Setting Up Swim & Magento Ecommerce Integration

This guide outlines all the steps required to install and configure the Swim-Magento Sync plugin.

 

Preparing Swim for the Sync

  1. In Swim navigate to Utilities> Other >Applications and create a new application. (Note: the generated client ID and secret will be used to integrate Magento with Swim)
  2. Once the application is created click the webhooks icon next to the application
  3. From the webhooks window enter your Magento webhook URL (e.g. http://yourmagentosite.com/pos/webhooks)
  4. Ensure that you subscribe to all of the events, Stock Change, Tax Change and Category Change.

Preparing Magento for the Sync

  1. Download and install the plugin from https://github.com/octahedron/octasync-magento
  2. In your Magento Admin site, navigate to System>Configuration>Point of Sale and enter the address of your Swim domain. (e.g. yourcompany.onswim.com)
  3. Copy and paste the client ID and secret you created in Step 1 of “Preparing Swim for the sync” into the respective fields of the point of sale page.
  4. Click Save.

Note: A success message will pop up if the connection was successful otherwise ensure all the fields have been entered correctly in both Swim and Magento.

Enabling the Sync

  1. Within your Magento admin site, navigate to Octahedron>Sync and click Perform Sync to populate your Magento site with the data pulled from Swim.

Note: The Swim-Magento sync is always live and ongoing, meaning you only need to sync once and the data will be pulled between Magento and Swim automatically.
