About the connection

A connection with your Magento 2 webshop is set up using a plugin that you install into your Magento 2 environment.  After installing the plugin, you can set up an EffectConnect account.  Please contact our customer success for the latest version of the plugin. 

How about multiple languages in Magento 2?

In Magento 2 it is possible to use multiple languages for your products if certain languages are in the same catalog in your Magento 2 environment. In the settings of the EffectConnect plugin in EffectConnect, you define which catalog needs to be exported towards EffectConnect.

Can I use Magento 2 bundles in EffectConnect?

As of plugin version 1.0.47 support for product bundles based on simple products is included. There's some limitations:

  • Only support for bundles without option you can select upon adding to cart are supported
  • Only bundles provided with the shipping option that all products are shipped together/at once are supported.

You can enable the exporting of these bundles in your EffectConnect plugin settings in Magento. By default, exporting of bundles is disabled.

How to set up a connection between Magento 2 and EffectConnect?

  1. Contact our customer success department to receive the latest plugin for your Magento 2 system. Our colleagues will determine if an installation is possible. Also, we will create an EffectConnect account for you.
  2. Once you installed the plugin in Magento 2, you need to create custom API keys in your EffectConnect account, to read more about these keys, read this article.
  3. When you created custom API keys, you can fill these in the configuration of the EffectConnect plugin in Magento 2. 
  4. Configure all the settings in the Magento 2 plugin by your needs and wishes (for example, the store view you like to import, which price field needs to be used, and so on). 

From this part on you can follow our onboarding guide if you're not yet familiar with our software.

Synchronization intervals 

Synchronization intervals between Magento 2 and EffectConnect.

Because the Magento 2 connection functions as a custom API connection, you can configure the synchronization intervals yourself by your needs and wishes. Please keep in mind that there are certain rate limits for the use of our API. More information can be read on https://docs.effectconnect.com


Please note: These settings can be very useful to change, but are also critical for a good operation of the connection. Our support department can help you apply the right settings. If you're in need of a change, don't hesitate to contact us.
