WooCommerce CLI Examples
Full documentation for every command is available using --help. Below are some example commands to show what the CLI can do.
All the examples below use user ID 1 (usually an admin account), but you should replace that with your own user account.
You can also find other examples (without output) by looking at the testing files for our CLI tests.
Each command will have a .feature file. For example, these some payment gateway commands.
