Overview
This plugin is designed to restore the functionality of the Legacy REST API in WooCommerce 9.0 and later versions, following its removal from the core software. It allows users to continue utilizing the same endpoints and user keys as they did in WooCommerce 8.9 and earlier, effectively mirroring the older Legacy REST API settings. When installed with WooCommerce 9.0 or newer, it reactivates the removed API capabilities seamlessly, while being safe to use with WooCommerce 8.9 or older without conflict. However, it’s important to note that the Legacy REST API is not compatible with High-Performance Order Storage, and users are advised to upgrade their code to the current WooCommerce REST API for optimal performance and future compatibility.
Restores Legacy REST API Functionality
- Restores the full functionality of the removed Legacy REST API code in WooCommerce 9.0 and later versions.
- Equivalent to enabling the Legacy REST API in WooCommerce 8.9 and older versions.
Seamless Integration
- All the endpoints work the same way as they did in older versions.
- Existing user keys continue working without any changes.
Backward Compatibility
- Safe to install with WooCommerce 8.9 or older versions.
- The plugin detects the presence of the Legacy REST API and doesn’t initialize itself to avoid interference.
Compatibility Note
- Not compatible with High-Performance Order Storage.
- Upgrading the code to use the current WooCommerce REST API is highly recommended.

For some reason our clean install of woocommerce has the legacy rest api enabled and greyed out.
Installing this plugin does not give us an option to turn off the api!
Anyone got a solution on how to turn off the legacy rest api?

Installed in order to use Stripe, but despite jumping through many hoops, I still don’t have Stripe as an option? I wasted an afternoon for nothing.

Forced plugin install (not even an advisory notice) and either the auto updated WC 9.0 or the v1.0.4 plugin update crashed my client site. Critical error. I have rolled back to WC 8.9.3 and plugin v.1.0.3 to get the site back following advice at https://wordify.com/blog/woocommerce-9-0-0-update-class-wc_legacy_api-not-found/
