This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your WooCommerce data to Supermetrics.
You can connect to data sources from the Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub. On the Hub, you can also share an authentication link to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.
After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in all available destinations.
Required permissions

Note that prior to WooCommerce version 3.4, the key generation was located at WooCommerce → Settings → API → Key/Apps. - The store URL can be obtained from the address bar when you log in to Wordpress. The store URL must include https:// at the beginning. Copy only the first part of the address, for example https://example.com, and leave out the latter parts between the /slashes/ .
