Usage

To establish a connection to server you have to provide the required connection parameters to dotConnect for Magento. This information is used by MagentoConnection component to connect to Magento. The parameters are represented as a connection string. You can compose the connection string manually or have dotConnect for Magento construct it for you.

The following connection string parameters are required:

Domain - The address of your Magento store;

User Id - The user name to login with;

Service Version - Magento version to connect to - 1.x or 2.x. If you omit this parameter, dotConnect for Magento will try to connect, assuming that target is Magento 1.x;

API Key - An automatically generated key that is used for connecting to Magento 1.x. If you need to connect to Magento 2.x, use the Password parameter and specify your password instead;

Password - The password for your Magento 2.x account. If you need to connect to Magento 1.x, use the API Key parameter and specify your API Key instead.
