# WooCommerce Submission Method

 * I am attempting to setup a parts catalog with WooCommerce. I need to know what
   submission method Woocommerce uses so I can give this piece of information to
   the third party catalog provider. The question is whether or not it’s a GET, 
   POST or AJAX method that is used. I cannot find this in the WooCommerce documentation.
 * Since it’s a add to cart functionality I am aiming for, I would think it’s not
   a GET method that would allow to add parts to a cart for checkout. Rather it’s
   a GET or AJAX, but not certain which it is or how the WooCommerce cart really
   works.
 * Can you help me, thank you.

 * Trying to understand WooCommerce basics for developing. The cart passes information
   but I am not sure if it uses POST method or other.

 * Hey there!
 * WooCommerce can use AJAX to add to cart, but by default it uses a POST to add
   to the cart. There’s a setting in the WooCommerce settings to have it use AJAX
   or not.
 * Hopefully that helps! Have a great one!
