Overview

Product Catalog

Documentation: Flow Product Catalog

This module automatically syncs product information to Flow in two ways:

1. Product creations, updates, and deletes are queued with an observer. This queue is processed with a cron task every minute, with additional workers spawned every minute the queue is not empty.
2. There is a cron task that syncs the entire product catalog to Flow. By default, this will sync twice per day for production Flow organizations only.

Price Localization

Documentation: Flow.js Product Localization

Localized prices generated via the Flow pricing engine are cached in the same JSON configurations that standard Magento 2 pricing information is stored. To enable this price localization caching as well as the applicable RequireJS mixins, select "Yes" on the "Enable Catalog Price Localization" field in your Magento 2 configuration for Flow Commerce.

Alternatively, you can implement your own customized price localization solution by refering to the documentation.

Cart Localization

Documentation: Flow.js Cart Localization

Localized carts generated via the Flow order engine are rendered on the fly via FlowJS. To enable cart localization, select "Yes" on the "Enable Cart Localization" field in your Magento 2 configuration for Flow Commerce.

Alternatively, you can implement your own customized price localization solution by refering to the documentation.

Country Picker

Documentation: Flow Country Picker

The Flow Country Picker can be automatically installed into the top left of your header. To enable this, select "Yes" on the "Enable Country Picker" field in your Magento 2 configuration for Flow Commerce.

Alternatively, you can leave "Enable Country Picker" set to "No" and Flow's Country Picker JS file is still be available for a custom integration.

Checkout UI (CUI)

Documentation: Flow Checkout UI

Once you have Magento 2 Catalog items synced with your Flow Organization's Product Catalog customers can be sent to Flow Hosted Checkout. Redirects to Flow Checkout UI can be automated via our Magento 2 Checkout controller interceptor. To enable this interceptor, select "Yes" on the "Redirect to Flow Checkout" field in your Magento 2 configuration for Flow Commerce.

Alternatively, you can leave "Redirect to Flow Checkout" set to "No" and implement sending your customers to this redirect controller manually. For example, creating a link to this path:

BASE_URL/flowconnector/checkout/redirecttoflow?country=FRA

For more information on customizing Flow's CUI please refer to Customizing Checkout UI.

Discounts

Discounts are calculated and applied according to the rules of your Magento 2 store's base currency and applied as a percentage of the line item row total. Magento 2 discounts applied to shipping costs are not applied to Flow orders.

Webhook Processing

Documentation: Flow Webhook

Upon configuring this module with your Flow credentials, the module configures a set of webhooks to receive event data from Flow. These webhook events are queued and processed with a cron task. For example, after a customer submits an order through Flow Checkout UI, a series of webhook events are be sent to Magento 2 with detailed order and payment information.
