Troubleshooting

  • If an error occurs when clicking Allow. First, check if you are logged out of your Price2Spy account. If so and then an error occurs. You need to delete the made connection, then make a new connection. Following all steps only the Callback URL and Identity Link URL fields remain blank. After that, when you click on Allow again, a window with 4 tokens will open. Those tokens as well as the store URL need to be sent to the manager. You can see additional documentation for this issue https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/get-started/authentication/gs-authentication-token.html#integration-tokens
  • When a new window opens, after clicking on Allow in Magento admin, and you log in there, there is a possibility that then the connection to your Magento 2.x will not work. If it happens that it is not connected, then it is necessary to do one of the two actions:
  • First action: Close this new window and open a new one and log in to your Price2Spy account. After that, you need to click on 'Integrations/Link My Store' and then Magento and Price2Spy will connect as in the picture.
  • Second action: Delete the cache data in the browser and then do the first action.
