Troubleshooting Authentication with CoCart

    curl --request POST \
        --url https://localhost/wp-json/cocart/v2/login \
        --header "Authorization: Basic " + btoa('username:password')
        --header "Content-Type: application/json"

    curl --request POST \
        --url https://localhost/wp-json/cocart/v2/login \
        --header "Authorization: Basic " + btoa('username:password')
        --header "Content-Type: application/json"

Issue with authenticating in general?

You may need to add this to your .htaccess file in the parent folder where your WordPress installation is. Once added, restart the server and authentication should work.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
</IfModule>

Basic authentication not working?

How can I authenticate as a customer?

CoCart supports all standard and additional support for identifying ways to login.

Username + Password
Email + Password
Billing Phone Number + Password

How you choose to allow your customers to login is up to you.

Should the customer forget the username they created or what was assigned when registering as a customer, using their email address instead is good alternative.

    curl --request POST \
        --url https://localhost/wp-json/cocart/v2/login \
        --header "Authorization: Basic " + btoa('username:password')
        --header "Content-Type: application/json"

Not possible to use authentication headers, alternative?

If it is not be possible to authenticate the right way using the headers, you can authenticate the user via URL.

wp-json/cocart/v2/login?username=sebastien@domain.com&password=password
