Magento 2 Yatego Integration

Below, we shed light on how to connect Magento 2 to Yatego – one of the most significant online marketplaces of Germany. We describe the platform a little bit as well as shed light on core aspects of the Magento 2 Yatego integration including tips on how to choose a Magento 2 Yatego connector.

Founded in 2003, Yatego has become a community-proven marketplace and one of the largest websites of its kind for the whole German-speaking world. It combines more than 10 thousand specific shops from over than 7 thousand merchants who offer 10 million of all possible products. A user-friendly categorisation of proposed goods makes Yatego a very convenient place since it is easy to satisfy even the most demanding search request in the marketplace.

In addition to a convenient search experience, Yatego offers a secure checkout with the most frequently used payment methods. Thus, the platform provides the ability to leverage PayPal. Alternatively, customers can pay for ordered goods using credit cards. Bill purchases are possible as well.

Now, let’s discuss requirements and propositions related to dealers. Yatego checks every merchant carefully. A retailer is a subject to strict quality control that includes the verification of imprint and business registration. But if you become a part of the platform, Yatego offers the following advantages:

• Get the ability to work with top 3 marketplaces in Germany.
• Increase traffic to your website and get new customers.
• Fully leverage personalised images for your representation.
• Use your shop name as a shop domain name on the marketplace.
• Provide customers with a direct linking to your Magento 2 website.
• Streamline legal security with protected shops.
• Use the most convenient payment methods – there is a list to choose from.

Also, note that the minimum contract period for working on Yatego is one year. The notice period is 3 months before the contract ends. Yatego charges 8% from all sales.

Magento 2 Yatego Connector

The marketplace offers the Yatego Shop Package – platform’s software for the optimised integration. It covers such e-commerce aspects as data migration, store management, order processing, shipping, product management, and stats. You can fully leverage it as an import tool for Yatego, but it is also necessary to install the Magento 2 Yatego connector. Below, we share several tips that will help you find a tool suitable for the Magento 2 Yatego synchronisation.

First of all, your connector must be platform-agnostic. It means that it is an extension developed to synchronise Magento 2 with all possible platforms, solutions, and software. This approach is essential due to several reasons. Firstly, the expenditures necessary for connecting your e-commerce storefront to external systems. If you use separate connectors for each integration, multiple tools are required in running these integrations. Thus, you need to purchase more than one extensions to cover your business needs. And since several modules usually cost more than a single tool with similar functionality, the budget of being multichannel increases and sometimes it increases dramatically.

Secondly, you substantially decrease the time necessary for developing all integrations. By choosing multiple modules, you need more than one installation to be passed. Besides, you cannot connect Magento 2 to all systems without exploring each new module’s interface. Thus, when you use a single universal extension, the time expenditures are reduced dramatically.

Thirdly, there are several critical technical benefits related to platform-agnostic solutions. For instance, you want to connect your Magento 2 website not only to Yatego but 9 more platforms. Since 10 modules usually consume more resources than a single solution with the similar functionality, you substantially decrease the system load by installing a universal extension. At the same time, you reduce the probability of errors between the installed extensions.

If you still don’t believe that a platform-agnostic extension is better than a plethora of platform-specific modules, we have one more argument. Some platforms don’t offer dedicated connectors. For instance, Yatego provides merchants with a robust software on the basis of the marketplace, but no Magento 2 Yatego connector is available. Thus, you can implement only a combined approach to all integrations: platform-specific extensions should be used along with a platform-agnostic tool, but why is it necessary to purchase multiple dedicated plugins if a universal solution must be installed in any circumstances?

And to integrate your Magento 2 website with Yatego and any other platform, your connector should transfer data not only from Magento 2 but to your backend as well. In case of the marketplace described in this article, all purchases are made externally – it is not a shopping engine that transfers buyers to a merchant’s website. Consequently, Yatego generates order data that must be imported to Magento 2. And when it comes to data import/export, you also face one crucial problem: different standards and requirements related to the data structure. Usually, merchants edit data files manually both before importing them to Magento 2 and exporting from the backend. In case of multiple items, this process takes much time, and you cannot avoid it. Therefore, your import/export platform-agnostic connector must solve this problem. You must admit that not many tools satisfy all these requirements, but we know for sure that the Improved Import Export Magento 2 extension does!

The module can easily connect your Magento 2 website to any external platform since it supports the bidirectional data flow as well as allows leveraging multiple file formats, connection types, and data sources. The Improved Import export Magento 2 plugin works with such file formats as CSV, XML, and TXT. You can also transfer data via Google Sheets and Excel files. Alternatively, it is possible to establish the API connection between your website and the selected platform. As for file sources, our module supports FTP/SFTP allowing you to move data via a local or remote server. You can also use a Dropbox account or import files from a URL address directly.

To solve the problem with different standards and requirements, the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension provides the mapping functionality. You can easily create any custom data structure and map default Magento 2 attributes to any custom attributes right in the module’s backend. And it is necessary to do this procedure only once: the created mapping schemes will be used for all further data updates. And if there is a mapping preset designed for the platform of your choice, you can apply it even faster – in just a few clicks.

Another feature that simplifies every connection including the Magento 2 Yatego synchronisation is cron support. You can fully automate data updates by creating a custom schedule. At the same time, several predefined intervals are provided.
