• Sellers can sync their WooCommerce Store’s Products with the admin’s Store.
• Your seller needs to have a WooCommerce Store to use this feature. Sellers can import the products from their store to the admin’s store.
• Also, allow your sellers to import their products using any of the 3 distinctive methods i.e. by selecting the date range, by product ID, or by Product Slug.
• Initially, the imported product will be in a pending state at both the admin and seller side.

Feature Apps:

So, once you click on the Enable button, you need to agree with the charges of USD 25 per month over and above your current Multivendor Plan.

Product Detail Configuration

Now, the admin needs to select the Woocommerce connector from the “Connector Configuration” menu.

Go to Configuration>>Product Detail Configuration>>Select the Connector from the drop-down menu.

Note:- Now, Auto approve product functionality will also work for products imported through the Woocommerce connector features app.

Auto approve product option, you can enable from admin panel >> configuration >> product configuration.

Orders can now be created in Seller’s Woo Commerce store through the WooCommerce Connector feature app.

You can choose if you want to create an order on the seller’s WooCommerce Store or not. For this, you need to visit the admin panel>>Connector Configuration>>Enable Sync Order tab.

Thus, the order created in your store will get synced with the seller’s store.

Once you enable this feature on your marketplace, a new menu gets added in the configuration section. i.e. WooCommerce Configuration.

Here in this section, Sellers need to provide their respective WooCommerce details so that they can sync their WooCommerce store’s products to admin’s Shopify Store.

Your sellers need the following details:

-Firstly Seller needs to enter his/her WooCommerce Store URL from where he/she wants to sync the products.

-Select the Weight Unit of WooCommerce Store’s products.

-Enter the API key and Secret key.

SELLER PANEL

Enter Language ISO Code

If the seller has any language restriction on their respective WooCommerce store, they can add ISO code of the language in the option provided:-

Suppose if the seller’s store is in English language, enter ISO as “en” else, enter “all” if the seller’s WooCommerce store supports multi-languages.

In Order to get the API key and secret key, Sellers need to login to their WordPress account and visit the WooCommerce store.

From there, Seller will get the path to generate the API key and the Secret Key:

Login to WordPress>>Go to WooCommerce Settings>>Advanced>>REST API>>Add Key>>Click on Generate API Key>>From here seller will get the API Key as well as the Secret key.

Once done, Seller needs to register Webhook to update the Product Inventory automatically on Shopify Store once any order is created on his/her WooCommerce Store.

In addition to it, if an order is edited/deleted on WooCommerce, the same will be updated/deleted on the Multivendor App too.

So, to add Webhook, the seller needs to enter the Webhook name, Status, Topic, Login URL (where the payload is delivered).

Admin can now add 4 new webhooks as Product Created, Product Updated, Product Deleted and Order Created.

Follow the below-given Procedure:
WooCommerce>>Settings>>Advanced>>Webhooks>>Add Webhook>>Enter the above details>>Click on Save Webhook.

This is the complete configuration of this app.

Once done, let’s see how Sellers import Products from WooCommerce Store to admin’s Shopify Store.

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.

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.
