WooCommerce makes it easy to build and customize your online business, no matter the size. This article will give you an overview of the Grow/WooCommerce integration.
In this article, we will cover:
Connecting to WooCommerce
Before connecting please collect your WooCommerce store URL, Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.
- Click on the Data tab at the top left of the global navigation. Then click on Connections in the Data Library section.
- Click on the blue Connect button, search for WooCommerce, and click on the logo.
- To connect with WooCommerce, you need your store URL, and your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.
- There are a few steps to turn on the WooCommerce API. Which can be found on the WooCommerce article here. We simplified the steps from their article below:
- Turn on the WordPress permalinks on in Settings > Permalinks.
- Enable REST API in WooCommerce > Settings > API tab and tick the Enable REST API checkbox.
- Create your API keys in WooCommerce > Settings > API > Keys/Apps.
- Select Add Key:
- Select the User you would like to generate a key for in the User field and add a Description. Choose the level of access for this API key, which can be Read access, Write access or Read/Write access. Then select the Generate API Key button and WooCommerce will generate API keys for that user.
- Now that keys have been generated, you should see two new keys, a QRCode, and a Revoke API Key button. These two keys are your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.
- Copy your keys, then paste them into Grow.
- When you've done that, press the blue Submit button.
And that is it. You are good to go!
Data Warehousing
WooCommerce is on the Grow Data Warehouse, which we highly recommend you use. For more information about warehousing your data, visit the Data Warehouse Help Article.
Suggested Tables
The following suggested tables are available in Grow. These are toggled on by default when you sync your data for the first time.
- Customers
- Customers (Formatted)
- Customers Metadata
- Orders
- Orders (Formatted)
- Order Line Items
- Order Refunds
- Sales Report
- Sales Report By Day
Warehousing Your Data
- Starting with the Connections Overview Page, navigate to your WooCommerce connection and click on it to open the Connection Details page.
- Select the Manage Connection button inside the Connection Details section to open the warehouse table selection flow.
- If your data source isn't already connected, refer to the Connecting to Data Sources for more details. If your data source is already connected, you can immediately select which tables of data you want to warehouse.
- Once you have finished selecting the data that you want stored in the Data Warehouse, click the Sync & Store button at the bottom of the Manage Connection page. This will begin the initial population of your warehouse with the tables you defined. Populating your data warehouse for the first time may take a while, even up to several hours.
- While your data is "In Queue" or "Processing", you may continue working within the app.
Sync Interval
Full Sync
The default sync interval is 12 hours per table for the following tables:
- Customers
- Orders
- Sales Report
- Sales Report By Day
Incremental Sync
When incremental sync is available, the default incremental sync interval is 1 hour, while the default full sync interval is 1 week.
Incremental sync is not currently available for WooCommerce warehoused tables.
To learn more about sync intervals and how to adjust the default settings, please visit the this section of the Data Warehouse help article.
Direct Query
A direct query connection can be used to pull data into Grow. With abnormal usage, Direct Query can run into API limitations depending on the data source. For this reason, we recommend that you use Grow's Data Warehouse for a more performant, reliable experience.

FAQs
WooCommerce and WordPress
If you have a WooCommerce site that is based on WordPress, you have the option of connecting the MySQL database instead through Grow's native connector.
Bringing in the Entire Customers Report
There aren't any options for filtering down the Customers report when pulling it into Grow, so you have to bring in the entire report. That means it could take a little longer to pull in that report depending on your account. If the report is too large, you might get a "time out" error when connecting via direct query. If this occurs, consider warehousing your Customers table for a more reliable, performant experience.
