To connect Odoo with SilverStripe, you’ll need to build a custom integration using APIs, as there’s no official connector available.
Steps:
-
Use Odoo REST API or XML-RPC
-
Odoo exposes data via XML-RPC and JSON-RPC endpoints.
-
You can fetch or send data (e.g., products, users, orders) from/to Odoo.
-
Use SilverStripe's REST client or Guzzle
-
SilverStripe (built in PHP) can use libraries like Guzzle to make HTTP requests to Odoo's API.
-
Authentication
-
Authenticate using Odoo's common endpoint to get a session.
-
Then use object endpoint for CRUD operations.
-
Example Use Cases
-
Sync products or users between Odoo and SilverStripe
-
Push online form submissions into Odoo (e.g., as leads or contacts)
If you don’t want to build from scratch, consider using middleware like Zapier, Make (Integromat), or a custom Node.js/PHP bridge to simplify the process.
