The WishList Member API is a powerful way to customize the WishList Member plugin. It allows for automation to be set up which really opens up the playing field in terms of what you can do with your membership site. There are 3 main ways to connect to the WishList Member API and the tutorial below runs through those methods.
- An Internal Request (using the API within a site running WishList Member)
- An External Request (working in a WordPress site and wanting to connect to another WordPress site with WishList Member installed.)
- A Request to connect the WishList Member API to an external site from a non-WishList Member/WordPress site.
