WooCommerce connection

Introduction

A WooCommerce connection, created using the WooCommerce connector, establishes access to WooCommerce. Once a connection is configured, you can create instances of WooCommerce activities associated with that connection to be used either as sources (to provide data in an operation) or as targets (to consume data in an operation).

Note

This connector supports the Enable Re-authentication on Change organization policy. If enabled, a change to the Host, Connection Type, or Consumer Key in this connection requires users to re-enter the Consumer Secret for the connection.

Create or edit a WooCommerce connection

A new WooCommerce connection is created using the WooCommerce connector from one of these locations:

An existing WooCommerce connection can be edited from these locations:

Configure a WooCommerce connection

Each user interface element of the WooCommerce connection configuration screen is described below.

Tip

Fields with a variable icon support using global variables, project variables, and Jitterbit variables. Begin either by typing an open square bracket [ into the field or by clicking the variable icon to display a list of the existing variables to choose from.

  • Connection Name: Enter a name to use to identify the connection. The name must be unique for each WooCommerce connection and must not contain forward slashes / or colons :. This name is also used to identify the WooCommerce endpoint, which refers to both a specific connection and its activities.

  • Host: Enter the host name of the WooCommerce server in either of these formats:

    • 1.1.1.111/wordpress

    • example.host.com

  • Connection Type: Select the connection type, one of HTTPS or HTTP.

  • Consumer Key: Enter the consumer key (generated in the WordPress admin interface).

  • Consumer Secret: Enter the consumer secret (generated in the WordPress admin interface).

  • Use Proxy Settings (Private Agent Only): When using a private agent, this setting can be selected to use private agent proxy settings.

  • Test: Click to verify the connection using the provided configuration. When the connection is tested, the latest version of the connector is downloaded by the agent(s) in the agent group associated with the current environment. This connector supports suspending the download of the latest connector version by using the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy.

  • Save Changes: Click to save and close the connection configuration.

  • Discard Changes: After making changes to a new or existing configuration, click to close the configuration without saving. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

  • Delete: After opening an existing connection configuration, click to permanently delete the connection from the project and close the configuration (see Component dependencies, deletion, and removal). A message asks you to confirm that you want to delete the connection.

Next steps

After a WooCommerce connection has been created, you place an activity type on the design canvas to create activity instances to be used either as sources (to provide data in an operation) or as targets (to consume data in an operation).

Menu actions for a connection and its activity types are accessible from the project pane and design component palette. For details, see Actions menus in Connector basics.

These activity types are available:

  • Query: Queries object data from WooCommerce and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

  • Create: Creates object data in WooCommerce and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Update: Updates object data in WooCommerce and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Delete: Deletes object data from WooCommerce and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.
