Magento 2

Overview The Kudos Cloud Interaction service connects a Magento 2 website with the Counter Intelligence Office database to synch data between the two applications.

The Cloud services will be set to interact on an agreed frequency – e.g. every 15 minutes.
This interaction is managed on the Kudos Cloud Servers and will run continuously unattended.

Whilst Counter Intelligence has the inherent ability to store web specific information for its own e-retailer sites this is not implemented in the Magento 2 interface as the intent is to carry across basic product information to Magento 2 and then maintain the short descriptions, long descriptions, and other web attributes within Magento 2.

There are two fields within the e-retailer section of Counter Intelligence that are used:

• Internet Active – this will control a product being sent to Magento 2.
• Categories – this will control what category the product is displayed in Magento 2.
