Install the Amazon Connector Authentication Update
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
Starting July 2020, the Amazon Connector requires the use of a new authentication
|
|
method that makes it easier for you to set up the Connector.
|
|
|
|
Prior to the update, Odoo customers who wished to use the Amazon Connector had
|
|
to apply to get developer credentials through Amazon, which was a painful and long
|
|
process that could take weeks. This method of authentication is still technically
|
|
possible, but Amazon will refuse to provide developer credentials for Odoo customers
|
|
from July 2020 onwards and will deactivate such credentials for existing customers.
|
|
|
|
This documentation will help you install the update and use the new authentication
|
|
flow.
|
|
|
|
Note that if your Odoo database was first created after the update was released, the
|
|
update module is installed automatically. You can check if this module is already installed
|
|
by going to the **Apps** menu, removing the ``Apps`` search facet and search for ``amazon``.
|
|
If the module **Amazon/Authentication Patch** is present and marked as installed, your Odoo
|
|
database is already up-to-date and you can proceed with the :doc:`setup <setup>` step
|
|
of the Amazon Connector.
|
|
|
|
Update Odoo to the latest release
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
The new authentication mechanism is made available through a new Odoo module; to
|
|
be able to install it, you must make sure that your Odoo source code is up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
If you use Odoo on Odoo.com or Odoo.sh platform, your code is already up-to-date and
|
|
you can proceed to the next step.
|
|
|
|
If you use Odoo with an on-premise setup or through a partner, then you must update
|
|
your installation as detailed in
|
|
`this documentation page <https://www.odoo.com/documentation/14.0/setup/update.html>`_
|
|
or by contacting your integrating partner.
|
|
|
|
Update the list of available modules
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
New modules must be *discovered* by your Odoo instance to be available in the **Apps**
|
|
menu.
|
|
|
|
To do so, activate the :doc:`Developer Mode <../../../general/developer_mode/activate>`, and go to
|
|
:menuselection:`Apps --> Update Apps List`. A wizard will ask for confirmation.
|
|
|
|
Install the Amazon/Authentication Patch
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
You should never install new modules in your production database without testing
|
|
them in a duplicate or staging environment. For Odoo.com customers, a duplicate database
|
|
can be created from the database management page as explained in
|
|
:doc:`this documentation page <../../db_management/db_online>`. For
|
|
Odoo.sh users, you should use a staging or duplicate database. For on-premise users,
|
|
you should use a staging environment - you should contact your integrating partner for
|
|
more information regarding how to test a new module in your particular setup.
|
|
|
|
The module should now be available in your **Apps** menu. Remove the ``Apps`` search facet
|
|
and search for ``amazon``; the module **Amazon/Authentication Patch** should be available for
|
|
installation. If you cannot find the module after having updated the list of available
|
|
modules, it means your Odoo source code is not up-to-date; refer to step one of this
|
|
page.

|
Once the module is installed, you will need to generate an Authorization Token in Amazon
|
|
Seller Central and set it up on your Amazon Account in Odoo; this process is detailed
|
|
in the :doc:`setup <setup>` page.
