WooCommerce Legacy REST API
WooCommerce Legacy REST API is not compatible with Simply Static. Its core visitor-facing functionality requires live WordPress and cannot be made static-compatible by upgrading to Simply Static Pro or Static Studio.
About this Plugin
The Legacy REST API will no longer part of WooCommerce as of version 9.0. This plugin restores the full functionality of the removed Legacy REST API code in WooCommerce 9.0 and later versions.
Static WordPress Challenge
This plugin depends on live, request-time WordPress/PHP functionality such as sessions, authenticated visitors, or dynamic endpoints. Its core visitor-facing features do not work on a static WordPress site. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio changes that compatibility verdict. Use a separate hosted, headless, or external service if the plugin's use case offers one.
