OptiQube reads your WooCommerce products over its REST API. You need a key with read permission, which you create in WordPress.

## Create the key in WordPress

1. In WordPress, open **WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API**.
2. Add a key with **Read** permission.
3. Copy the **consumer key** and the **consumer secret**.

> **Watch out:** WooCommerce shows the consumer secret only once. Copy it before you leave the page.

## Connect it in OptiQube

1. Click the store name in the top-left corner → **Connections** → **Connect catalog**.
2. Under **Where do your products live?**, choose **WooCommerce**.
3. Fill in **Shop URL**, **Consumer key** and **Consumer secret**.
4. Click **Connect shop**.
5. If OptiQube asks **Use one of your feed slots?**, confirm.

## What OptiQube reads

Published products. They are read again on their own: every hour if the store has an active campaign or a live product group, otherwise once a day.

> **Done when:** your products show up under **Products** in the sidebar.
