Connecting Magento Store with the Plugin 

• Log in to your Magento store.
• You can find the Zoho connector icon in the collapsable menu on the left side of the page.

• Now, click on Zoho Shop Connector.
• The next step is entering your details like email, token type, and password to create a connection between the Magento store and the Integration plugin.

• Merchants get two token types to establish a connection between the app and Magento store. 

1. Integration Token: It is more secure and reliable; more importantly, it doesn’t expire.
2. Admin Token: Admin token is not valid for a long time; it gets expired in a few hours. This creates trouble sometimes.

• Enter the required information for each option after selecting the preferred option for the Token Type.

If Integration Token Is Selected

To establish a connection between your Magento store and CedCommerce App, it is suggested to use the Integration token as it is more reliable and safe. Enter the following details to proceed:

• Email: Enter the email id that is associated with your Magento store.
• Store ID: Select the respective store ID to connect with our app.

Now, click on Connect, available in the top right corner of your screen.

If Admin Token Is Selected

You can also opt for Admin Token to establish a connection between your Magento store and CedCommerce App; you need to enter the given details.

• Username: Enter the username for your Magento store.
• Password: Enter the login password for your Magento store.
• Store: Select the respective store ID to connect with our app.

Once done, click on Connect App, available in the top right corner of your screen.

(NOTE: Make sure your store is not “.htaccess” protected or else the connector app won’t work. If the site is .htaccess protected, you can disable it from your Magento store)

• You will be redirected to the Zoho connector’s app dashboard.

Once the plugin is installed and connected successfully the status changes to “Connected.”
