Pre-Install Step 4: Verify API Key and Webhooks
Introduction
During Fast Seller onboarding with WooCommerce, your WooCommerce store should be automatically provisioned with an API key and typically three order webhooks (for when an order is created, updated, or deleted). However three similar product webhooks are not typically automatically provided. Before proceeding with installation of the Fast Checkout for WooCommerce plugin, you should first verify the setup of both your API key and webhooks.

Webhooks that were not added to your profile automatically can be manually added at any time.
Verify API Key
WordPress Admin Access Required
You must have WordPress admin access to view and edit WooCommerce store settings.
Your WordPress store admin portal URL will normally look like this:
https://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin
To confirm that the API key exists for your WooCommerce platform integration:
-
Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API
There should be a Fast key with both Read and Write permissions.

Verify Existing Webhooks
To view existing webhooks:
-
Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Webhooks
- You should see three Order and three Product webhooks listed.
- If all of these webhooks are not present, you can add the missing webhooks.
