    2. Fill in the following fields:
      1. Domain: Your WooCommerce subdomain name.

      If you need to load historical data, please refer to the Data Backfilling article.

    6. Preview your data by clicking on the Test Data button in the top right corner. You can adjust the date range for a more specific time frame.
    7. Click on Save and congratulations, your new data source is ready!

    Troubleshooting

    Data Preview Unavailable

    No data preview when you click on Test Data might be caused by an issue with your source configuration. The most common causes are:

    • Date range: Try a smaller date range. You can load the rest of your data afterward via manual data load.
    • Insufficient permissions: Please make sure your authorized account has at least admin-level permissions.
