In plain words

How do I get better WooCommerce reports?

WooCommerce’s reports cover the basics, and plugins add more. Orcabase takes a different route: Fivetran copies your orders, products and customers into a database Orcabase hosts for you, and you ask about them in plain words.

Your store keeps running as usual, and its data sits next to your ads, emails and payments.

Ask in plain words

What you can ask about your WooCommerce data

The agent answers with the number, a chart and the steps it took. Keep the good answers on a dashboard.

  • What sold best this month?

  • Which coupons bring customers who come back?

  • How many orders did we get each day last week?

  • What’s our average order value, month by month?

  • Which customers spend the most?

  • What share of orders are refunded?

  • Which products are often bought together?

  • Show me orders by country.

What comes in

Your WooCommerce data, ready to ask about.

A copy in a database Orcabase hosts for you, with its own folder for each app.

01

Orders

Every order, with its items, taxes, shipping and coupons.
02

Products

Your catalog, categories, prices and stock.
03

Customers

Numbers worth defining

Define them once. Every answer agrees.

Tell Orcabase what each number means, certify it, and your dashboards, the agent and your whole team use the same one. The agent can draft these from your WooCommerce data.

How to connect

Connect WooCommerce, step by step.

  1. 1

    Find it in Sync data

    In Orcabase, go to Sync data → Add source and search for WooCommerce. Pick the database to sync into.

  2. 2

    Connect WooCommerce on Fivetran’s page

    Fivetran’s page asks for your store’s address and a WooCommerce API key and secret, which you create under WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API.

  3. 3

    Choose what to sync

    Back in Orcabase, tick the data you want. Only what you pick is synced, and only it counts toward your allowance.

  4. 4

    Ask away

    The first sync starts straight away. When it’s done, ask the agent about your WooCommerce data.

What you’ll need

  • Access to your WordPress admin, to create a WooCommerce API key.
  • The Admin role in Orcabase, and data hosting: Fivetran writes into a database Orcabase hosts for you.

Questions

About WooCommerce and Orcabase

More in the docs: Sync apps with Fivetran

Does it work wherever my store is hosted?
Yes, self-hosted or hosted WordPress alike, as long as your store’s API can be reached from the internet.
Can Orcabase change orders or products?
No. Give the API key read access only. Orcabase only reads the synced copy.
Do I need a Fivetran account?
No. Orcabase uses its own. You sign in to WooCommerce on Fivetran’s page, and the data lands in a database Orcabase hosts for you, so there’s nothing else to set up or pay Fivetran for.
How fresh is my WooCommerce data in Orcabase?
Fivetran syncs it every 6 hours as standard, and an admin can run a sync by hand at any time. The page for each source shows when it last synced and when it syncs next.
What does syncing cost?
Counts toward your monthly sync allowance: 500,000 changed rows a month, as standard. Each distinct row that’s added or changed in a month counts once, however often it changes, and the first full copy is free. You choose which tables sync, so you only spend the allowance on what you need.
