Connect Magento to NetRadar.io

  1. Go back to the integration setup page in NetRadar.io and enter your user information.

  2. The value you entered as 'API Key' for your user in Magento must be entered in the 'Access Token' field in NetRadar.io.

    The API key from the Magento user form copied into the Access Token field in NetRadar.io

  3. Then enter the names of your fields for barcode (also called GTIN/EAN) and brand. You can find these names in Magento under 'Catalog' → 'Attributes' → 'Manage Attributes'.

    Magento menu Catalog → Attributes → Manage Attributes

  4. If your barcode field is called gtin and your brand field is called brand, it will look like this:

    Barcode fieldname set to gtin and Brand fieldname set to brand in NetRadar.io

  5. Click the green 'Save settings' button.

Your products are now being imported for price monitoring. How long it takes depends on the number of products – on average about 5 minutes per 1,000 products.
