}` } })
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(products => console.log(products));

Webhook creation example

curl -X POST "https://yourstore.com/wp-json/wc/v3/webhooks" \
  -u ck:cs \
