eBay Connector for Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce)

Customers will get a zip folder and they have to extract the contents of this zip folder on their system. Thus, the extracted folder has an src folder, inside the src folder you have the app folder.

You need to transfer this app folder into the Magento2 root directory on the server as shown below.

If you download the module from Magento Connect then unzip the respective extension zip.

Henceforth create Webkul(vendor) then Ebaymagentoconnect(module) name folder inside your magento2 root directory as:

app/code/Webkul/Ebaymagentoconnect and then move all module’s files inside /app/code/Webkul/Ebaymagentoconnect/ folder in magento2 root directory.

After the upload, you can see the folders in your Magento2 Root Directory.

Hereafter the successful installation, you have to run these commands in the Magento2 root directory.

composer require webkul/ebayconnector

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

php bin/magento cache:flush

Note- “composer require webkul/ebayconnector” this command is necessary to run in the terminal for the proper installation of the module.

For multilingual support, the admin will navigate through Store->Configuration->General ->Locale Options.

Hence, select the locale as German (the language into which the admin wants to translate his store content).

If a user wants to translate their module from English to German. Henceforth, they need to follow the path app/code/Webkul/Ebaymagentoconnect/i18n in their unzip Magento2 Ebaymagentoconnect folder.

The user receives a CSV file with the name “en_US.csv”. Now they will rename that CSV as “de_DE.csv”.

Then translate all right side content after the comma in the German language.

After editing the CSV, save it and then upload it to the path app/code/Webkul/Ebaymagentoconnect/i18n where the Magento2 on the server installation took place.

So, the module will translate into the German Language. However, it supports both RTL and LTR languages.

Thus, the user can edit the CSV like the image below.

After the successful installation of Magento 2 ebay integration module, one will need to fill in the eBay developer keys (app id, cert id, dev id, user id, auth token).
