 * I’m working with a Woocommerce install and I want to have a remote .NET server
   create coupons on our web store on command.
 * To this end, I’m trying to set up a PhP web service that will create a coupon
   programmatically. I’ve got the basic framework set up, but I’m not sure how to
   call Woocommerce from a listener script. Can I just make woocommerce calls? Or
   do I have to import wordpress somehow?
 * Sorry if this is a noob question, I haven’t really done any php programming directly.

 * The WordPress framework is independent of WooCommerce. The tutorials you’re looking
   for are called something like “call woocommerce functions outside the loop” or
   outside of WordPress.
 * Side note: all three letters in PHP are capitalized because it is a (recursive)
   acronym. It stands for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor” (hence the recursiveness).
   PhP sounds like a fake doctorate someone got from studying pickle theory.

 * Thanks for the tip, I’ve been able to get the script to run.
