Build Data Flows from SQL Server to WooCommerce through SSIS

SQL Server databases are commonly used to store enterprise records. It is often necessary to move this data to other locations. The CData SSIS Task for WooCommerce allows you to easily transfer WooCommerce data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to WooCommerce.

Add Source and Destination Components

To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new WooCommerce Destination control to the data flow task.

Configure the ADO.NET Source

Follow the steps below to specify properties required to connect to the SQL Server instance.

1. Open the ADO.NET Source and add a new connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "Table or view" and select the table or view to export into WooCommerce.
3. Close the ADO NET Source wizard and connect it to the destination component.

Create a New Connection Manager for WooCommerce

Follow the steps below to set required connection properties in the Connection Manager.

1. Create a new connection manager: In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
2. Select CData WooCommerce Connection Manager in the menu.
3. Configure the connection properties.

   WooCommerce supports the following authentication methods: one-legged OAuth1.0 Authentication and standard OAuth2.0 Authentication.

   Connecting using one-legged OAuth 1.0 Authentication

   Specify the following properties (NOTE: the below credentials are generated from WooCommerce settings page and should not be confused with the credentials generated by using WordPress OAuth2.0 plugin):

   • ConsumerKey
   • ConsumerSecret

   Connecting using WordPress OAuth 2.0 Authentication

   After having configured the

   • OAuthClientId
   • OAuthClientSecret
   • CallbackURL
   • InitiateOAuth - Set this to either GETANDREFRESH or REFRESH

   In either case, set the Url property to the URL of the WooCommerce instance.

In the destination component Connection Manager, define mappings from the SQL Server source table into the WooCommerce destination table and the action you want to perform on the WooCommerce data. In this article, you will insert Orders entities to WooCommerce.

1. Double-click the WooCommerce destination to open the destination component editor.
2. In the Connection Managers tab, select the connection manager previously created.
3. In the Use a Table, menu, select Orders. In the Action menu, select Insert. 👁 The destination table and action to be performed.
   
4. On the Column Mappings tab, configure the mappings from the input columns to the destination columns. 👁 The mappings from the SQL Server source to the SSIS destination component.
