For Zoho services only


I'm currently part of a wider delivery team at Ascent Business Solutions, recognised as a leading Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions support organisations with everything from targeted technical fixes through to full Zoho CRM implementations and long-term platform adoption. Working as a team rather than a one-person consultancy allows projects to move forward consistently, with access to the right skills at each stage.

The team I manage specialises in API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance and commerce platforms such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay. Much of our work involves solving integration challenges that fall outside standard documentation, supporting new ideas, new sectors, and evolving business models.

Success is measured through practical outcomes and return on investment, ranging from scaling small operations into high-turnover businesses to delivering rapid gains through online payments, automation, and streamlined digital workflows.

Zoho Deluge and Wordpress/WooCommerce API: Get All Products

Zoho Deluge and Wordpress/WooCommerce API: Get All Products

What?
A quick article on retrieving all the products from a WooCommerce instance on a client's Wordpress website.

Why?
A client of ours wants the information entered against products in their WooCommerce to display on their estimates in Zoho Books; such as product image, product name, product description.

Granted that in some cases, the design should go in the other direction, as in enter the products in Zoho Inventory and this feeds the website. More than often, however, this request comes in when the customer has already been setting their Zoho environment up and the Wordpress site has the more information.

How?
So first, this article shows you how to setup an API connection, and then we'll include the code to count the total number of products, and then finallly show the code to loop through all the pages to retrieve every product from the WooCommerce system.

API connection in WooCommerce
So we need to get an API connection to ensure we get all the products. This involves getting a consumer_key and a consumer_secret.
  1. Login to the administrator's section of the Wordpress website (mysite.com/wp-admin)
  2. Expand WooCommerce in the left sidebar
  3. Go to Settings (in the menu/sidebar) > Advanced (tab) > REST API (link under the tabs)
  4. Click on the Add key button
  5. Give it a description, assign a user that it will run as (preferably of the admin or account that will never leave the business), and permissions can be "Read".
  6. Click on the "Generate API Key" button
  7. Note the consumer_key and consumer_secret somewhere (these aren't displayed to you in future - so this is your one chance, or else you need to generate another key)

Zoho Deluge
Here's the code to retrieve all the product categories. We need this to get the count of all products (if there's another way, I'd love to hear it). We don't have more than 100 product categories so we'll just to page 1 but specifying 100 per page as the default is only 10.
copyraw 
//
// API keys (these are made up so enter your own in these 2 lines below

for each m_Category in r_Categories.toJSONList()

Additional:
  • Total product count may differ from the actual product count as products can belong to multiple categories. Consider just using the WooCommerce interface to check the total number of products (wp-admin > Products > All Products).
