Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CoCart - Headless REST API for WooCommerce
Developers building headless or decoupled WooCommerce storefronts. If you can make HTTP requests and read JSON, you’re ready. No WordPress development experience required — CoCart abstracts the complexity and gives you clean, predictable API responses. Perfect for: Frontend developers building with React, Next.js, Astro, Vue, or any modern framework Agencies creating high-performance client storefronts Mobile app developers who need a reliable eCommerce API
Install WooCommerce and configure your store, then install and activate CoCart. You’re immediately ready to call the API — no additional setup required. Check the installation section for requirements, then follow the API reference to start building.
Nothing. The free community stays fully functional. It covers sessions, authentication, CORS, cart operations, and product queries — everything you need to build a working headless cart. CoCart Plus adds advanced features like coupons, shipping, fees, and rate limiting for when you need them.
No. CoCart runs entirely on your WordPress server. No customer data, cart contents, or store information is ever sent to CoCart’s servers. The plugin collects no analytics without your consent. Full privacy policy →
Plugins that modify backend functionality — payment gateways, shipping, tax, inventory — continue to work. Plugins that only modify the PHP frontend (themes, shortcodes, widgets) won’t apply to the REST API layer, which is expected in a headless setup.
WooCommerce’s Store API can be used headless, but it was designed for the Gutenberg block editor ecosystem. Its session model relies on nonces passed via response headers — suited for anonymous single-session shoppers, but tied to WordPress’s nonce lifecycle and less straightforward to persist across sessions or devices. CoCart is purpose-built for headless: cart sessions identified by a persistent key and authentication that supports any shop requirement.
Headless storefronts are stateless by nature — there’s no browser session to rely on, and concurrent requests are common. CoCart’s session handler is cookie-less, database-stored, and safe for concurrent requests, with full support for both guest and authenticated customers from day one.
Yes — that’s the primary use case CoCart is built for. Enable CORS via the free CORS add-on or manually via the filter documented here.
Yes. CoCart doesn’t block or replace any other API. Once authenticated, your frontend can access CoCart endpoints, WooCommerce endpoints, and any custom endpoints you’ve built — all at the same time.
CoCart does not implement SSO itself — it authenticates customers against WordPress user accounts using Basic Auth or JWT (via add-on). It does not natively speak SAML, OAuth 2.0, or OIDC. That said, CoCart can work alongside SSO in a headless setup. The typical pattern is: Your identity provider (Google, Okta, Auth0, etc.) authenticates the user via your frontend. A WordPress SSO plugin (e.g. one handling OAuth 2.0 or SAML) creates or matches a WordPress user account for that identity. Your frontend then authenticates with CoCart using Basic Auth or JWT as that WordPress user. The SSO layer handles identity; CoCart handles the commerce session from that point on. Whether this works smoothly depends on how your chosen SSO plugin manages WordPress user creation and session state — that part is outside CoCart's scope.
