CoCart’s developer-friendly API empowers you to build in modern frameworks like Astro, React, Vue, or Next.js, putting full control back in your hands and making complex customizations a breeze.
Built by developers, for developers, CoCart is more than just an API extension. It’s a suite of tools that make managing a headless WooCommerce store seamless and fast—without the constraints of a traditional WordPress theme.
Why WooCommerce?
WooCommerce provides a flexible, and efficient way to build cutting-edge stores with WordPress at it’s core. If you are looking to provide a great store for your customers that is fast, decoupling your store is a no brainer, but accessing the front side via the REST API was missing which is where CoCart comes in.

- Source of Truth – CoCart integrates with WooCommerce’s Data Stores API and includes WooCommerce hooks, making it compatible with most WooCommerce extensions right out of the box.
- Session Control Without Cookies – CoCart uses a secure session key system, reducing server load and avoiding cookie issues for a smoother experience.
- Easy Authentication – No need for Admin API Keys — customers can log in multiple ways with options like username+password, email+password or phone number+password.

- Efficient Product Search – Search by product name, ID or SKU, filter products quickly without compromising privacy.
- Real-Time Cart Validation – Enjoy up-to-date cart accuracy with automatic stock checks, total calculations, and fee adjustments.

সঘনাই উত্থাপিত প্ৰশ্ন
-
What does CoCart do?
-
CoCart provides a REST API that is ready to decouple WooCommerce away from WordPress. It allows you to search products by Name, ID or SKU, filter and return product data you need without authentication, manage cart sessions for customers and avoids the hassle of needing multiple requests to verify item and coupon validity in your cart. It also efficiently checks stock, calculates totals and fees, ensuring real-time accuracy so your responses return up to date every time.
CoCart sources the WooCommerce’s Data Stores API and repeats most WooCommerce hooks to provide a wider array of support for most WooCommerce extensions out of the box.
-
Who should use CoCart?
-
Pretty much everyone, who wants a faster ecommerce store to improve their business. WooCommerce runs multiple requests for multiple steps. We avoid the hassle of needing multiple requests for these steps and process them all together.
CoCart is perfect for ecommerce owners and developers who want to create an ecommerce app for mobile or a custom frontend shopping experience completely using the REST API.
-
Are there any limitations?
-
CoCart is designed with developers in mind allowing for complete control to customize or add support for a plugin to work with CoCart. CoCart does it’s best to work out of the box but if there is a compatibility issue with a plugin that you would like to work with CoCart. We would be happy to hear about it.
-
What is the source of truth?
-
CoCart sources the WooCommerce’s Data Stores API and repeats most WooCommerce hooks to provide a wider array of support for most WooCommerce extensions out of the box.
-
Does CoCart work for multi-site network?
-
Yes. Just install CoCart and activate it on the sites you want to use CoCart.
-
Can I have WordPress running on one domain and my headless ecommerce on another domain?
-
Absolutely. That is what CoCart is mainly developed for. You just need to enable CORS. You can do that easily with the CORS add-on or you can manually enable it via the filters available in the documentation.
-
Will CoCart interfere with other plugins?
-
The majority of plugins are not REST API specific so it shouldn’t. However, while we allow the source of truth for compatibility, there maybe a WooCommerce extension that returns data via an action hook that the REST API cannot understand during a specific action and may fail the response.
If that does happen, simply report the situation with as much detail as possible on our GitHub repository and we will try our best to find a solution.
-
How do I set up CoCart?
-
You will first need WooCommerce installed and set up to your configurations. Then install CoCart, activate and your ready to start using the REST API following the API Reference provided.
Please check the requirements listed in the installation section.
-
Why use CoCart and not WooCommerce’s Store API?
-
