--- title: Configure Windows Integration Service slug: configured-commerce/docs/configure-windows-integration-service docTags: createdAt: 2026-08-13T10:46:25.000Z --- The Windows Integration Service (WIS) runs integration jobs such as product refreshes and order submits on behalf of the website application. [Install the WIS using](docId:4PqdlDkzvJxniR2fZt8GF) the CommerceIntegrationServiceSetup.msi. Once the WIS is installed on the server, configure SiteConnections.config for each connection set up in the Admin Console. You can configure multiple site connections in a single installation of the WIS. For the 64-bit version, the default path of the installation is C:\\\Program Files\\\Optimizely\\\Commerce Integration Service V4.6. For the 32-bit version, the default path of the installation is C:\\\Program Files (x86)\\\Optimizely\\\Commerce Integration Service V4.6. ## Configure the connection string 1. Go to the folder where you installed the WIS. 2. Open **SiteConnections.config** in a text editor, such as Notepad++. In this file you see a block of code to configure a connection in the AC. 3. Replace the values in brackets with actual values. ![SiteConnection.png](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/ncmpgQbuE1lXmZbcn-_Fs-20260720-144715.png) Here are additional details for each item in the SiteConnection: | **Node name** | **Description** | **Example value** | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Integration Connection Name | Enter a name for the connection in the IntegrationConnectionName node. This connection name must match the name of the related Job Connection under Administration/Jobs in the Admin Console or this connection will be ignored. Recommended syntax is `[clientName]-[envName]-[connectionTypeName]-[ERP/Description]` in pascal case. | TLA-DEV-FlatFile-InRiver TLA-QUA-ODBC-SXe | | Enable real-time thread | Avoid using the real-time thread unless necessary. You should use API calls into the target system for real-time order submission rather than rely on the WIS. Instead, reserve the real-time function for when there is not an externally available API and the WIS must respond with data in a near-real-time fashion, such as for order submit and external queries. |   | | URL | Enter the WIS Integration URL determined below. | `https://configuredCommerceClient-integration.commerce.insitesandbox.com` | | Username | Enter the username for the integration user that has the ISC\_Integration role. For ease of use and safety, recommended username follows the syntax `[clientName]-[environment]-integration-user`. | tla-dev-integration-user | | Password | Enter the password for the integration user. | **** | | Proxy Username | If you are using a proxy with your integration, enter the appropriate proxy username. Otherwise, leave blank. |   | | Proxy Password | Likewise, either the proxy password or blank. |   | | Dll Folder | If you are using any custom integration code, specify the subdirectory that will store the `[Client].Integration.dll` and `[Client].Integration.pdb` | tla | ## Determine your WIS integration URL The WIS Integration URL consists of a protocol, the client's domain name with "-integration" appended to it, and the environment domain name, such as `https://[client_domain_name]-integration.[environment_domain_name].com/`. The environment domain's value depends on the environment you are configuring. | **Environment** | **Architecture type** | **Environment and top-level domain value** | | --------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Sandbox | V1 | insitesandbox.com | | Sandbox | V2+ | commerce.insitesandbox.com | | Production | V1 | insitesofthosting.com | | Production | V2+ | commerce.insitesofthosting.com | :::hint{type="info"} **Note** When used in the `siteConnections.config` file, the URL must include an ending forward slash. ::: ## Testing You can validate the WIS Integration URL by looking for a service endpoint located at `https://[wis-integration-url]/integration/integration.svc`. If the URL was formed correctly, you should see the standard service information in the browser. ![WIS Standard Service Information.png](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/K85yJJV-_y72O0cFw0zaT-20260720-144715.png) :::hint{type="warning"} **Important** Use a Remote Desktop session to test the client's website URL from their WIS server to ensure connectivity. ::: ## Create the connection in the Admin Console 1. Go to **Administration** > **Jobs Connections**. 2. Click **Add Integration Connection**. 3. Enter the name for the new connection. This name must exactly match the name that was entered in the connections string. 4. Choose the type of connection from the **Type** drop-down list. 5. Enter the rest of the data as required for the specified connection. For example, if using a Tab delimited flat file connection, enter **TAB** for the **Delimiter**. 6. Click **Save**. When finished with the connections, go to [Create integration jobs](docId\:PQcv8ijMI3FR57VfLniwM). :::hint{type="info"} **Note** The WIS only needs to receive outbound connections and does not need an HTTPS or self-signed certificate. :::
