Integrate with live GMO MakeShop Data in Jitterbit

Jitterbit is an enterprise iPaaS (integration platform as a service) that lets you streamline your data workflows. When paired with CData Connect Cloud, Jitterbit gets access to live GMO MakeShop data. This article demonstrates how to connect to GMO MakeShop using Connect Cloud and integrate with live GMO MakeShop data in Jitterbit.

CData Connect Cloud provides a pure OData interface for GMO MakeShop, allowing you to query data from GMO MakeShop without replicating the data to a natively supported database. Using optimized data processing out of the box, CData Connect Cloud pushes all supported SQL operations (filters, JOINs, etc.) directly to GMO MakeShop, leveraging server-side processing to return the requested GMO MakeShop data quickly.

Configure GMO MakeShop Connectivity for Jitterbit

Connectivity to GMO MakeShop from Jitterbit is made possible through CData Connect Cloud. To work with GMO MakeShop data from Jitterbit, we start by creating and configuring a GMO MakeShop connection.

1. Log into Connect Cloud, click Connections and click Add Connection

2. Select "GMO MakeShop" from the Add Connection panel

3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to GMO MakeShop.

   Configuring Access to GMO MakeShop

   GMO MakeShop requires AccessCode for each API. To obtain MembersAccessCode, OrdersAccessCode, ProductsAccessCode, and ShopId, follow the steps below:

   • Log in to the GMO MakeShop Store Manager and click Create Shop.
   • Click any target connection setting from External System Connection in the left-hand navigation menu. If you cannot find it in the menu, please contact GMO Makeshop.
   • Product Data Connection Settings: Click Issue to retrieve the authentication code and ProductsAccessCode.
   • Order Data Connection Settings: First select Get Order Information > Change Order Information settings. Then click Issue to retrieve the authentication code and OrdersAccessCode.
   • Members Data Connection Settings: Select Get/Post/Update/Delete Members Information settings. Then click Issue to retrieve the authentication code and MembersAccessCode.

   Authenticating to GMO MakeShop Account

   Set the following connection properties to connect:

   • ShopId: Set the GMO MakeShop Store ID of the connection destination. The GMO MakeShop Store ID is the same as the ID for login.
   • OrdersAccessCode: Set the orders access code retrieved from Order Data Connection Settings. This property is required to access the Orders table.
   • ProductsAccessCode: Set the products access code retrieved from Product Data Connection Settings. This property is required to access the Products table.
   • MembersAccessCode: Set the members access code retrieved from Members Data Connection Settings. This property is required to access the Members table.

4. Click Create & Test
5. Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add GMO MakeShop Connection page and update the User-based permissions.

Add a Personal Access Token

If you are connecting from a service, application, platform, or framework that does not support OAuth authentication, you can create a Personal Access Token (PAT) to use for authentication. Best practices would dictate that you create a separate PAT for each service, to maintain granularity of access.

1. Click on your username at the top right of the Connect Cloud app and click User Profile.
2. On the User Profile page, scroll down to the Personal Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
3. Give your PAT a name and click Create.

4. The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.

Configure GMO MakeShop Endpoints for Jitterbit

After connecting to GMO MakeShop, create a workspace and virtual dataset for your desired table(s).

1. Navigate to the Virtual Datasets page and click Add to create a new Workspace (or select an existing workspace).
2. Click Add to add new assets to the Workspace.
3. Select the GMO MakeShop connection (e.g. GMOMakeShop1) and click Next.
4. Select the table(s) you wish to work with and click Confirm.
5. Make note of the OData Service URL for your workspace, e.g. https://cloud.cdata.com/api/odata/{workspace_name}
