Advanced Configuration

Synchronizing User Groups from Unidy to Shopware

Unidy user groups can be synchronized with Shopware and assigned specific rights such as discounts, pre-sale access, or other privileges. This is achieved by creating a custom subscriber that listens to two events:

Available Events:

UnidyOauthScopes - Extends the requested scopes from Unidy
UnidyCustomerObjectBuild - Extends the generated customer mapping with additional fields

Example Use Case:
Sync active membership status to Shopware custom fields to enable member-specific pricing or product access.

Note: These events are available starting from version 1.2.3 of the plugin. To apply this approach to existing users, ensure that the plugin settings are configured to update user data on login.

Custom Data Mapping

Beyond standard fields (name, email, address), you can map custom Unidy attributes to Shopware customer custom fields. This allows you to:

Store membership numbers in Shopware
Sync custom customer preferences
Track member-specific data for analytics
Enable conditional business logic based on Unidy data

Unidy ID in Shopware

The Unidy ID is stored in Shopware but not displayed in the UI. It can be accessed via:

Database: Separate entity type fuexc_unidy_user
Code: Association unidyUser on CustomerEntity
API: Entity name fuexc_unidy_user in API responses

When calling up a customer via Shopware Administration, the Unidy user entity with corresponding data appears in the API response under included.

Logout Synchronization

When activated, logging out from Shopware will also log the customer out from Unidy, ensuring a consistent experience across all integrated platforms.

Setup:
To enable this feature, whitelist your Shopware store's post-logout redirect URI in your Unidy instance under Admin → Settings → Settings → User flow settings.
