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.

Integrating Magento with HappyFox involves:

• Creating your Magento API Credentials.
• Configuring the Magento App inside HappyFox with the API credentials.

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.
