Everything included in the WooCommerce integration

A direct REST API integration — no middleware, no plugins, no complexity.

Simple API Key Setup

Generate a Consumer Key and Secret in your WooCommerce settings and paste into Image SEO System. Connection is validated instantly — no technical knowledge required.

AES-256 Encrypted Credentials

Your Consumer Key and Secret are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being stored. They're never logged in plaintext and can be revoked from your settings anytime.

Simple & Variable Products

Full support for all WooCommerce product types: simple products, variable products with all variants, and their associated images and gallery media.

Any Hosting Provider

Works with any self-hosted WooCommerce installation regardless of hosting: shared hosting, VPS, managed WordPress (Kinsta, WP Engine), or dedicated servers.

Direct API Updates

When you apply alt-text, Image SEO System calls the WooCommerce Products REST API to update image metadata directly. No plugin required on your WordPress site.

Multi-Store Support

Connect multiple WooCommerce stores (Pro: 3 stores, Agency: 10 stores) and manage all of them from a single Image SEO System dashboard with separate scan histories.

WooCommerce integration FAQ

Do I need to install a WordPress plugin?
No. Image SEO System connects directly to the WooCommerce REST API using your Consumer Key and Secret. No plugin is required on your WordPress site. It works with the built-in WooCommerce REST API that's already available on any WooCommerce installation.
What WooCommerce version is required?
Image SEO System requires WooCommerce 3.5+ for REST API v3 support. This covers the vast majority of active WooCommerce installations. If you're running an older version, we recommend updating WooCommerce.
Does it work on shared hosting?
Yes. Image SEO System works with any hosting provider that supports WordPress, including shared hosting plans (SiteGround, Bluehost, etc.), managed WordPress hosts (WP Engine, Kinsta), VPS, and dedicated servers.
How are my API credentials secured?
Your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret are encrypted with AES-256-GCM immediately upon entry — before they're ever written to our database. The encryption key is stored separately from the data. Even if our database were compromised, your credentials would be unreadable.
Does Image SEO System support variable products?
Yes. Image SEO System fetches and processes all images for variable products, including the main product image, gallery images, and variation-specific images. All variant images are processed during the scan.
Can I process only specific products?
Currently, Image SEO System scans your entire product catalog. You can then selectively apply alt-text to specific images or categories from the Image Library using filters. Selective scan by category is on our roadmap.
