Purpose

This documentation covers the installation, configuration, and functionality of Hibou's Walmart Connector module for Odoo.

Getting Started

The first step is to install the module. To do so, navigate to the Apps application..


Once there, remove the 'Apps' filter, then search for 'Walmart Connector'. When you're ready, click install.


Good to Know!

This module requires the Invoicing, Products & Pricelists, Delivery Costs, Sales and Warehouse Management, and Connector for E-Commerce modules. However, if you do not already have these modules installed, Odoo will install them for you during this module's installation.

All `connector` modules require a significant number of OCA modules as well as python packages. For the easiest time, use the bundled/linked versions of all of the libraries found in this repository and Hibou's maintained Docker Images.

Editing Configuration Files

Configuration Files: Your Odoo configuration (typically at /etc/odoo/odoo.conf ) will need a couple of things to function properly.

Add `queue_job` as a server wide module like so

server_wide_modules = web,queue_job

Configure the number of queue workers by appending a section like this to the end of your file.

[queue_job]
channels = root:1,root.magento:1,root.walmart:1

Important!

Make sure that you restart your Odoo installation after getting all of the requirements and configuration in order.
