08FAQFAQ
Store owners usually ask about WordPress, other platforms, other AI tools, chatbots and running several stores before they connect. Then come 2 fixes, for numbers that don't match WooCommerce and a store Claude can't reach.
Is there a WordPress MCP for Claude?
Yes. The WordPress MCP Adapter turns WordPress abilities into MCP tools, and WooCommerce's own MCP is built on it. However, it's for developers working on their own site. Porter brings store data to Claude instead: sales reports, orders, refunds, coupons and stock, with nothing installed.
Is there a Shopify MCP for Claude?
Yes. Porter's Shopify connector for Claude works the same way, so one MCP URL covers both platforms. If you sell on both, connect both stores in Porter and Claude puts their sales side by side in one table.
Does it work in ChatGPT and Claude Code?
Yes. The WooCommerce connector works in ChatGPT and Claude Code, with the same Porter account and connected stores. One store connected in Porter feeds every Porter destination, so you never reconnect it for each AI tool.
Does this add a Claude chatbot to my store?
No. Porter connects your WooCommerce data to your own Claude account, so you can ask questions and make changes from the chat. Shoppers never see Claude, since nothing is added to your storefront, theme or checkout. Instead, Claude answers only you and your team.
Can I connect several stores?
Yes. Each WooCommerce store is its own account in Porter, so it's billed as one store. Claude then compares them in one table with the store as a column. Agencies also keep every client store under one Porter subscription and ask one question across all of them.
Troubleshooting
Why don't Claude's numbers match WooCommerce?
WooCommerce Analytics leaves out pending payment, cancelled and failed orders by default and dates sales by Date Paid (WooCommerce's Analytics settings guide). Porter, however, reads the REST sales report, which counts processing, on-hold and completed orders. Older orders need Import Historical Data, Analytics may need Clear Analytics Cache, and Claude should use site-timezone dates rather than GMT.
Why can't Claude reach my store?
Before anything else, check that the site runs on HTTPS with pretty permalinks. Make sure Cloudflare, Wordfence, Sucuri or your host isn't blocking /wp-json/wc/v3/, and that the REST API key still exists. If the key was revoked, create a new one and reconnect the store in Porter.
