In the back-end of your Shopware 6 webshop, go to Extensions -> My Extensions and click the upload extension button. Then upload the ZIP-file which can be downloaded from the GitHub releases page of this project.

Activation

After installation the plugin can be activated in the Shopware 6 Extensions module.

Updating

In Shopware versions below 6.4.17 it's necessary to run the scheduled-task:register command after plug-in updates.

Configuration

API Keys

First create an API keyset in your EffectConnect Marketplace environment. Then go the configuration page of the EffectConnect Marketplaces plugin in your Shopware 6 webshop and set the API keys for the appropriate sales channel.

Tasks

The automatic import, export, and cleanup can be enabled in two ways:

1. By configuring the Shopware 6 scheduled tasks. This should run every minute. For more information, see the Shopware 6 documentation.
2. By setting a couple of commands in the crontab (or another cronjobs module), see below an example of such a configuration (replace {APPLICATION_PATH} with the location of the Shopware 6 installation):

0 3 * * * php {APPLICATION_PATH}/bin/console ec:export-catalog
*/30 * * * * php {APPLICATION_PATH}/bin/console ec:export-offers
*/15 * * * * php {APPLICATION_PATH}/bin/console ec:import-orders
*/15 * * * * php {APPLICATION_PATH}/bin/console ec:export-shipments
0 * * * * php {APPLICATION_PATH}/bin/console ec:clean-exports
0 * * * * php {APPLICATION_PATH}/bin/console ec:clean-log
* * * * * php {APPLICATION_PATH}/bin/console ec:run-shipment-queue
*/5 * * * * php {APPLICATION_PATH}/bin/console ec:run-offer-queue

The cron times above can be adjusted as desired. The times above are explained below:

• Catalog export (ec:export-catalog): Every night at 3:00 AM.
• Offers export (ec:export-offers): Every half hour (00th minute, 30th minute).
• Import orders (ec:import-orders): Every 15 minutes (00th minute, 15th minute, 30th minute, 45th minute).
• Export shipments (ec:export-shipments): Every 15 minutes (00th minute, 15th minute, 30th minute, 45th minute).
• Clearing old exports (ec:clean-exports): Every hour on the hour.
• Clearing old logs (ec:clean-log): Every hour on the hour.
• Exports all queued shipments (ec:run-shipment-queue): Every minute.
• Exports all queued offer changes (ec:run-offer-queue): Every 5 minutes.
