Connect Magento

Install the extension

1. In the Dropday dashboard sidebar, click Store Integration, then Magento.

2. Install the extension with Composer, as that page describes. The package is dropday-io/module-orderautomation.

Connect your account

1. On the Magento page under Store Integration, copy your API key and your Account ID from the setup steps. The Account ID has a copy button.

2. In Magento, go to Stores > Configuration > Dropday > Order Automation.

3. Turn the extension on and enter the Account ID and the API key.

When orders reach Dropday

The extension sends an order to Dropday as soon as it's placed, whatever its payment status, when the extension is on and the Account ID and API key are filled in. There's no setting to send orders only once they're paid. The order normally appears in Dropday within seconds to a minute.

To bring in an order placed before you connected the store, a developer or script can send it through the Dropday API. The extension only sends newly placed orders.

Test, then go live

While Test Mode is on, the extension sends orders to Dropday as test orders. Test orders are still emailed to suppliers, with "TEST EMAIL:" at the start of the subject. FTP Upload and API Call don't place test orders at the supplier.

To go live, turn Test Mode off.

Orders are also processed as test orders while your account's billing details are incomplete. Test your setup before going live explains how to check what your suppliers receive.

Check that orders come in

In Magento, the order's history shows whether sending to Dropday succeeded; after sending, Dropday's reference is stored on the order and an order comment is added. In Dropday, the order is in the list under Orders.

A failed send isn't retried automatically, and there's no button to retry it. To still bring the order in, a developer or script can send it through the Dropday API.

Next, add a supplier.
