Critical flows within the WooCommerce Core API

In our documentation, we’ve pinpointed the essential user flows within the WooCommerce Core API. These flows serve as the compass for our testing initiatives, aiding us in concentrating our efforts where they matter most. They also provide invaluable insights into assessing the ramifications of modifications and determining issue priorities.

It’s important to note that these flows remain dynamic, evolving in lockstep with the platform. They regularly undergo updates, additions, and re-prioritization to stay aligned with the evolving needs of our system.
