Headless eCommerce with WordPress & WooGraphQL

WP Engine Builders

Although headless eCommerce allows developers to integrate commerce providers like Shopify and Big Commerce with their WordPress data, many developers want to use a headless architecture but still rely on commerce functionality from WordPress using WooCommerce. This can be especially appealing to merchants looking to modernize their frontends without migrating away from WooCommerce.

The WooGraphQL extension for WPGraphQL helps developers build headless eCommerce sites using WooCommerce. Its basic version should support most eCommerce applications, but its recently launched Pro version offers extended support for many popular WooCommerce extensions.

Join this session where the creator of WooGraphQL, Geoff Taylor, joins us to demonstrate how to create a basic eCommerce site using WooGraphQL and Next.js. In this session, we’ll cover the following things:
– Creating a development environment and configuring WooGraphQL settings
– Using WooCommerce sessions with WPGraphQL
– Creating shop and products pages that can add/update/remove products from the cart
– Offloading sessions to WordPress to cart and checkout pages
