NEW: Magento 2 API connector

Recently, we developed a new Magento module (Icecat PIM Connect) and Magento Icecat PIM connector that includes listing products on Magento and enrichment operations. However, the IcecatPIMConnect module must be installed in your Magento environment. The new connector can automatically load the complete product content in your Magento web store database. At the same time, the Icecat PIM connector uses this module to send products and content to your webshop.

For example, you can send products to the web store from Icecat PIM with Magento SOAP API without CSV export. It also supports multi-shop/multi-store Magento websites.

To sum up, the available features of this connector are:

• Onboarding; it sends all categories and products to Magento. Sent products are assigned to related categories. This process will set categories and product statuses.
• Content Update; this process sends all product content to Magento, which includes attributes, names, descriptions, and image URLs
• Price/Stock; this export type only sends prices and stock updates. As a result, your prices and stock values are updated quickly.
• Images; this process downloads all the previously sent pictures.

The connector is available at an additional installation and usage fee.
