Magento is an open source e-commerce platform which provides online sellers with a powerful shopping cart system, as well as control over the look, feel and functionality of their online store.

HappyFox - Magento Integration enables agents to view Magento customer and order information for a HappyFox contact while creating a new ticket and in the ticket details page.

⚠️ This article explains configuration steps for an older version of Magento(v1). If you are using the newer version of Magento(v2.0), please refer to this article. 

Integrating Magento with HappyFox involves:

Creating your Magento API Credentials.

In order to create your API credentials in Magento, you will need to first create a Webservice Role and then a Webservice User.

  • Creating a WebService Role:
    • Log in to your Magento Admin Panel.
    • From global navigation, go to System >> Web Services >>SOAP/XML RPC – Roles.
    • Click "Add a new Role". Specify a name for this Role. E.g "HF integration".
    • From Left navigation, go to "Role Resources".
    • Select “All” from the Resource Access drop down (This enables HappyFox to pull the necessary information into your helpdesk).
    • Click "Save Role".

  • Creating a WebService User:
    • Go to your Magento Admin Panel.
    • From global navigation, go to System > Web Services > SOAP/XML RPC – Users.
    • Fill in the following fields in the User Info tab:
      • Username,
      • First Name,
      • Last Name,
      • Email,
      • In the API Key field, specify a secure password (any number or letter string that you will remember). You would need to enter this information in HappyFox later.
      • Make sure Account status is set to "Active".
    • Go to User Role Tab from the left navigation:
      •  Then, select the Role which you created in the previous step.
    • Click "Save User". This completes the Magento Side configuration for the integration.

Configuring the Magento App inside HappyFox with the API credentials.

  • Log in to HappyFox agent portal.
  • Go to Apps >> E-Commerce >> Magento
  • Click "Install".
  • Enter the following Magento details:
    • Server URL
    • Your Username. (Username of the Webservice user created earlier)
    • Your API Key. (API key of the Webservice user created earlier)
  • Click Save. This enables the integration.

Q: Will my Magento version support this integration?

A: HappyFox utilizes the XML-RPC v1 API of Magento. This is available in all versions of Magento, including Enterprise, Go, and Community. To check if your site is setup correctly for XML-RPC v1, visit http://your-website.com/api/xmlrpc/ (replacing your-website with your actual domain). If you get back XML data, then you should be ready to connect to HappyFox.
