Bulk provides an option to upload a large number of resources, such as contacts, to a service provider all at once. You can use bulk to download a csv or json file from a large number of records or upload a csv or json file to add multiple records. See Using Bulk for more information on managing bulk.
Note: Cloud Elements leverages the native provider bulk endpoints whenever available. When there is no bulk available from the provider, Cloud Elements provides a bulk service for uploading and downloading data from the endpoint. See Bulk Details for the type of bulk used.
Bulk Details
| Bulk Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Bulk Type | Cloud Elements bulk service and not native bulk endpoints. Rate limits come into play when using the Cloud Elements bulk service, so contact WooCommerce for the limitations. |
| Upsert Support | No |
| Field Selection Support | No. To limit the fields returned by the query, you must use a transformation. See Define Virtual Data Resources and Transformations. For example, you can use only select * for this element. |
| Order By Support | Yes, you can add orderby=fieldName to the query. |
Hash Verification
If you configured the Callback Notification Signature Key (event.notification.signature.key) when you authenticated an element instance, the bulk APIs will use the signature key to provide hash verification in the header of bulk jobs. For more information, see Hash Verification.
