Magento 1.9 - establishing integration with MetaKocka

NOTE:  The integration described below is being abandoned and replaced by a new implementation that provides more functionality - https://metakocka.freshdesk.com/sl/support/solutions/articles/3000094271-magento-1-9-soap-vzpostavitev-integacije-z-metakocko

To establish a connection with the Magento 1.9 online store, acquiring the following data is needed:

• Online store address
• Consumer Key
• Consumer Secret

Connecting is conducted in two parts - setup in the Magento 1.9 online store and in connection settings of MetaKocka

1. Magento 1.9 settings:

• Log in to Magento 1.9
• To reach connection settings, go to System -> Web Services -> REST – OAuth Consumer
• On the page that opens, choose »Add New« 
• »Consumer Key« and  »Consumer Secret« data are already entered automatically when adding the connection. Naming the connection is needed only.
• Enter the current user password with which you are signed in to Magento 1.9 to ensure that adding new access, that will be used for MetaKocka, has been done successfully. 
• Click on »Save« to save changes.
• Now, accessibility permissions need to be set up: go to System -> Web Services -> REST – Roles
• Choose Admin role, so that settings would open
• In Role Info enter the password of the current user in Magento 1.9 and click on Role API Resources, to assign the access permissions of MetaKocka
• When accessibility settings open, from the drop-down menu choose All (MetaKocka directly or indirectly requires access to the majority of data)
• When the access to all sources is selected, choose the settings for Role Users
• On the page Role Users, check whether the current administrator/user account that we are signed into the Magento 1.9 system with, is also entered among the Administrators. If not, add it.
• Save your settings
  

2. Connection settings in MetaKocka

• Open Settings -> Links
• From the drop-down menu choose  »Magento 1.9«
• Click on »Add«, to add Magento 1.9 to our connections
• From the Magento 1.9 online store copy previously created Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. Enter the full online store address (in the URL field) the same way.
• Click on the Authorize with MetaKocka button, which will open a new window with a connection to Magento 1.9
• When the new window is open, click on the Authorize MetaKocka button – that way, the authorizing procedure between MetaKocka and Magento 1.9 online store is started
• A new login window will open in the Magento 1.9 online store. Enter data and click on Login.
• On the page that opens, choose Authorize to allow access to Magento 1.9.
• After clicking on the Authorize button, two bold codes will be shown on the screen, both needed to access Magento 1.9 (Access Token ter Access Token Secret)
• Copy both codes in the appropriate fields in the connection settings of MetaKocka. At the end, save your settings
