List product individually

Make sure that you are in the Product page.

• Create your product listing with a title, variants, description, price, and other pertinent information.

If you are trying to build your product list on Merchize for the first time, please refer to this guide: Use Mockup Generator to Create Campaign of our Help Center.

• In the right panel, at Connected Platforms section, you will see your stores are displayed. Select the store that you wish to list by clicking the “Publish" button to the right.

• The product is ready to sell and is available to customers on the online store when the status turns to “Published".
• Support single listings with unlimited variants from Merchize into WooCommerce.

Note:

• When using the ‘Create Campaign‘ function to generate a Merchize product link with multiple product type attributes, Merchize will preserve the exact variations for each attribute as they were originally displayed and set up during the synchronization process with your Shopify store.

Example:

• Only variants with images will be synchronized to Woocommerce. 
• After products are synchronized to Woocommerce, the product descriptions will be shown in HTML format. To switch to the regular format, select tab “Visual" tab on the top right of the menu.

List products in bulk

You can push listings in bulk by selecting multiple products at once using the checkbox on the left side of the product list column and then clicking the “Publish to Integrations" button in the dropdown “Action" menu.

In the pop-up dialog, you will select integrated channel and stores you wish these products listed.

Now simply click “Publish“, and your bulk listing will go live on WooCommerce storefront.

You can "CANCEL" to close the window.

Note that processing times may vary depends on the number of listings you have chosen to publish at once. 

Edit & update your listings

In the product detail page, you can update your listing information (product title, images, description, price,..) manually.

You can also either change the description, or increase or decrease the prices by a percentage or a fixed amount once at a time (Remember, this feature is now only viable to all variants of one product or multiple specific products.)

1. After you’ve made changes to your listing, then click “Save product" on the top or bottom right corner of page.
2. The store logo icons will turn yellow, which means the data has been changed. Select the store that you wish to re-sync by clicking the “Update" button.

You will need to perform all product updates for WooCommerce in Merchize, and publish those changes to WooCommerce.

If you make changes to synchronized product from WooCommerce, once that product has order, this will generate different product on Merchize system. (To fulfill order, you need to re-upload artwork).
