Magento WP Rest Module

Magento and WordPress were always the mighty combination as Magento is lacking quality CMS control. Over the years, there were many extensions developed to run Magento inside WordPress and vice versa. However, they were all lacking ability to naturally or easily connect Magento and WordPress and mostly — they were not SEO friendly.

Thanks to the WP Rest API, clean WP-Magento integration if finally possible.

Magento WP Rest module solves problems caused by Magento's feature lacking CMS by integrating WordPress blog through WP Rest Api.
