Article feed
Tab Articlefeed gives the location of the csv-document. Combine that with the name of the data file and the location is complete.
The construction is like this:
http://www.softwear.nl/ism/ABCD-1234-ABCD-1234-ABCD/data.csv
This url can be pasted in a browser, which results in an Excel document, containing all articles for the webshop.
Then all possible data for the article feed (export) are shown.
Please consult the webbuilder when changing the order of the colums or adding/ removing items.
Pay attention: More info in the article feed means slower import in the webshop.
Examples:
- Seizoen / Season: takes the season from Softwear, which can be used for filtering the article feed
- Omschrijving / Description: use the article description from Softwear in the webshop
- Afgedrukt / Printed: only articles with printed barcodes will be available for the webshop
