Tutorial: Placing an order using the Store API
While looking into a Store API related GitHub issue, I decided to create a brief tutorial on how to place an order using the Store API when using WooCommerce Blocks. This tutorial uses a REST client for the examples. The screenshots are from Insomnia, but you can also use other REST clients like Postman if you want.

These requests use different methods to perform specific actions: • GET: Fetch information from the server.• POST:…

WooCommerce Vulnerability Reintroduced from 7.0.1
Background Last year we were alerted to a security issue (thanks to David Anderson) that would potentially allow users with specific capabilities (and, by default, this would include the Shop Manager role) to view user data for all users.
