Video tutorial

Watch this quick video to see the integration in action. It walks you through the end-to-end setup, including:

• Installing the SSIS PowerPack
• Configuring a secure connection to FastSpring
• Working with FastSpring data directly inside SSIS
• Exploring advanced API Source features

Once you are done watching, simply follow the step-by-step written guide below to configure your data source.

   2. Click Create, FastSpring will automatically generate your Username and Password. Copy them, we will need them in the next step:
      WARNING: Securely store the credentials for future reference.
   3. Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and use this token in API Credentials authentication configuration:
      • In the UserName field paste the Username value you copied in the previous step.
      • In the Password field paste the Password value you copied in the previous step.
   4. Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
   5. Done! Now you are ready to use FastSpring Connector!

   API Connection Manager configuration

   Just perform these simple steps to finish authentication configuration:

   1. Set Authentication Type to API Credentials [Http]
   2. Optional step. Modify API Base URL if needed (in most cases default will work).
   3. Fill in all the required parameters and set optional parameters if needed.
   4. Finally, hit OK button:
