Enhances your store\u2019s REST API by adding powerful, flexible endpoints.\nStay tuned more are coming!<\/p>\n\n
Add or Remove a Single Category<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Easily append or remove one category at a time\u2014by numeric ID or slug\u2014using simple POST\/PUT\/PATCH or DELETE requests to\n \/wp-json\/wc\/v3\/products\/{product_id}\/categories\/{identifier}<\/p>\n\n Batch Manage Multiple Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n In a single call, add or remove multiple categories at once via JSON payloads to\n \/wp-json\/wc\/v3\/products\/{product_id}\/categories\nSupply an array of IDs or slugs under the \u201ccategories\u201d key to update your product\u2019s category list in bulk.<\/p>\n\n Automatic Slug Resolution<\/strong>\nPass slugs like \u201csummer-collection\u201d \u2014 or non-Latin slugs such as \u201c\u03b1\u03bd\u03b4\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac\u201d \u2014 and the plugin will resolve them to the correct WooCommerce term IDs on the fly\u2014no extra lookups required.<\/p>\n\n Non-Destructive Updates<\/strong>\nNeither endpoint touches other product data. Categories are merged or pruned transparently without overwriting prices, stock, attributes, or any other fields.<\/p>\n\n Plays Well With WooCommerce<\/strong>\nChanges are saved through the WooCommerce product API, so product caches are refreshed, Built-In Validation & Security<\/p>\n\n Sanitization of all inputs (IDs and slugs) to guard against bad data; the batch payload is validated against a schema.<\/p>\n\n Permission checks mirror WooCommerce core: only users allowed to edit the product (Shop Manager, Admin) can modify its categories.<\/p>\n\n Clear, standardized error codes (w3s_api_extension_invalid_product and w3s_api_extension_invalid_product_category) for consistent API responses. Unknown category IDs and slugs both return 404.<\/p>\n\n W3S API Extension for WooCommerce installs alongside the core WooCommerce REST API, requires no additional configuration, and works out of the box.<\/p>\n\n Product Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Extra notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\nwoocommerce_update_product<\/code> runs, product.updated<\/code> webhooks fire, and the store\u2019s default category is applied if a product is left without one.<\/p>\n\nEndpoints Documentation<\/h3>\n\n
