Build Data Flows from WooCommerce to SQL Server using SSIS

Using SQL Server as a backup for critical business data provides an essential safety net against loss. Backing up data to SQL Server enables business users to more easily connect that data with features like reporting, analytics, and more.

This example demonstrates how to use the CData SSIS Tasks for WooCommerce inside of a SQL Server SSIS workflow to transfer WooCommerce data into a Microsoft SQL Server database.

Add the Components

To get started, add a new WooCommerce source and SQL Server ADO.NET destination to a new data flow task.

Create a New Connection Manager

Follow the steps below to save WooCommerce connection properties in a connection manager.

1. In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
2. In the Connection Manager type menu, select WooCommerce. The CData WooCommerce Connection Manager is displayed.
3. Configure 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.

Configure the WooCommerce Source

Follow the steps below to specify the query to be used to extract WooCommerce data.

1. Double-click the WooCommerce source to open the source component editor.
2. In the Connection Manager menu, select the connection manager previously created.
3. Specify the query to use for the data extraction. For example:

   SELECT ParentId, Total FROM Orders WHERE ParentId = '3'
   

   👁 The SQL query to retrieve records. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
4. Close the WooCommerce Source control and connect it to the ADO.NET Destination.

Configure the SQL Server Destination

Follow the steps below to specify the SQL server table to load the WooCommerce data into.

1. Open the ADO.NET Destination and add a New Connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "table or view".
3. In the Table Or View menu, select the table or view to populate.
4. Configure any properties you wish to on the Mappings screen. 👁 The mappings from the SSIS source component to SQL Server. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

Run the Project

You can now run the project. After the SSIS Task has finished executing, your database will be populated with WooCommerce data.
