Speed adjustment

In order to successfully connect Magento with xentral, a speed adjustment of the store is necessary. In the Magento backend, set the following option to Enable:

System > Configuration > Magento Core Api > Enable WSDL Cache

Installation & Setup

  1. Creating a Magento 1.9 store in xentral
  2. Create a SOAP user in the Magento backend under System > Webservices > SOAP/XML-RPC Users
  3. Give SOAP user general rights under System > Webservices > SOAP/XML-RPC Roles
  4. Specify in xentral to Magento API (https://yourdomain.com/api/soap/?wsdl))
  5. Click on the API domain, if the connection is successful you will land on an XML. If you land on your website instead, the search engine module (mod redirect) is usually responsible (see note below).
  6. Test the transfer
  7. Individual configuration (e.g. how shipping is imported, whether the prices are taken from xentral or from the store, etc.).

Note: mod redirect should not be deactivated in any case, this can lead to major problems. The redirect module leads among other things to the fact that there is only one start page for the shop. No matter if the customer enters www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com, he always ends up at https://www.yourdomain.com. Something like this should be done for every website to avoid the problem of "duplicate content". However, requests to yourdomain.com are redirected to www.yourdomain.com. To avoid this the following link must be used: https://www.yourdomain.com/api/soap/?wsdl
The solution of the mod-redirect problem: Whether there is a problem at all or not depends on how the respective webmaster has configured the default URL of his website.
