Re: connectors for Odoo 12
by
Guewen Baconnier
Hi,
I completely agree with Frederik's very complete answer.
What I can add: as an author of one of this module (Magento) and having worked on the Prestashop one, I try to discourage such project to happen because:
* The overall technical complexity is very high. I always tried to limit the complexity by focusing on a few synchronizations, but clients have a hard time understanding this complexity is an issue and would like all the models to be sync'ed, in 2 ways of course. I totally get this from their point of view, but it shows the limit of such architecture.
* The functional complexity for users is too high as well, mainly because of the fact data is replicated in tools, with different data models and that it needs synchronization.
What I observe too, but maybe it's a bias based on our current clients, is that we have more and more clients building their own e-commerce shop (point 6 of Frederik), and what they expect in Odoo is therefore a strong API (which can be provided by base_rest and the shopinvader endpoints).

Hi Andrei, they are many. 1.) Odoo e-Commerce got robust 2.) Many predominantely Indian Partners contributed some form of App Connectors to almost everything under apps.odoo.com (some do somehow work, some do work if you customize them havily, some don't work). Non of the uses the connector framwork (of the OCA) 3.) Akretion invented Shopinvader and contriuted it (absolutely worth to look at) 4.) Transition from Magento 1 to Magento 2, Transisiton from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 5.) A whole lot of technical reasons on load balanc, synchronisation etc. to be considered 6.) classical shops are less and less important because all you need is fast search, a catalog system, payment service integration and a cart and many serious e-commerce companies nowadays use Vue, React and Elastic instead of e-Commerce haviweights like Magento, Shopware, Prestashop... All in all i think we are just some 5-7 years down the line and to do serious E-Commerce projects first question you should as as an implementing partner is. What is the scope of the project... And than the whole technical part becomes much more diverse than 5 years ago where most people seemed to naturally answer (Magento, Shopware, Prestashop or WooCommerce) because they had most experience with that However these are just my 50 cent and there do exist many other takes on the matter certainly. But if you port a connector to prestashop please consider putting it under OCA umbrella. This would be definitely beneficial for you AND the community Best Frederik Am Mittwoch, den 03.06.2020, 09:22 +0000 schrieb Andrei Levin: > Dear community, > > We are working to port connector-prestashop from Odoo-10 to Odoo-12. > We were looking for examples and we found that many other connectors > also remained on Odoo-10 (connector-magento, connector-exchange). > Is there a particular reason for this? > Is there a complete example of any connector working on Odoo-12? > > Thank you > Andrei > -- > Didotech Srl > > Via Vigonovese, 170 > 35127 Padova (PD) > > Tel 049 8592286 > Cell.: 347-2426694 > www.didotech.com > _______________________________________________ > Mailing-List: https://odoo-community.org/groups/connectors-30 > Post to: mailto:connectors@odoo-community.org > Unsubscribe: https://odoo-community.org/groups?unsubscribe -- Dr.-Ing.
