Steps to configure synchronization of products from the Proactive Clothing's

Step 1: Setting Up the Plugin

To get started, the store owner (admin) logs into the WordPress dashboard and establishes a connection between the miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync plugin and Proactive Clothing's APIs. To enable the plugin to connect to the Proactive Clothing API system, the admin needs to input the credentials provided by Proactive Clothing.

Step 2: Making the Connection

The plugin then talks to the Proactive Clothing system securely. It checks to make sure the connection is working correctly. We can test this by clicking the Test Configuration button to receive the product data from the API.

Step 3: Getting Product Info

Next, the admin (store owner) asks the plugin to grab information about the products from Proactive Clothing. The plugin sends a request to Proactive Clothing, asking for product details like product names, descriptions, pictures, and more.

Step 4: Sorting Out the Info

The miniOrange Product Sync plugin takes the information it gets from Proactive Clothing and puts it in the right places in the online store as configured by the admin. The admin has the ability to map the values from Proactive Clothing's to his WooCommerce product attributes. You can choose which parts of the product information you want to bring in and update. This helps if you only want to update the stock and price of the products or some other attribute like category and brand.

Step 5: Adding Products Automatically

Now, the plugin does the hard work. It automatically adds the products from Proactive Clothing to the WooCommerce store. It creates new listings for each product and makes sure all the details are correct. It can also keep track of how many of each product are available. You can set it up to do this automatically at specific times, like every night at 1:00 AM, or you can do it manually whenever you want. This makes sure that the online store always has the latest products and information from Proactive Clothing without needing to do anything manually.

Benefits

Syncing products from Proactive Clothing to a WooCommerce store using the APIs offers several benefits, including:

• Time Efficiency: Automation reduces the time and effort required to update product listings manually.
• Accuracy: Data is synchronized accurately, reducing the risk of errors in product details, pricing, and availability.
