Installing the SalesWarp Magento connector will allow you to utilize the advanced features of the SalesWarp Order Management system in your Magento store.

Prerequisites:

There are a few things that need to be verified prior to installing the plugin in order to ensure it will work correctly.

1. Check that your Magento version is compatible with the plugin (CE 1.6.2, CE 1.7, CE, 1.8, CE 1.9)
2. Verify that you have Search Engine Optimization ("SEO") friendly URLs enabled in your Magento Store
3. Ensure that you have access to the Magento Connect Manager within your Magento store

If you are missing one of the prerequisites or need help checking for them, feel free to contact our sales team for help, and if you are lucky you may even get to talk to one of our world-class engineers (They are pretty awesome). If you already know that you meet the prerequisites you can proceed to install.

How to check what version of Magento your store is running:

The SalesWarp Order Management plugin has been tested to work with the following versions of Magento: CE 1.6.2, CE 1.7, CE, 1.8, CE 1.9. If you already know what version of Magento your store is running you can skip this step.

1. Using your store's admin credentials, login to the admin panel of your Magento store.
2. Once you have successfully logged in, on your stores main admin dashboard page scroll to the very bottom. In the light grey area directly in the center you should see your Magento version number.

The Magento version number can be found in the footer of the admin dashboard directly in the center of the grey area

How to check if SEO friendly URLs are enabled in your Magento Store:

There is a good chance if you are running an eCommerce Magento store that you already have SEO friendly URLs enabled. If you already know that SEO friendly URLs are enabled you can skip this step and move on to the next one.

1. Using your store's admin credentials, login to the admin panel of your Magento Store.
2. In the navigation bar at the top of the page hover over the word 'System' and, in the menu that appears, click on the word 'Configuration' at the bottom. This will take you to your Magento default Configuration Settings page.

   

   Hover over 'System'

   

   Click 'Configuration'

3. On the left hand side of the Configuration Settings page you will see a set of headings and sub-menus. Look for the heading that says 'General' and click the link below it that says 'Web'.

   

   Click on the 'Web' option

4. After clicking on the 'Web' option the right hand side of the page will show a number of different headings. Clicking on these headings will expand them to show you a set of configurable options. Look for the heading that says 'Search Engines Optimization'. If it is not already expanded, click to show its options.
5. Look for the configuration option that says 'Use Web Server Rewrites'. It should be the only option under the 'Search Engines Optimization' heading. Make sure the drop down is set to 'Yes'. 

How to check that you have access to the Magento Connect Manager for your store:

The Magento Connect Manager is where you can install, reinstall, or uninstall Magento plugins. It is important that you have access to this in order to install the SalesWarp Order Management plugin.

1. Using your store's admin credentials, login to the admin panel of your Magento Store.
2. In the navigation bar at the top of the page hover over the word 'System' and, in the menu that appears, hover over the word 'Magento Connect'. This will display a submenu. In this submenu click the link that says 'Magento Connect Manager'.
