Note

This app has the Special label. That means the app is developed for a special use case that may not be suitable for every customer.

Installation and setup GetCoreIO interface

To integrate the GetCoreIO store from ZMB into xentral, you need two steps. xentral always connects external stores, even if they offer extra APIs, via an xentral store importer. This is the standardized interface for xentral.

Interface features

  • Pick up orders

  • Feedback tracking number

The receipts are automatically created and sent during the shipping process or printed out at the shipping printer.

General installation procedure (for technicians)

  1. Installation of the store importer in the customer's web space

  2. Creating a store in xentral + transfer key for communication

  3. Saving the transfer key store importer

  4. Create a (non-public) path for the storage of the imported order data

  5. Transmission test

Step 1: Create a new store in xentral

Administration → Shop interface → Overview → New

Note

Until version 21.1 it's via Administration → Online shops → New

  • Click Getcore

  • Create an ImportKey and ImportToken

Step 2: Installing the store importer on the Magento server

  • Copying the getcoreioimporter folder into Magento

  • Create the configuration file (copy user.inc.php.tpl to user.inc.php)

  • Configuration of the path settings in the user.inc.php file

  • ImportKey a 32 characters long key in the file user.inc.php file

  • ImportToken a 6 characters long key in the file user.inc.php file

Step 3: Connection from xentral to the store importer

  • Setting the URL to the store importer (URL + Key + Token)

  • Test the connection (on export)

Step 4: Data reconciliation

In order for the webshop to be able to take over the tracking data, it must be fetched from the ZMB company. This is done by creating an FTP user who can access the CSV file with the tracking data.

Click on "Check connection" and you should get a success message.

Paths

In order to work correctly, the importer needs two local paths and a URL:

  • CSVOrder- This is the path where the order data will be before it is read by the importer. This path should not be accessible from the Internet, otherwise anyone can download all order data.

  • CSVTracking- This is the path where the webshop reads the tracking data. This path should not be reachable from the internet, otherwise everyone can download the tracking data.

  • CSVURL- The URL is the address under which the order data can be downloaded. You can get it either from the customer, or from ZMB itself.
