  We are using wordpress with e-commerce plan.
  To access the wordpress api we require oauth2 authentication (https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/oauth2/).
  To access the woocommerce api we require the consumer key and consumer secret (https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/?shell#authentication).
  Is there anything we can do to access the woocommerce api using the wordpress oauth process?

  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there! Just to check, what was the intended aim of accessing the WooCommerce API using the OAuth process of the WordPress.com REST API in particular? I should note that this is separate from the WordPress REST API, which has documentation here:
  https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/

  As noted in the documents you linked, you would still need the WooCommerce REST API consumer key and secret. The WordPress.com REST API in particular doesn’t include WooCommerce functions, so I’m not entirely certain whether it would be possible to use the WordPress.com OAuth method with the WooCommerce API.
