Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable WooCommerce replication to MongoDB.

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live WooCommerce data into your MongoDB instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure MongoDB as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate WooCommerce data to MongoDB. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select MongoDB as a destination.
  3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to MongoDB, set the following:
    • Server: Set this to the name or address of the server where your MongoDB instance is running. You can specify the port here or in Port.
    • Database: Set this to the database you want to read from and write to.

    Connecting to CosmosDB with the MongoDB API

    To obtain the connection string needed to connect to a Cosmos DB account using the MongoDB API, log in to the Azure Portal, select Azure Cosmos DB, and select your account. In the Settings section, click Connection String and set the following values.

    • Server: Set this to the Host value, the FQDN of the server provisioned for your account. You can also specify the port here or in Port.
    • Port: Set this to the port.
    • Database: Set this to the database you want to read from and write to.
    • User: Set this to the database user.
    • Password: Set this to the user's password.

  4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Configure the WooCommerce Connection

You can configure a connection to WooCommerce from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your WooCommerce account, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select a source (WooCommerce).
  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 plugin, you may connect to WooCommerce by providing the following connection properties:

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

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

  4. Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Configure Replication Queries

CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.

Replicate Entire Tables

To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.

Customize Your Replication

You can use the Transform feature to customize your replication. The Transform feature allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. To customize your replication, click the Transform button in the Tables section and customize the replication.

Schedule Your Replication

In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.

Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your WooCommerce data to MongoDB.
