Overview

In this article, we will discuss the use case for syncing products from IntexGlobal, a promotional products supplier, to a WooCommerce store using the miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync Plugin. This use case outlines the key steps, actors, and benefits of the product syncing process.

If you have a WooCommerce store and IntexGlobal is your inventory supplier, then this use case is for you, as it will cover the process of integrating IntexGlobal's API with a WooCommerce store for importing and synchronizing required product data using the miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync Plugin. It includes the setup, configuration, and ongoing synchronization of product information.

IntexGlobal is a supplier of branded corporate merchandise and promotional products, and WooCommerce is an e-commerce platform widely used for online stores. The miniOrange Product Sync Plugin provides a solution for automating the process of importing IntexGlobal's product catalog, including categories, inventory, pricing, and images, into a WooCommerce store.

Features

• Import products from IntexGlobal supplier directly to your WooCommerce store.
• Filter products based on Brands and Categories.
• Update stock quantity from the API automatically.
• Up-to-date pricing synchronized regularly from IntexGlobal.
• Import all the product and style images.
• Schedule automated tasks to sync IntexGlobal products to WooCommerce at regular intervals, ensuring your store always reflects the latest product data.

Requirements

To get started, you’ll need the following:

• A functioning WordPress website with a WooCommerce store installed.
• miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync plugin, which facilitates the integration between the WooCommerce store and the IntexGlobal APIs, is installed and activated.
• Authorized Access to IntexGlobal WooCommerce APIs for product data retrieval.

Step-by-Step guide to sync products:

Step 1: Setting Up the Plugin

Begin by logging into the WordPress admin dashboard. From here, install and activate the miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync plugin. Once installed, the next step is to establish a secure connection between the plugin and Intex Global's API by entering the credentials provided by Intex Global. These include a Refresh Token and Client ID, which are used to generate an ID Token for authentication.

Step 2: Establishing the Connection

The plugin securely communicates with the Intex Global API using the issued credentials. You can verify the connection by clicking the "Test Configuration" button, which ensures the plugin can successfully connect and fetch product data from Intex Global's system in real time.

Step 3: Retrieving Product Information

Once the connection is verified, the plugin requests detailed product information from Intex Global, including product names, descriptions, images, prices, inventory levels, and more. This data is retrieved live from Intex Global's system, ensuring that your WooCommerce store is always updated with the most accurate and current product information.

Step 4: Mapping Product Data

The miniOrange Product Sync plugin provides a flexible mapping interface where you can match fields from Intex Global's catalog to corresponding WooCommerce product fields. You can choose to sync attributes such as stock, pricing, images, categories, and variants, allowing you to customize the sync to your business requirements.

Step 5: Automating Product Addition

Once data mapping is complete, the plugin automatically imports products into your WooCommerce store, creating listings and updating key information. You can configure the plugin to sync at scheduled intervals—such as daily or hourly—or trigger a manual sync as needed.

This automation ensures your store stays up to date with Intex Global's latest catalog, without the need for manual updates or data entry.

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

• Time Efficiency: Automates catalog imports, stock updates, and pricing sync, reducing manual workload and accelerating product onboarding.
