<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn this blog, you will get to know about how with the help of middleware you can connect your Akeneo with Shopware 6.<\/p>\r\n
The middleware allows the abstraction of functionality between the two systems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It uses GraphQL for translation on Shopware 6 end and performs data export using the REST Admin API for Products and as well as Collections.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Learn how Middleware works with the Shopware 6 Akeneo Connector<\/a> in this document. You can use this connector to connect your Shopware 6 store to the Akeneo PIM platform.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Growth Edition:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Growth Edtion is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) PIM. Fast Deployment, Automatic Upgrades, Scalable, and Adaptable PIM Results are all included in the Growth Edition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Further, we use Middleware software to set up the Shopware 6 Akeneo Connector. Therefore we use Akeneo API for the integration.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Enterprise Serenity Mode:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Enterprise Serenity is also a SaaS-ground like Growth. Furthermore, EE has some advanced features like Asset Manager, Reference Realities, and Advance Rights Management.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n So, now Shopware 6 Akeneo Connector is compatible with the Akeneo EE Serenity with Middleware software ( Developed by Webkul)SaaS- Ground Akeneo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n These details are mandatory for the\u00a0Middleware Akeneo PIM Connector<\/a>\u00a0configuration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The admin can easily generate API keys from the Admin backend.<\/p>\r\n For this, the admin will navigate to Setting > System > Integration <\/strong>as per the below image.<\/p>\r\n After that click on\u00a0Add Integration<\/strong>\u00a0to create new API keys.<\/p>\r\n Then after clicking on Add Integration you have to fill in the API key name.<\/p>\r\n Copy the API Key then click to\u00a0Save Integration<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n Firstly, go to Shopware 6 Connector > Akeneo API connection detail <\/strong>and add the API credentials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Please Note <\/strong>– We require API to link the Akeneo and Shopware 6 to the middleware.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Further, you need to add all the below details in the section mentioned below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Next, click the button Validate Credentials <\/strong>to import all of your Akeneo product data into MiddleWare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Here, provide the Shopware 6 store details for the data you wish to export.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Now, to add the Shopware 6 credentials click the button Create Credentials. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Your Shopware 6 store URL, Access Key ID, Secret access key and Shopware Version must all be entered on the Credentials page.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For configuration purposes, you can add several Shopware 6 stores.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Further, pick the default local in which you want to export the data by clicking on edit credentials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n After setting up the Shopware6 API keys in Akeneo, Therefor you need to map the product fields between Shopware6 and Akeneo as per the below image.<\/p>\r\n Fields in Akeneo \u2013<\/strong> In this admin can map the value of the product and product model.<\/p>\r\n Variants fields in Akeneo \u2013<\/strong> In this admin can map the value of product variants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If your products have lots of information, you can enter Shopware6 attribute code ID and then click Add Field.
