Configuring the Magento 2 extension
STEP 1: Connecting to Salesforce
For an introduction to the Salesforce integration, see Introduction.
Before you begin
- Make sure you have a security token from your Salesforce Administrator
- Get a WSDL file and save it according to the instructions in STEP 5 in Magento 2 & Salesforce: Installation Instructions
Connect to Salesforce
In the Magento Admin panel, navigate to Salesforce (tab) > Configuration > General Configuration.
Expand Salesforce API (section) and you will see:
- Change Integration Mode to "Magento Salesforce (only)" or "Bi-directional".
- Enter your API Username and API Password (your Username and Password for Salesforce account).
- Enter your Security Token (In some cases token is not required, please check with your Salesforce Administrator for more information). To reset your Security Token use the following instruction: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=user_security_token.htm&type=5
- Enter the path to your WSDL file, but we are hoping you've already saved the file. Related article: Magento 2 & Salesforce: Installation Instructions
- Verify your connection configuration by clicking the "Test Connection & Apply Changes" button.
- If the connection was successful, click Save Config at the top right of the page.
STEP 2: Select the Type of Synchronization
Expand Advanced section and select synchronization mode from Message Queue drop-down list
- Standard - Message Queue work with CRON
- RabbitMQ - send Message Queue via RabbitMQ
To use the Message Queue you need to configure Cron jobs and consumers: Magento 2 CRON & MQ Setup
STEP 3: Synchronize Magento Websites
In Magento Admin panel, navigate to Stores (tab) > Settings > All Stores.
Step 3.1: assign pricebook for every website
- Default Pricebook - A website-specific Salesforce custom pricebook to be used to hold Magento catalog prices.
Step 3.2: run the sync process on the grid page:
Before you can synchronize any customers and/or orders, you must synchronize all Magento websites with Salesforce. You can do this by clicking on Sync Websites with Salesforce button or simply opening any Magento website in this list and clicking the Save button on the edit screen.
STEP 4: State and Country Picklists
In the Magento Admin panel, navigate to Salesforce (tab) > Configuration > General Configuration.
Expand the Advanced (section) section.
Set "Developer Mode" to "Yes"
Enable this feature only if your Salesforce organization leverages State and Country picklists for addresses.
For success synchronization data from Magento to Salesforce (orders, customer address, etc) when "State and Country picklists" option is enabled, countries and states from Magento should match with countries and states in Salesforce. But some countries in Magento by default does not contain states
In this case, you could install our Country State module. This module will help you to insert all newly created countries' states from Salesforce to Magento. Customer will see new states in the Country drop-down list
For more information refer to next article Country State
- Developer Mode - simply adds some extra advanced configuration settings. You should only be using these after you consult with PowerSync.
STEP 5: Debugging and Logging
Expand the Debug and Logging section. When developer mode is enabled, you can configure the settings required for audit and debugging purposes.
- Enable Log - allows Powersync integration to log all its transactions to the server.
- Database Logging - allows PowerSync integration to store partial transaction data and allows you to access that data via Magneto Admin panel
- Database Log Limit - The maximum number of records to be stored in the database.
Do NOT enable Database Logging if your store is heavily loaded