WooCommerce’s Store API is designed for the Gutenberg blocks which only requires a fixed format and is still prone to be used on native storefronts. It also lacks validation on the server end which you will need and not every extensions yet works with it out of the box. A lot of valuable information and abilities that developers require to help them are also unavailable and if you try to use the Store API for headless you will have issues managing the cart sessions.
CoCart’s API is designed for decoupling away from WordPress with ease. It’s a plug and play solution that just works out of the box. Also, improvements are always made to CoCart to ensure you get the best decoupled experience.
-
Do I need to have coding skills to use CoCart?
-
As this plugin provides a REST API built for developers, you will need to have some coding knowledge to use it.
-
Where can I find documentation for CoCart?
-
You can find the documentation here.
-
Can I change the formatting of values, add and change details to the responses?
-
You certainly can. There are over 100+ filters available to customize to your needs.
-
Why does CoCart use a custom session handler and table in the database?
-
If you’re familiar with WooCommerce, you may be wondering why using a custom session handler at all instead of the WooCommerce default session handler? A number of reasons but the ones that really matter are.
- The default session handler only supports cookies.
- The default session handler only saves changes at the end of the request in the
shutdown
hook. - The default session handler has no support for concurrent requests.
- The default session handler does not support guest customers.
- The default session handler does not store additional data that maybe required to help you.
- The default session handler does not allow support for POS capability.
- More consistent with modern web.
-
Is “WooCommerce Shipping and Tax” plugin supported?
-
No. “WooCommerce Shipping and Tax” ignores any custom REST API’s from allowing the ability to calculate the taxes from TaxJar except for WooCommerce Blocks and JetPack. We don’t recommend it. However, TaxJar for WooCommerce plugin is supported.
-
Is “TaxJar for WooCommerce” plugin supported?
-
If you have “TaxJar for WooCommerce” v3.2.5 or above and CoCart v3.0 or above installed… then yes, it is supported.
-
Can I use any modern stack?
-
Yes you can use your preferred tools and favorite modern technologies like Astro ,NextJS, React, Vue, Ember and more giving you endless flexibility and customization.
-
Can I install/update CoCart via Composer?
-
Yes. The best method would be to install/update CoCart from the GitHub repository but you can also do so via https://wpackagist.org/
-
Where can I report bugs?
-
Report bugs on the CoCart GitHub repository. You can also notify us via the Discord community server in the #bug-report channel – be sure to search the forum to confirm that the error has not already been reported.
-
CoCart is awesome! Can I contribute?
-
Yes, you can! Join in on our GitHub repository and follow the development blog to stay up-to-date with everything happening in the project.
-
Is CoCart translatable?
-
Yes! CoCart is deployed with full translation and localization support via the ‘cart-rest-api-for-woocommerce’ text-domain.
-
Where can I get help or talk other users about CoCart core?
-
If you get stuck, you can ask for help in the CoCart support forum or join the CoCart Community on Discord where you will find like minded developers who help each other out. If you are in need of priority support, it will be provided by purchasing CoCart Plus or a higher tier.

It appears that the rules of hidden and private meta is not respected and is still exposed on products that have such meta. This security patch ignores any meta data that is still leaking publicly without authorization.

Security Patch
Just a note: The security issue isn’t directly related to CoCart itself, but we’re here to help keep your store secure. Since CoCart is a public API, security patches will be released as soon as possible to prevent the issue from affecting your site, so you don’t have to wait for a fix from the plugin causing it.
We recommend updating to this version if you’re using any WooCommerce plugins that might reveal public information.
We want you to know that we would never publicly name a plugin with a security concern. However, if you notice any security issues with CoCart or another plugin connected to it, please report the security vulnerability so we can address it quickly.
Thank you for helping us keep CoCart safe for everyone!
v4.3.8 – 7th November 2024

