Continuously updated prices and availability provides a great opportunity to determine the best offer as fast as possible.

How to Select Magento 2 Schottenland Connector
Another essential moment we should discuss here is a Magento 2 Schottenland connector. Below, we’d like to draw your attention to various problems concerning this type of tools.
Bidirectional Data Flow. Why do I need an import/export solution for providing data to a price comparison engine? It’s a good question, and we prepared a comprehensive answer. Nothing is constant, so even a price comparison engine may start providing an output that should be transferred back to your e-commerce store. Several platforms already allow customers not only to compare prices but also to make purchases without being redirected to a dealer’s website. Thus, order data is generated and transferred to a corresponding e-commerce store. If your Magento 2 Schottenland connector doesn’t support import, you will have to do everything manually or install an additional tool. Furthermore, we insist on using a multipurpose solution that can be utilised for all possible integrations. As a result, it is necessary to be ready for all possible types of data flow. If your Magento 2 Schottenland connection doesn’t require import, there will be services that cannot work with your e-commerce storefront if the connector doesn’t know how to move data back.
Support for Multiple Data Types. If a Magento 2 Schottenland support only a limited range of data that can be transferred, it is useless. You either have to move a part of the data manually or install additional tools.
Multipurposeness.As we’ve just mentioned above, multipurposeness is another important criteria a reliable Magento 2 Schottenland connector should support. If you use a tool dedicated to a single integration only, you need as many extensions to be installed as the number of planned connections.
Why are multiple extensions a bad idea? First of all, you increase the budget of your integration. Even if you use two modules instead of a single solution, your expenditures may be two times multiplied. The same is about system load, resource consumption, and the probability of conflicts between modules. And the more extensions you install – the more issues you have to face with.
Luckily, there is a solution that allows avoiding all the aforementioned problems. Meet the Improved Import Export Magento 2 extension by Firebear. The module is designed to provide seamless and fully automated integrations between Magento 2 and all possible third-party platforms. The extension offers an extensive list of features to achieve this ambitious goal.
First of all, it offers two separate sections for import and export profiles. As a result, you can create different algorithms for data import and export. Furthermore, if you want to connect your Magento 2 store to Schottenland, but the platform doesn’t require the import functionality, you just need to configure an export profile.
Since all profiles are based on cron, the Improved Import Export extension allows creating any custom schedule of updates. Alternatively, you can select an interval from a list of predefined values. Manual updates are possible as well.
Another important feature of our extension is mapping. Every profile offers a grid where you can match Magento 2 attributes to any custom attributes in the most user-friendly manner. Thus, the necessity to edit a data file to make it suitable for a third-party platform every time you want to update the information provided to the platform is completely eliminated. Instead of this boring routine, you only have to create a mapping scheme when configuring the profile for the first time. There are also mapping presets, that require no configuration at all. If the desired platform is available in the list of presets, you can effortlessly apply a corresponding mapping scheme within just a few clicks.
Besides, it is necessary to mention that the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension supports multiple connection formats. First of all, it enables you to transfer data via standard CSV, XML, and TXT. Most third-party services and platforms support these formats. In addition, we’ve introduced support for Google Sheets, Excel files, and API integration. Even the most demanding requirements are satisfied by our module.
As for file sources, the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension allows moving data via FTP/SFTP. Usually, it is enough to establish a seamless and fully automated data transfer, but there are two more ways to move data files. First of all, you can rely on a Dropbox account. The module can be fully integrated with it. Alternatively, it is possible to configure data file import with the help of URLs. To discover more features, follow the link below the post.
