| WooCommerce CLI | wc-cli | WooCommerce CLI |
WooCommerce CLI (WC-CLI) offers the ability to manage WooCommerce (WC) via the command-line, using WP CLI. The documentation here covers the version of WC CLI that started shipping in WC 3.0.0 and later.
WC CLI is powered by the WC REST API, meaning most of what is possible with the REST API can also be achieved via the command-line.
If you're looking for documentation on the WC 2.5 and 2.6's CLI go here.
What is WP-CLI?
For those who have never heard before WP-CLI, here's a brief description extracted from the official website.
WP-CLI is a set of command-line tools for managing WordPress installations. You can update plugins, set up multisite installs and much more, without using a web browser.
WooCommerce Commands
A full listing of WC-CLI commands and their accepted arguments can be found on the commands page.
All WooCommerce-related commands are grouped into wp wc command. The available commands (as of WC 3.0) are:
$ wp wc
usage: wp wc customer <command>
or: wp wc customer_download <command>

See 'wp help wc <command>' for more information on a specific command.
Note: When using the commands, you must specify your username or user ID using the --user argument. This is to let the REST API know which user should be used.
You can see more details about the commands using wp help wc or with the --help flag, which explains arguments and subcommands.

Arguments like --context, --fields, --field, --format can be used on any get or list WC CLI command.
The --porcelain argument can be used on any create or update command to just get back the ID of the object, instead of a response.
Updating or creating some fields will require passing JSON. These are fields that contain arrays of information - for example, setting [https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#customer-properties](billing information) using the customer command. This is just passing key/value pairs.
Example:
$ wp wc customer create --email='me@woo.local' --user=1 --billing='{"first_name":"Justin","last_name":"S","company":"Automattic"}' --password='he llo'
Success: Created customer 16.
$ wp wc customer get 16 --user=1

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
I get a 401 error when using commands, what do I do?
If you are getting a 401 error like Error: Sorry, you cannot list resources. {"status":401}, you are trying to use the command unauthenticated. The WooCommerce CLI as of 3.0 requires you to provide a proper user to run the action as. Pass in your user ID using the --user flag.
I am trying to update a list of X, but it's not saving
Some 'lists' are actually objects. For example, if you want to set categories for a product, the REST API expects an array of objects.
To set this you would use JSON like this:
wp wc product create --name='Product Name' --categories='[ { "id" : 21 } ]' --user=admin
