So, can I customize Akeneo Connector for Magento 2?
If the multiple configurations of the Akeneo Connector don't suit your business logic, or if you want to have other possibilities for import, you can customize Akeneo Connector for Magento 2.
This is why Akeneo provides you with the PHP source code of this Connector upon delivery.
Just keep in mind a few things before starting to develop your own improvements:
- Observers define each task for a given import. If you want to add a task, declare a new method in the corresponding Import class and add it to the Observer.
- One method in Import class=One task
- There is no data transfer between tasks
Please note that if you think your custom feature could also be used by the community, feel free to submit a PR so we can add it to this repository! If this feature could benefit to Enterprise users, Akeneo will get in touch with you to incorporate your edits to the Premium version as well. Cheers!
