Using Caches

khungate edited this page Jul 25, 2023 · 4 revisions

Welcome to the guide on Using Caches in the MailChimp for WooCommerce Integration. This guide will help you understand how to configure your caching plugins appropriately to ensure the most current numbers are displayed on your dashboard.

Overview

Caching and the Overview Screen

The "overview" screen of the plugin makes calls to the WP REST API to show you stats on how your sync is progressing. If you're using a caching system, you might see zeros across the board on your stats. This is by design. Your cache is returning the "last result" it had saved to speed up your site in other areas.

Configuring Caching Plugins

Steps

In most caching plugins, you'll have the ability to exclude a route path. If you configure something like mailchimp-for-woocommerce/*, that should bypass the cached value and grab the most current numbers for your dashboard.

To see the progress in real-time, you should not cache the REST API for routes beginning with mailchimp-for-woocommerce.
