How to Update the Go People Shipping Method Plugin After Changing Your WooCommerce Site Domain

If your WooCommerce site’s domain has changed, the Go People Shipping Method plugin must be properly uninstalled and reinstalled. However, simply removing the plugin from the GoPeople Members Area may not be enough — especially if the domain has already changed, as GoPeople can no longer communicate with the old site to complete the removal.

In this case, you’ll need to manually delete the associated REST API credentials and Webhooks in WooCommerce to fully disconnect the plugin before reinstalling it under the new domain.

🔧 When Does This Apply?

This process is necessary if:

• You've already changed your WooCommerce site domain

• You tried to uninstall the Go People plugin via the GoPeople Members Area

• But WooCommerce still shows the plugin as "connected" or synced

🧾 Steps to Manually Remove the Plugin from WooCommerce

1️⃣ Delete the REST API Credentials

1. Log in to your WooCommerce Admin Dashboard

2. Navigate to:
   WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API

3. Find the API Key titled:
   “Go People Shipping Method - API Read/Write”

4. Click “Revoke” to deactivate it

✅ This breaks the API connection with the old domain

2️⃣ Delete the Webhooks

1. In the same section, go to:
   WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Webhooks

2. Look for these three Webhooks:

   • GO_PEOPLE_SHIPPING_METHOD_ORDER_CREATED

   • GO_PEOPLE_SHIPPING_METHOD_ORDER_UPDATED

   • GO_PEOPLE_SHIPPING_METHOD_ORDER_DELETED

3. Click “Delete permanently” for each

🧹 These Webhooks sync order events. Deleting them finalises the plugin removal.

✅ What to Do After Cleanup

Once the REST API and Webhooks have been removed:

• Go to your new site and install the Go People Shipping Method plugin again

• Reconnect it using the GoPeople Members Area

• Complete the configuration as you normally would

❓ FAQ

Q: What happens if I don’t delete the REST API and Webhooks?
A: GoPeople will still try to interact with your old site, which may prevent new installations or cause order sync issues.

Q: Do I need to re-authorise on the new domain?
A: Yes. A fresh installation and authorisation are required after a domain change.
