In this article, you will learn how to configure your M2E Pro on a global level. You can manage your Channel Integrations, provide general price and quantity settings, define your interface and log history preferences, update an Extension Key, etc. Let's look at the available options.

Go to Stores > Settings > Configuration > M2E Pro.

...

...

Module & Channels

Here you can manage the Module and Automatic Synchronization running, as well as enable Channels you want to sell on.

...

Interface & Magento Inventory

Provide global settings for the Module Interface, Inventory, Price, Variational Product management, and direct Database Changes.

...

Interface

Set the visual interface preferences:

• Products Thumbnails — to show/not show product thumbnails.

• Help Information — to show/not show Help info.

Quantity & Price

Specify the general Quantity settings:

• Manage Stock "No", Backorders — enable if you are going to allow backorders for a product or do not manage stock in Magento.

Specify general Price settings:

• Convert Magento Price Attribute — automatic conversion of Magento Price Attribute values.

It allows selling on the different regional marketplaces without a need to recalculate the Prices/Costs in local currency.

If you are going to list your Product on the Marketplaces which have different Base Currency and Product Price/Shipping Cost value or Shipping Surcharge (for eBay only) are set to be taken from Magento Attribute with Price input type, enable the automatic currency conversion first.

Variational Product Settings

Choose how M2E Pro will list Magento Grouped Products on the Channel.

• Product Set - a group of Products will be listed as a Set (Individual Item). Customers can purchase products only as a set. Read this article for details. Or watch this video to see how Product Sets work.

• Variations - a group of Products will be listed as a Variational Item. Customers can purchase each option of Variational Product separately.

By default, M2E Pro lists Magento Grouped Product as a Single Item on the Channel.

Direct Database Changes

• Track Direct Database Changes – tracking of Product Price/Quantity changes which are made to the database directly.

Tracking of the direct Database changes is time- and resource-consuming and may affect the performance of your Magento Site and Synchronization with Channels. Set 'Yes' only in case of extreme necessity when the use of other predefined M2E Pro Models is impossible for some reason.

Logs Clearing

Extension key

License

M2E Pro Extension requires activation for its work. License Key activates and identifies your M2E Pro Extension.

The License Key is strictly connected to the particular Domain and IP. Their validation prevents problems, such as the creation of Item duplicates in the case of Magento relocation.

License

...

M2E Pro Extension requires activation for its work. License Key activates and identifies your M2E Pro Extension. You can find the License Key-related information for your current M2E Pro in Walmart Integration > Configuration > Settings > License section.
The License Key is strictly connected to the particular Domain and IP. Their validation prevents problems, such as the creation of Item duplicates in the case of Magento relocation. For example, duplicated Items can be created after you change the server, and synchronization continues working on both old and new server. Thus, the same License Key cannot be used for different domains, sub-domains, and IPs.
