Hi, welcome to this screencast of Magdeveloper Live-Sync.
In this demo, we'll show you how to easily import products into your Magento Webstore.
First sign-up with an account.
Just fill in your email and password and you're ready to go.
Remember that you have to activate your account through email.
Please click the activation link.
Once activated you'll see the synchronisation list.
You can select several suppliers and also select different kinds of languages.
Here you can select a prefered synchronisation time.
Remember that you have to setup your API settings of your Magento account.
Now please fill in your account details.
Once you're done click edit and they will be saved.
Now we're going to fill in your API settings of your Magento webstore.
Just login into your Magento shop.
Go to system,
webservices and add a user first.
Just fill in a name, like Live-Sync.
Here you can provide an API key.
Click save.
We're now going to add a role and assign a API key to it.
Just think of a role name,
again you can use Live-Sync.
Here can select which roles should be used.
Reset filter and please enable your role.
Click save.
Now that you've saved your role just go back to your account.
In this case we copy are full URL to our shop
and we're going to paste it in the dashboard.
Please note that you fill it in correctly, here you can see that it is not filled- in correctly.
So we are going to fix that.
Now fill in your API user key which you've just created and also your API key.
Click add.
Your configuration will now be saved.
You can see that a working connection is established.
Now you can go to synchronization settings.
Here you can select a supplier.
You can easily edit your synchronisation time.
If you've made a mistake just select another time.
You can also select your language set based on your country.
Click add
You can add a description,
to recognise your synchronisation later on.
Click update
To view your categories just click the magnifying glass and they'll show up.
Here you can view your categories, on the left side you see your own Magento categories from your webstore.
On the right side you see the live categories of your supplier
You can easily navigate through your categories by clicking the triangle
then sub categories will also appear.
Now we're going to add a link between those categories. Just click a category from your Magento shop and then click a category from the right.
Please note in this case we have selected the checkbox to also add subcategories.
Last but not least, add your own margin and you're done! Click add.
Products will now be updated and category links will be made.
In process of importing you can view the categories being added.
Just refresh your page.
In this case we've already imported all categories
but you can easily compare them, on the left you see your own categories and on the right you see the supplier categories.
You'll see that the subcategories will be the same.
In the center of the screen you can see the category links which have been created.
You can also click a full overview
a full overview will appear
and you can for example delete category links
or you can select all to delete them
it's also easy to edit the margin sets
just set a new margin and click update.
In this case the selected margin will be updated
You can also easily add or delete a sub category.
Just select a category
and you can for example delete
or you can add a category
in this case we will add the category Tablets.
You don't have to enter your own Magento store for it
and as you can see
the new category has been added successfully
it is that easy.
To start the importing process, just select a preferred synchronization time.
In this case we select 11:00 PM.
So at 11:00 PM the synchronization will start.
The importer will now run at your synchronisation time.
By refreshing the page you can see the products being imported into your store from your whole saler.
Remember with Live-Sync you can 'Sit Back and Relax' and focus on your business without having to code your integration
which we have shown you in this introduction movie.
When clicking on a product you can see that the attributes are imported as well.
Also notice that high definition images are used to offer your customer a great shopping experience.
After a few hours you shop will be filled with products, ready to be sold online.
Also note that in the next synchronisation ONLY products which have changed will be updated. (for example if there is a change in stock levels)
Products that have not been changed will not be taken into account.
This makes our importer extremely fast and easy to use.
You can also change all product details and the next time your custom text will be used.
