1. Go to [Channable’s Connect extension](https://marketplace.magento.com/magmodules-magento2-channable.html).
2. For **Edition**, select **Magento Open Source**. For **Your store version**, select **2.4 (Magento Open Source)**.
3. Click **Add to cart**, click the cart icon, then click **Proceed to checkout**.
4. Click **Sign in with Adobe ID**. If needed, click **Create an account** to create a free account. You only need this account to download the plugin.
5. In the **Marketplaces** section, go to **Access Keys**. Find your **Public Key** and **Private Key** for **Magento Marketplace**.
1. If you don't have keys, click **Create a new access key**. Enter a descriptive name, then click **Generate new**.
6. Make note of the **Public Key** and **Private key** as you’ll need them to install the plugin.
7. Continue with [step 2 of this guide](https://www.magmodules.eu/help/magento2-channable-connect/install-using-marketplace.html).
Option 2: Install using FTP and SSH (recommended for developers)

{% step %}
### Configure the plugin in Magento 2
1. Log in to your Magento backend.
2. In the sidebar, click **Channable**.
3. In **Configuration**, select **Product feed**. This page shows the product attributes sent to Channable.
4. Map each attribute to its corresponding field.
{% hint style="info" %}
Under **Advanced Options**, add attributes to improve your data quality.
{% endhint %}
5. Scroll to **Feeds**. For the storefront you want to add, click **Auto Connect with Channable**.
This redirects you to Channable and creates a connection with the required information. Log in to Channable if needed.
6. Click **Save** to save the connection.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Set up your Magento import
1. In Channable, open the project where you want to import product data.
2. Go to **Setup > Import** > **+ Choose import method** > **Magento**.
3. Under **Choose an existing connection or create a new one**, select the Magento connection you created.
4. Enter a descriptive connection name. For several storefronts, include the store name and locale. For example: `STORE NAME - EN`.
5. Click **Connect with Magento**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Map your product data to project fields
The **Import mapping** page shows fields from your Magento 2 account, such as `price`, `description`, and `title`.
Match these fields to Channable's standard project fields. Review the automatic mappings before importing.
{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

* Review your **Imported data fields** against the matched **Project fields**. Select a different project field if a match is incorrect.
2. **Check and correct field types.**
* Click **Edit** next to a field with the wrong type. Select the correct type, then click **Save & Import**.
3. **Exclude fields (optional).**
* Select the field in the **Select** column, then select the **Exclude** checkbox.
4. Confirm that the import fields are mapped to the correct project fields.
5. Click **Save & Import** when you are ready.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/import-data/import-how-to/import-your-product-data/import-via-a-webshop/magento-2.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
