Step 3. Enter Odoo Credentials 

You will be prompted for the URL, Database, Username, and Password associated with your Odoo account. 

 Once you have added all of your Odoo credentials, click 'Save' and you have successfully completed the integration!

Step 3.1 Username and Password 

Use the Username and Password that have admin access to your Odoo website. 

These credentials should have the necessary permissions to allow SyncSpider to access and manage data within your Odoo instance.

Step 3.2 Finding the Database Name 

To locate your Odoo Database Name, you have a few options and can use one of the following methods:

Option 1: Go to My Databases 

Log in to your Odoo account, click on your username (e.g., 'TEST shown below') in the top right corner, and select 'My Databases' from the dropdown menu.

After clicking on 'My Databases,' you’ll be taken to a page like the one shown below, where you can view the name of the database connected to your store's domain. 

Option 2: Activate Developer Mode 

To activate developer mode, open the Settings app in Odoo, navigate to the Developer Tools section, and click on 'Activate Developer Mode.' 

Once activated, you’ll see the database name displayed at the top right of the screen, near your username.

Option 3: Using the URL Endpoint

If you access Odoo through a URL like my-company.odoo.com, you can find the database name embedded in the URL, typically in the format my-company-XXXXXXX, where XXXXXXX varies with each build.

Option 4: Enable Debug Mode

Add ?debug=1 to the end of the URL just after /web, so it looks like this: 

https://my-company.odoo.com/web?debug=1

Reload the page, and the database name will appear next to your username.

Step 3.3 URL 

The URL is the web address you use to access your Odoo instance. 

This is typically formatted as https://[your-company-name].odoo.com or https://[custom-domain].com if you are using a custom domain for your Odoo instance or use the link to your http://[database_name].myodoo.at website that you have previously configured. 

Additional Information:

Please be aware of the following crucial point regarding Odoo hosting and its compatibility with SyncSpider.

If you, as a client, are utilizing the Odoo free hosting option, SyncSpider will not be able to import data from your Odoo account. This is because Odoo's free hosting plan does not support the necessary API calls that SyncSpider requires for the import process.

To enable SyncSpider to make these API calls, you need to be on a Custom Odoo hosting plan, or you must have your own hosting solution that supports these API calls.

Importantly, upgrading your Odoo plan does not automatically shift your hosting from shared to custom. You would remain on the same shared hosting post-upgrade unless you opt for other hosting alternatives such as Odoo.sh or self-hosting.

This means that just upgrading your Odoo plan will not necessarily resolve compatibility issues with SyncSpider. So when using Odoo and SyncSpider, it is always necessary to double-check your hosting type. Having a hosting plan that supports the requisite API calls is paramount for successful data import with SyncSpider.
