API06001: Invalid URL Format
What This Means
The URL configured for your WooCommerce site is not in a valid format. URLs must follow standard web address conventions.
Common Causes
- Missing protocol — URL doesn't start with
http://orhttps:// - Typo in URL — Spelling errors in the domain
- Invalid characters — Special characters that aren't allowed in URLs
- Incomplete URL — URL is missing parts like the domain extension
How to Fix
1. Check URL Format
A valid URL should look like:
- ✅
https://yourstore.com - ✅
https://www.yourstore.com - ✅
https://store.yourdomain.com - ❌
yourstore.com(missing protocol) - ❌
https://yourstore(missing extension) - ❌
https://your store.com(contains space)
2. Include the Protocol
Always include https:// or http://:
- Preferred:
https://(secure) - Fallback:
http://(if HTTPS isn't available)
3. Remove Extra Characters
Ensure the URL doesn't have:
- Trailing slashes (optional but be consistent)
- Extra spaces
- Special characters
- URL parameters (unless required)
4. Verify the URL Works
Test the URL in a browser:
- Copy the URL you're using
- Paste it in a browser
- It should load your WordPress site
5. Update POS Configuration
Enter the corrected URL in the POS settings:
- Match exactly what works in your browser
- Include or exclude
www.as your site uses
