How to Create Customers for WooCommerce REST API ?

Creating customers for WooCommerce via the REST API is a useful feature that allows developers to automate the process of adding new customers to their WooCommerce store programmatically. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

1 Obtain WooCommerce REST API credentials:

Before you can start using the WooCommerce REST API, you need to generate API credentials from your WooCommerce store. To do this, log in to your WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API. Create a new API key, specifying the access level and permissions you want to grant to the API.

2 Set up your API environment:

You can interact with the WooCommerce REST API using any programming language that can make HTTP requests. In this example, we’ll use Python’s requests library. If you’re using a different language, the general concepts will still apply.

2 Make a POST request to create a customer:

To create a new customer, you’ll need to send a POST request to the WooCommerce API endpoint responsible for handling customer data. The endpoint URL will typically look like this:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/wc/v3/customers
