Plug-in for Magmi Import Tool

Modified on Fri, 29 Sep, 2023 at 9:40 PM

M2E Pro is developed to work based on core Magento functionality, meaning the Module correctly identifies all of the product updates made through the Magento interface and synchronizes them on the Channel accordingly. In case 3rd party modules are used to update such information as Product Quantity, Price, status, etc. in Magento, then programmatic adjustments are required to ensure that the product updates are caught by M2E Pro.

Magmi Import Tool provides product changes via direct SQL injections (i.e. not through the standard Magento functionality). M2E Pro plug-in for Magmi Import Tool allows notifying the Module to reflect such product updates correctly.

Please upgrade your M2E Pro to the latest version prior to installing the plug-in for Magmi tool. It provides compatibility between your Module and the latest plug-in version.

If you have any questions, please contact the Support Team at support@m2epro.com.
