Magento 2 Setup Guide
How to connect your Magento store
This guide walks you through creating an Integration in your Magento 2 admin panel to generate API credentials, then connecting your store to EagleLytics®.
What You'll Need
- A Magento 2 store (version 2.3 or later)
- Admin account with permission to manage Integrations
- Your admin panel password (Magento asks you to re-enter it)
- About 5-10 minutes
Part 1: Create an Integration
Step 1: Log Into Magento Admin
https://your-store.com/admin
Some stores use a custom admin URL (e.g., /backend or /panel).
Step 2: Navigate to Integrations
System → Extensions → Integrations → Click "Add New Integration"
Step 3: Fill in Integration Info
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | EagleLytics® Inventory Sync |
| Your Password | Your current Magento admin password |
| Callback URL | Leave blank |
Step 4: Set API Permissions
Click the "API" tab. Under Resource Access, select "Custom" and check:
- Catalog (all sub-items) — Products, categories, pricing
- Catalog → Inventory — Stock quantities and status
- Stores → Settings → Configuration → Inventory Section
- Stores → Inventory → Sources — Multi-Source Inventory
- Stores → Attributes → Product (recommended)
Easier option: Select "All" under Resource Access if the tree is confusing. You can tighten later.
Step 5: Save, Activate, and Copy Credentials
- Click "Save"
- Find your integration and click "Activate"
- Click "Allow" on the confirmation dialog
Magento will display four credentials:
- Consumer Key
- Consumer Secret
- Access Token
- Access Token Secret
⚠ The Access Token Secret cannot be viewed again. Copy all four values now.
Part 2: Connect to EagleLytics®
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Store Type | Magento |
| Store Name | Any name you like |
| Store URL | https://your-store.com |
| API Key | Consumer Key |
| API Secret | Consumer Secret |
| Access Token | Access Token |
Click "Test Connection", then "Save".
Troubleshooting
"Consumer is not authorized to access resources"
API permissions too restrictive. Edit integration and add missing resource checkboxes, or switch to "All."
Lost your Access Token Secret
Delete the old integration and create a new one.
Test Connection times out
Magento stores can be slow. Try again. If persistent, check that your server allows external API requests.
