Getting Started with eStyle

eStyle Central lets you create an e-commerce web site that lets you sell all the styles from the vendors that your shop carries. They have already done the work to enter the styles, the color charts, the size charts, and collect the images for the styles from many vendors in the industry.

When the style is sold, the QOH at eStyle Cental is updated automatically to match the QOH in the ProfitSystem if the following is true:

  • The style sold in the ProfitSystem uses a vendor that is linked to an eStyle Master Collection Id.

  • The color sold is valid for the vendor style.

  • For a given SCW, look up the color in the color chart. If it's found, get the color ID from the color chart item.

  • If the color is not found, try to lookup the color ID on estyle using the brand ID for the vendor, plus the vendor style and color.
  • If we have a color ID, then send the current QOH to estyle using the Color ID and the size of the SCW.

The QOH for all eStyle central styles in the ProfitSystem can be updated in bulk via the Setup->Import data->eStyle Inventory Sync option. This would be used after a physical inventory, when many quantities are changed. It can also be used if the QOH on eStyle Central get out of sync with the ProfitSystem for any reason.

Getting Started

You must have an account with eStyle Central to use the integration.

1) Log into eStyleCental with your provided Username and Password, and go to the General Settings link at the top. On the page that appears, click on the 'POS Integration' tab, and scroll down to 'BBL'.

2) Create your own BBL/eSC API Password from a combination of upper and lower case letters plus at least one number. Make a note of your password and the displayed BBL/eSC API Username.

3) FYI: Some eStyle accounts do not have access to the General Setting/BBL-POS integration. For those type of accounts the Username and password provided by eStyle will be used for the integration.

4) Start the ProfitSystem, and go to Setup->General Setup->Stores->E-Commerce/Integrations tab (or Housekeeping->General Setup->Stores->E-Commerce/Integrations tab), enter your ID and password under the 'eStyle Central' section, and click Save. Quit and then restart the ProfitSystem for that change to take effect.
ProfitSystem Multi-Store Consideration: By default the ProfitSystem updates the Quantity on Hand from a linked ProfitSystem style when it is sold or when the eStyle QOH synch utility is ran for the Register's store location. A eStyle setting is available on the Stores-> Integration tab -> One QOH? When checked this setting uploads the quantity for all stores for the style's size and color.

5) To to each vendor used on your eStyle site and select the eStyle master collection name using the lookup on the Integrations tab.

To get the master collection id, log into your eStyle dashboard. Go to Products and search for the style in question. The Master Collection ID is shown on the product. It is only shown if you search for a style.

6) To test the integration to your eStyle web site, select a style that appears on your web site, and that appears in ProfitSystem with quantity on hand. Make a note of the vendor and vendor style. In the ProfitSystem, go to the Retail Inventory form for that style.

7) Go to the eCommerce tab and click the 'Update QOH on eStyle.' ProfitSystem will update the QOH on the eStyle web site for every size and color on that style in the ProfitSystem. It will display a message afterwards indicating what it was able to update. You can then confirm the QOH was updated on the eStyle web site.

The ProfitSystem will then update the QOH for styles on-the-fly as items are sold.
