Magento prerequisites for Trados Customer Portal
You need to know your Magento credentials before using the Magento connector.
About this task
- Have a service account for the Magento repository from your administrator. It is important to use a service account that is not used by users, to avoid password update issues. You need the following:
- A Magento site URL
- A user name and a client ID
- Languages and language codes
- Pre-configure your Magento site (which has built-in language management) to support the necessary language structure:
- Products on the root category are not displayed.
- The store view codes must match the following pattern:
<TwoLetterLanguageCode> + BaseStoreViewName; for example,de_customer_store_vieworen_customer_store_view
- Verify if access to the instance needs to be established from authorized domains or IPs
The machines on which Trados is deployed have dynamic IPs (or a range of IPs); this might pose a problem when customers use the connector to pick or push content.
Procedure
- As a Magento administrator, create an Integration in your Magento account.
- Allow API access to at least the catalog section and the section.
