Channable CLI Commands for Magento 2

Channable Connect provides several CLI commands for managing the extension from the command line. These are useful for automation, debugging, and running tasks outside of cron.

Available Commands

channable:selftest

Runs a series of diagnostic tests to verify your configuration is correct.

bin/magento channable:selftest

Output: Shows each test with its result (success/error) and a message explaining the status.

Use this when:

• Setting up the extension for the first time
• Troubleshooting connection issues
• Verifying configuration after changes

channable:item:update

Manually pushes invalidated products to Channable. This is the same action that runs via cron.

# Update all enabled stores
bin/magento channable:item:update

# Update specific store only
bin/magento channable:item:update --store-id=1

Options:

Output: Shows the number of products updated per store.

Use this when:

• You need immediate sync without waiting for cron
• Debugging product update issues
• After bulk catalog changes

channable:order:simulate

Creates a test order to verify your order import configuration.

# Basic test order (required: store-id)
bin/magento channable:order:simulate --store-id=1

# Test with specific product
bin/magento channable:order:simulate --store-id=1 --product-id=42

# Test with quantity
bin/magento channable:order:simulate --store-id=1 --product-id=42 --qty=3

# Test with different country
bin/magento channable:order:simulate --store-id=1 --country-code=DE

# Test FBB/LVB order
bin/magento channable:order:simulate --store-id=1 --lvb=1

Options:

Output: Shows the created order increment ID on success, or error message on failure.

Use this when:

• Testing order import configuration
• Verifying shipping method assignment
• Testing before going live with a marketplace

channable:generate:token

Generates a new API token for Channable connections. The token is used in feed and webhook URLs.

# Generate token (fails if token already exists)
bin/magento channable:generate:token

# Force regenerate token
bin/magento channable:generate:token --force=1

Options:

Important: After regenerating the token, you must update all connections in Channable with the new feed/webhook URLs.

Use this when:

• Initial setup (token is auto-generated, rarely needed)
• Security concerns (token may have been exposed)
• Troubleshooting authentication issues
