Woocommerce

Step 1 Setup ProfitSystem Support Data Within the ProfitSystem

For every category that will have e-commerce products, go to Inventory Categories and enter weight, width, height, and depth. You can use either a maximum weight for products that vary, or an average. These can be used by Woocommerce to compute shipping charges.

For every vendor that will be listed on e-commerce, go to Vendors. By default, the vendor name will appear in WooCommerce. If you want to use a different name, enter a new name under Alt. name. For example, if the vendor is 'Discount T-Shirts', you may not want that to appear on WooCommerce. You can enter an alternate name, such as the shop name to appear on the WooCommerce store.

Step 2 Setup Inventory

Finally, for each style code in the ProfitSystem that will be sold online, do the following:

Add one or more pictures via the Images tab of the Retail Inventory form. Images in ProfitSystemn must have URLs to the image on the internet for the images to be used by WooCommerce. When adding an image to the ProfitSystem, if you import using a URL in the clipboard, then the image URL is saved to ProfitSystem. If you upload the image directly, there is no URL. So, when importing images into the ProfitSystem, try to import from the URL in the clipboard from the vendor web site. If the image was taken via a camera or phone locally, you'll need to share the image using a public URL that can be accessed from the internet, and then import the image into ProfitSystem using that URL.

Select the correct Sold via on the E-Commerce tab of the Retail Inventory form.

  • Blank or nothing selected: Style is sold normally from the ProfitSystem, and will not be uploaded to WooCommerce.
  • In store only: Style is sold normally from the ProfitSystem, and will not be uploaded to WooCommerce.
  • Web only: Style will be uploaded to WooCommerce, and a warning will be shown on the Ticket form if the product is sold directly in the ProfitSystem.
  • In store+web: Style is sold normally from the ProfitSystem, and will also be uploaded to WooCommerce.
  • Catalog only: Style is sold normally from the ProfitSystem, and will also be uploaded to WooCommerce. Catalog only is not supported for WooCommerce and is treated the same as In store+web.

Enter the E-Commerce sales description on the E-Commerce tab of the Retail Inventory form. This will become the Description on WooCommerce. HTML formatting is available, and hyper-links to external pages can be included, for sizing charts or vendor pages, for example.

If the Price field is set to 0 or left blank, Price 1 from the Style tab is used.

Step 3 Batch Export

  1. In the ProfitSytem go to Inventory->Big Commerce Upload, or with the switchboards go to Housekeeping->WooCommerce Export.
  2. There are options to only upload certain categories, vendors, or Sold via. Select at least one criteria.
  3. If the details are correct, click the Export Styles button.
  4. When it finishes, it will display a message telling you the CSV export file it created.
  5. To import the styles into WooCommerce, follow the guide here
