Install Extension Using Commerce Marketplace

This guide will help you install the Mage2Plenty extension for Magento 2 using Composer via the Commerce Marketplace (repo.magento.com).

Direct Purchase?

If the extension was purchased directly from our website, please refer to Composer Installation instead.

About Commerce Marketplace​

Magento uses Composer to manage components and their dependencies. When you purchase an extension from Commerce Marketplace, the composer packages are automatically made available through repo.magento.com.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  1. Magento Marketplace Account - Created at marketplace.magento.com
  2. Access Keys - Generated from your Marketplace account
  3. Mage2Plenty Purchase - Extension purchased from Commerce Marketplace
  4. System Requirements - Your environment meets all system requirements

Getting Your Access Keys​

If you haven't already created Marketplace access keys:

  1. Log in to your Magento Marketplace account
  2. Go to My Profile → Access Keys
  3. Click Create A New Access Key
  4. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Production Server")
  5. Copy both the Public Key (username) and Private Key (password)
Keep Keys Secure
  • Never commit your access keys to version control
  • Add auth.json to your .gitignore file
  • Treat your private key like a password
  • Regenerate keys if they are ever compromised

Installation Steps​

1. Authenticate with Marketplace​

First, configure Composer to authenticate with the Magento Marketplace:

composer config --global --auth http-basic.repo.magento.com <public-key> <private-key>

Replace <public-key> and <private-key> with your actual Marketplace access keys.

Alternative: Interactive Authentication

If you prefer, you can skip this step and Composer will prompt you for credentials when needed. The credentials will then be saved automatically.

2. Verify Marketplace Repository​

Ensure your composer.json includes the Magento Marketplace repository:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://repo.magento.com/"
        }
    ]
}
Default Configuration

This repository is typically already configured in Magento installations. You usually don't need to add it manually.

3. Install Extension​

Now you can install the Mage2Plenty extension.

For Magento Open Source​

composer require softcommerce/mage2plenty-os

For Adobe Commerce​

composer require softcommerce/mage2plenty-ac
Latest Compatible Version

The above commands will install the extension compatible with the latest Magento release.

Install Specific Version​

To install an extension compatible with a specific Magento version, append the appropriate version constraint:

# For Magento 2.4.7
composer require softcommerce/mage2plenty-os ~1.15.0

# For Magento 2.4.6
composer require softcommerce/mage2plenty-os ~1.14.0

# For Magento 2.4.4
composer require softcommerce/mage2plenty-os ~1.13.0
System Requirements

Magento 2.4.4+ requires PHP 8.1 or higher. Ensure your environment meets all system requirements before installation.

Version Information
  • Latest stable version: 1.15.1
  • Compatible with: Magento 2.4.7+
  • Refer to Magento Version Compatibility for a complete list of compatible versions

4. Post Installation​

After installing the extension via Composer, you need to run Magento's setup commands.

For Production Mode​

bin/magento maintenance:enable
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento deploy:mode:set production
bin/magento maintenance:disable
Production Deployment

In production mode, Magento will automatically:

  • Compile dependency injection
  • Deploy static content
  • Clear caches

For Development Mode​

bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento cache:flush

Verify Installation​

Check that the module is installed and enabled:

bin/magento module:status SoftCommerce_PlentyCore

You should see output confirming the module is enabled.

Marketplace vs Direct Purchase​

Key Differences​

SupportVia MarketplaceDirect Support
LicensingMarketplace TermsDirect License

Which Should I Use?​

  • Use Marketplace Installation if you purchased through Commerce Marketplace
  • Use Direct Installation if you purchased directly from SoftCommerce website

Both methods install the same extension with identical functionality.

Troubleshooting​

Authentication Fails​

If you receive authentication errors with repo.magento.com:

  1. Verify your Marketplace access keys are correct
  2. Ensure you've accepted the Marketplace terms for Mage2Plenty
  3. Check that your Marketplace account is in good standing
  4. Try regenerating your access keys

Extension Not Found​

If Composer can't find the package:

  1. Ensure you've purchased the extension from Marketplace
  2. Log in to Marketplace and verify the purchase appears in "My Purchases"
  3. Wait a few minutes after purchase (sometimes takes time to sync)
  4. Contact Marketplace support if the issue persists

Version Conflicts​

If Composer reports dependency conflicts:

  1. Update your Magento installation to the latest patch version
  2. Try specifying a compatible Mage2Plenty version explicitly
  3. Run composer update --dry-run to see what would change
  4. Check Magento Version Compatibility

Memory Limit Errors​

If you encounter memory limit errors during installation:

# Increase memory limit temporarily
php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/bin/composer require softcommerce/mage2plenty-os

Updating from Marketplace​

To update the extension to the latest version:

composer update softcommerce/mage2plenty-os  # or mage2plenty-ac
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento cache:flush
Check for Updates

We release updates every two weeks. Check the Changelog regularly or enable notifications in your Marketplace account to stay informed.

Now that you have Mage2Plenty installed, you can proceed to configure your connector:

  1. 📋 Initial Setup - Complete the initial configuration
  2. ⚙️ System Configuration - Configure connection settings
  3. 📊 Profile Setup - Set up synchronization profiles
