Automated Continuous WooCommerce Replication to MySQL

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

Configure MySQL as a Replication Destination

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

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select MySQL as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to MySQL, set the following:
   • Server: The IP address or domain name of the server you want to connect to.
   • Port: The port where the server is running.
   • User: The username of a user with read/write access to the database.
   • Password: The password of a user with read/write access to the database.
   • Database: The name of the database.
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 Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to 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 MySQL.
