The MCP server can't create checkouts or orders.\n\n**WooCommerce API + MCP.** Free GPL software with no platform fee or revenue share. Uptime, speed and security depend on each store's host and plugins. No vendor status page.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Saleor API + MCP\n\n1. Pass the channel slug on product and checkout queries. Prices and availability are per channel\n2. Send X-Saleor-API-URL and X-Saleor-Auth-Token on every MCP request, with a token holding MANAGE_PRODUCTS and MANAGE_ORDERS\n3. Read the `errors` array in every mutation payload. A 200 response can still carry a CheckoutErrorCode\n4. Keep queries under the 50,000 complexity cap and 100 items a page, and send at most 4 mutations per request\n5. The 3.24 changelog removes the old dummy payment plugins, so test checkouts should use a payment app\n\n### WooCommerce API + MCP\n\n1. Create a REST key with read permission only for reporting tasks, and send it in the Authorization header, never the URL\n2. Get a Cart-Token with GET /wp-json/wc/store/v1/cart and send it on every cart and checkout call instead of a nonce\n3. Add `_fields=id,name,price` to REST calls to cut response size\n4. Page with per_page up to 100 and stop at X-WP-TotalPages\n5. Product delete only trashes unless you pass force true, so check the trash before assuming it's gone\n\n## Other comparisons with Saleor API + MCP or WooCommerce API + MCP\n\n- [BigCommerce API + MCP vs Saleor API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bigcommerce-vs-saleor.md)\n- [BigCommerce API + MCP vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bigcommerce-vs-woocommerce.md)\n- [Commerce Layer API + MCP vs Saleor API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/commerce-layer-vs-saleor.md)\n- [Commerce Layer API + MCP vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/commerce-layer-vs-woocommerce.md)\n- [Elastic Path API + MCP vs Saleor API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elastic-path-vs-saleor.md)\n- [Elastic Path API + MCP vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elastic-path-vs-woocommerce.md)\n- [Medusa API + MCP vs Saleor API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/medusa-vs-saleor.md)\n- [Medusa API + MCP vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/medusa-vs-woocommerce.md)\n- [Saleor API + MCP vs Shopify API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/saleor-vs-shopify.md)\n- [Saleor API + MCP vs Snipcart API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/saleor-vs-snipcart.md)\n- [Saleor API + MCP vs Swell](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/saleor-vs-swell.md)\n- [Saleor API + MCP vs Vendure](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/saleor-vs-vendure.md)\n- [Shopify API + MCP vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/shopify-vs-woocommerce.md)\n- [Snipcart API + MCP vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/snipcart-vs-woocommerce.md)\n- [Swell vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/swell-vs-woocommerce.md)\n- [Vendure vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/vendure-vs-woocommerce.md)\n",
