Product Syncing, the most important feature for Woocommerc Vendorsync
The most important feature for Woocommerce Vendorsync is Product mapping. It is a valuable method for synchronizing products between the vendor’s store and the merchant’s store.
In the process, the vendor takes the initiative to choose the specific products they intend to offer on the merchant’s website. This involves carefully selecting the products that align with their offerings and target audience. Following that, the vendor establishes a mapping between the products listed on their own website and the corresponding products available on the merchant’s platform.
This mapping ensures that the vendor’s products are correctly synchronized with the relevant listings on the merchant’s website, facilitating seamless integration and accurate representation of the vendor’s offerings to the merchant’s customers.
Conditions for a product to be imported into the multivendor app as well as on Shopify stores:-
- The product should be either “simple” or “variable” product.
- The product should be published(status) on the vendor Woocommerce store.
- There cannot be more than 3 options/attributes on a product because Shopify allows only up to 3 options from which you can create different variants.
- The number of variants/variations cannot be more than 100 as Shopify allows only up to 100 variants.
- The product should not be “downloadable”, “digital“ or “virtual“.
- The product should be “purchasable” (Product should have quantity / price).
Inventory Syncing
Inventory syncing between a vendor’s store and a merchant’s store is a crucial aspect of maintaining accurate and up-to-date product information across platforms. By synchronizing inventory, vendors can ensure that their product availability, stock levels, and other relevant details are consistent with the merchant’s store. This facilitates a seamless customer experience and prevents issues such as overselling or displaying incorrect stock information.
Order Push
With the Shopify integration, an efficient feature is available that enables automatic order information push from the Merchant store to the Vendor store for seamless fulfillment.
When an order is received on the Merchant store, this feature triggers the automatic transfer of order details to the Vendor store. This ensures that the Vendor is promptly notified by an email and can begin the fulfillment process.
To fulfill order from woocommerce, vendor needs to update tracking details like this,
Go to the order which vendor want to fulfill then go to the section of metadata like below image:
After adding tracking details(tracking number, url, carrier) you have to update the order by clicking on update this way vendor can fulfill the order,
Once the Vendor fulfill the order, including providing tracking details, this information is automatically pushed back to the Merchant store. This integration streamlines the order fulfillment process, eliminates manual data entry, and enables both the Merchant and Vendor to stay updated on the order status and tracking information, enhancing customer satisfaction.
Vendors have the capability to update orders directly on their vendor store, and the changes made to specific order properties are automatically pushed to the corresponding order on the merchant store. However, it’s important to note that this functionality is designed for modifying order details and properties, and does not include the ability to edit the items within an order.