v4.3.2 – 19th July, 2024
🌋 Hot Fix
This release fixes 3 known issues that were reported. issue #425, issue #426, issue #427 that has been affected since version 4.2 of CoCart.
It was due to the optimizations made to allow CoCart to perform better. Unfortunately it had some unexpected side affects that were not picked up during testing. For that I am sorry. If you haven’t rolled back to before 4.2 then this patch is highly recommended.
Previous patch releases will also be updated to prevent further sites from experiencing these issues for those who like to update to specific version of the plugin.
A hard lesson was learned here and hope you haven’t lost trust in the plugin. I appreciate your feedback and support during this process.
Please don’t forget to backup your site before updating.
Corrections
- Plugin: Typo caused the WP-CLI commands to not register and crash when used with composer.
- REST API: The data exception class was oddly not loading when updating an item. Autoloader was not picking it up. Now it is required.
- REST API: Cart would empty but the subtotal would not reset.
Improvements
- REST API: Ensure we have calculated totals before we get an item or update an item so we can identify them.
v4.3.0 – 17th July, 2024
What’s New?
In this release we have added a plugin update prevention system as a safety measure. For the moment it will detect for compatibility with minor releases while we are making adjustments but it’s designed mostly for detecting major changes. All CoCart add-ons that we release will now check for CoCart’s requirements and will help you decide to update or not until your ready to do so.
- Plugin: Added plugin headers to be used for detecting CoCart add-ons or plugins that support CoCart.
- WordPress Dashboard: Auto-updates are disabled should a CoCart add-on active have not tested with the latest release available.
- WordPress Dashboard: Update now link for CoCart opens up a modal listing none tested plugins with a confirmation.

For Developers

Compatibility
- Tested with WordPress v6.6
- Tested with WooCommerce v9.1
v4.2.2 – 12th July, 2024
Reverting
We are reverting a change for destroying a session. Previous change causes a conflict with identifying the correct column with our session table and causes the cart not to clear.
v4.2.1 – 11th July, 2024
Hot Fix
When loading a cart from session a deprecated function was still triggered. It’s now been removed to prevent failing.
v4.2.0 – 11th July, 2024
In this release we have optimized our session handler making this release more compatibility with third party plugins. We also no longer use cookies as a backup for headless. This should also help with the confusion of needing to pass along the session cookie or reading the cookie to extract the cart key and help with user switching much better. A cart key is provided in both the cart response and returned headers. Saving the cart key in your own cookie or local storage is fairly straight forward.
We advise that you update on staging or local to check if you have used any of our experimental functions and filters that were added to the session handler to see if any have been deprecated. You can also see the list of deprecations below. If you have any questions about this update please contact us.

and the currency symbol will now return based on the set currency without lookup. - REST API: Improved headers returned and added nocache headers on authenticated requests.

Developer note: This release requires the quantity parameter to pass the value as a string for both adding items or updating items. If you are not new to CoCart then please update your code to account for this change.

Bug Fixes

Access-Control-Allow-Credentials
being outputted as 1 instead of true. Solves issue 410. Thanks to @SebastianLamprecht for reporting it. - REST API: Update cart requests no longer fails and continues to the next item if an item in cart no longer exists.
- REST API: Products API schema has been completed for v1.
- REST API: Products API schema has been corrected for v2.
- WordPress Dashboard: Plugin suggestions now lists CoCart JWT Authentication add-on.
Improvements
- REST API: Now checks if the request is a preflight request.
- REST API: Error responses are now softer to prevent fatal networking when a request fails.
- REST API: Callback for cart update now passes the cart controller class so we don’t have to call it a new.
- REST API: Cart schema tweaks.
- REST API: Cart and Product schema are now cached for performance.
- Plugin: Added more inline documentation for action hooks and filters.
- Plugin: Improved database queries.
- Plugin: Updated to latest WordPress Code Standards.
- WordPress Dashboard: Added CoCart add-on auto updates watcher.
- WP-CLI: Updating CoCart via command will now remove update database notice.
Developers
- REST API: Two new headers return for cart responses only.
CoCart-API-Cart-Expiring
andCoCart-API-Cart-Expiration
.
These two new headers can help developers use the timestamps of the cart in session for when it is going to expire and how long until it does expire completely.
- REST API: Error tracking is returned with the error responses when
WP_DEBUG
is set to true to help with any debugging. - REST API: Class aliases have been added to API v2 controllers after changing the class names for consistency.
