Q: How to install PIMGento (API)?

  • Disconnect / reconnect to the Back Office
  • Refresh Magento compilation if needed (System > Tools > Compilation)

Q: How to configure PIMGento (API)?

Q: How to customize PIMGento (API)?

A: If even the multiple configuration of PIMGento (API) doesn't suit your business logic, or if you want to have other possibilities in import, you can always override PIMGento (API) as it is completely Open Source. Just keep in mind a few things before beginning to develop your own logic:

  • Observers define each task for a given import, if you want to add a task you should declaring a new method in the corresponding Import class and adding to the Observer.
  • One method in Import class = One task
  • There is no data transfer between tasks

Note that if you judge your feature can be used by others, and if you respect this logic, we will be glad to add it to PIMGento (API): just make us a PR!
