The Journey from Small Start to Big Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mario Panter started initially in 1997 by importing American transfer presses as a sideline. What initially began with the sale of individual transfer presses grew steadily over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Mario had moved out of his small hobby room in the attic, he continued to promote sales under the name of Print Equipment from a small hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some time he decided to go with online business because, with the help of online, he could expand his business rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he launched their eCommerce store on the Shopware platform<\/a> and started selling online worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Print<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shopware is a future-oriented open commerce platform it offers highly customizable and outstanding customer experiences innovates fast, and accelerates your development in the ever-evolving space of digital commerce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now they are a globally operating company in the field of transfer printing. They focus on long-term and personal relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did Webkul help Print Equipment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mr Philipp Knopfler IT application manager at Print Equipment contacted Webkul. He had a wide range of products and their data, he wanted to manage it the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was looking for a feature where he can manage a wide range of products and export all the products into their Shopware store. And as well as he had customization related to their product management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client conveys all their requirement to the Webkul team. After gathering requirements team analyzed point to point and start the customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Export Zip File From Akeneo to Shopware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The client was looking for an export zip file from Akeneo to Shopware<\/a>. Generally, Akeneo does not provide this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Print<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Webkul added this functionality, it allows the admin to export files added via a zip file in Akeneo’s file attribute to Shopware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to export your files, the process looks like this: The admin adds a file type and then uploads their zip folder as a single attachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The admin can then see all contents of the archive immediately on their product page, as well as download any attachments individually at any given time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Print<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After exporting the zip file it will be shown below on the product page. In this zip file, all the details are available related to the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Export the Metric type of Attribute.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The client wanted to export their products with the metric value and with that, he wanted to export with shortcuts of metric value such as Centimeter -> cm, Meter -> M and Kilogram –> kg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was not able to export with metric value because Akeneo does not provide this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Print<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As per the customer\u2019s requirements, Webkul has added a feature so now users can export products by using the value of the metric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Print<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After implementing this feature, customers using the print equipment can see the metric value of a product’s page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Export the Images With Product Variants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the client was exporting images with product variants, he was not able to export the images with product variants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever he exported the images with product variants he was not able to export individual variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Print<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As per the client’s requirement, Webkul customized the following company feature. Now the client is able to export images with proper product variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preview Image in Akeneo and Export it to the Shopware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The client wanted to set the preview image in Akeneo and export it to Shopware with the products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this requirement Webkul team customizes this feature and now clients can easily export their preview image from Akeneo to Shopware with the products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Export Filtrable Attribute value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The client was looking for a feature where he can manage filtrable(active or inactive) in the Shopware properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client had already a feature in Shopware where he can manage an Active or Inactive product list filter available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the client wanted this feature on the Akeneo end because while he will exporting the properties he could easily export active or inactive properties from the Akeneo end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when he will be exporting the properties then he would not need to select from the Shopware end. With this feature, the client wanted to save time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per the client’s requirement, the Webkul team implemented this feature. Now the client does not need to change property status from the Shopware end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He can export all their attributes(properties) with the filtrable value from the Akeneo end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
