Leaving your site in compatibility mode defeats the point of HPOS, migrate over and get out of compatibility mode as soon as you can, and don’t forget to clean up the legacy data.

Legacy Endpoints

The WooCommerce Legacy REST API endpoints are part of the older version of the WooCommerce API. These endpoints allow developers to interact with a WooCommerce store via HTTP requests. The base URL structure for these endpoints follows a standard pattern:

Version 1 (v1) Legacy API

• Base URL: /wc-api/v1/
• Example URL for Products:
  https://yourstore.com/wc-api/v1/products

Common Endpoints for All Versions:

• Products: /products
• Example: https://yourstore.com/wc-api/v3/products
• Orders: /orders
• Example: https://yourstore.com/wc-api/v2/orders
• Customers: /customers
• Example: https://yourstore.com/wc-api/v3/customers
• Coupons: /coupons
• Example: https://yourstore.com/wc-api/v3/coupons
• Reports: /reports
• Example: https://yourstore.com/wc-api/v3/reports

You can append any of the endpoints like /products, /orders, etc., to the base URL to perform specific actions (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) depending on your requirement.

Note: WooCommerce REST API has moved to a newer version since WooCommerce 3.5, using /wp-json/wc/v3/ format for the current API.
