This instruction describes how to create a connection, platforms and products that are required for enabling TradeLocker functionalities via the the B2CORE Back Office.
For managing live and demo trading accounts, you need to create one connection to TradeLocker, but configure two separate platforms and products.
After creating user groups in TradeLocker, they aren't automatically available to systems where TradeLocker is integrated. To make them visible, please contact TradeLocker support with a corresponding request.
To configure a connection to TradeLocker in the B2CORE Back Office:
Navigate to System > External connections.
Click +Create in the upper-right page corner.
On the Create connection page, fill in the following fields:
In the Name field, enter a name for the connection. The name must be unique.
In the Caption field, enter a caption that will be applied to the connection in the Back Office.
In the Provider dropdown, select TradeLocker.
Click Save to create the connection.
The TradeLocker connection will appear in the list of external connections.
Click Edit to enter the connection details and complete the following fields:
In the API Base URL field, specify https://api.tradelocker.com.
In the API Key field, specify your API key provided by TradeLocker. This key is used to authenticate requests to the API.
The Trading Terminals section displays the URLs of the TradeLocker live and demo terminals. In the B2CORE UI, when clients click the Trade button on the account card, they are redirected to the corresponding terminal, enabling them to start trading in one click.
Check the connection status.
If the connection is inactive (No is displayed in the Enabled field), activate it by setting the Enabled dropdown to Yes.
Click Save to apply the changes.
To manage live and demo trading accounts, create two separate platforms for TradeLocker in the B2CORE Back Office.

Navigate to Products > Groups.
Click +Create in the upper-right page corner.

To create a product for TradeLocker:

TradeLocker — if you create a product for managing live accounts
TradeLocker Demo — if you create a product for managing demo accounts
In the Create product popup, fill in the following fields:
In the Platform Group dropdown, select the appropriate group existing on your TradeLocker server. TradeLocker accounts created based on this product via B2CORE will be assigned to this group.
In the Currency dropdown, select one or more currencies that you want to enable for the product.
In the Name field, enter a name that you want to use for the product.
In the Type dropdown, select:
Trade — if you create a product for managing live accounts

Click Save to proceed.
On the Edit product page, specify the following product settings:

The default rights will be assigned to TradeLocker accounts created automatically when the Auto creation on login option is triggered.
In the Max accounts field, enter an integer value to define the maximum number of TradeLocker accounts that a client can create for each currency added to the product.
For example, if USD and EUR are added as currencies to the product and the Max accounts option is set to 1, the client can create one account in USD and one account in EUR based on this product.
To set no limit on the number of accounts, specify -1.
To forbid clients to create accounts, specify 0.
In the Mail dropdown, select Don't send. This option is required to ensure that email notifications in B2CORE work correctly using the designated TradeLockerUserCreated email template.
In the Start amount field, specify the amount that will be automatically deposited to demo TradeLocker accounts upon their creation.
In the Min deposit amount (USD) field, you can optionally specify the minimum deposit, in USD, required to create a TradeLocker account based on this product.
In the Auto creation on login dropdown, select:
Yes — to automatically create TradeLocker accounts based on the product settings when clients first sign in to the B2CORE UI.
No — to create TradeLocker accounts based on this product manually.
In the Agreement link field, specify a link to the document to which clients must consent in order to open TradeLocker accounts via the B2CORE UI.
In the Link info field, specify a link to a resource with additional product information, which clients can access when creating TradeLocker accounts via the B2CORE UI.
On the Currencies tab, you can review the currency associated with the product and add more currencies if necessary.
After configuring the product settings, activate it by selecting Enabled in the Status dropdown.
Click Save to create the product.
TradeLocker accounts can now be created based on the product via the Back Office or B2CORE UI. Any changes to product settings will directly impact how the product is displayed and functions for clients in the B2CORE UI.
