Coming back to the Multivendor App again, Seller can now map admin’s product Categories & Tags with his/her own WooCommerce categories & product tags.

Import Products from WooCommerce to Shopify
Now, after the configuration, sellers can easily sync their WooCommerce Store’s products to your Shopify store and thus on Marketplace.
Once the seller configures WooCommerce details on his/her end, he/she will get an option to Import Products. The seller can click on it to import the products from WooCommerce by using 3 different methods.
- Method 1. Import Products by choosing a Date Interval.
Seller can select a date range to import the product created in between the selected range. - Method 2. Import Products by Product IDs.
Seller can enter the comma-separated Product IDs and import all of them in one go. - Method 3. Import Products by Product Slug.
Seller can enter the Product’s slug and import that product.
Note:- Product Slug in WooCommerce is Product Handle in Shopify.

In this way, Sellers can import their Woo-Commerce Store’s products to admin’s Shopify Store.
Now, you can view the products in the Product Listing section of their respective panel.
Admin End


This is how the products will appear:-
Seller End

Here, the products will remain in Pending State until you approve or deny the product. This will update the products on seller’s side too.

Now, once the admin denies any product, he needs to mention the reason for the same.
Create Price Rule
Let the sellers create price rules to manage the product price of their WooCommerce store to the merchant’s store.
Now, the sellers will have a new menu named Connector Price Rule in the configuration menu of the app. From here, the seller can create price rules based on which seller’s product price will be calculated on the merchant’s store.

Now, clicking the Connector Price Rule, the seller needs to enable “Price Rule” status. Moreover, select the options as increase/decrease price. This will change the price by a fixed amount or a percentage amount.

Now, enable the checkbox to update the already synced product’s price at the merchant’s store as per the price rule created.
This way, sellers can create price rules from their respective seller panels based on which you will get the product price on your store.
So, this is all about Multivendor Marketplace WooCommerce Connector feature app.
