By following these instructions, you can test each WooCommerce webhooks endpoint in Postman. Each request should include the necessary Authorization header configured through Basic Auth with your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. Adjust the {id} parameter with the actual webhook ID you intend to work with for retrieving, updating, or deleting operations. Adjust the base URL and endpoint as needed based on your WooCommerce store setup and the specific webhooks you want to manage.
