  • Category *​

    CDON requires to use its own category names for the store products.
    Start typing inside this field the name of your main category and autocomplete will propose the available category name from the CDON taxonomy list. This CDON category will be the default category for your store products.
    In case you have more than one store category, you will be able to create the specific category templates for each product type after the main connection is made.

CDON allows import variation by adding to the product listings next attributes:

  • Size
  • Color
  • Flavor

For each variation field, you can use variant option attributes:

{{ variant.option1 }}, {{ variant.option2 }} or {{ variant.option3 }}

If you don't know what option exactly you need to set, you can use these custom attributes that will automatically try to find and set available sizes and colors:

Sizes:
{{ variant.size }}

Colors:
{{ variant.color }}

if you don't have colors or sizes in your products, you can leave these fields blank.

3. Payments​

How to list products after connection​

When we're done connecting to your CDON account, go to the Products tab on the main integration page.

Products​

On this page, our app shows all available products in your store.
Here we decide what products we need to list on the CDON marketplace.
If you want to list all of your products, tick on the table column checkbox, click the Select All button, and Create Listing.
In case you want to list only specific products, you can use Product Type, Collection, and Tag filters in the right upper corner.
After applying the filter, you will be able to create listings only for these products.

⚠️ If the option Automatically create listings from new products and publish was enabled when setting up the connection, all products will be listed automatically. There is no need to create listings manually on this page.

After creating listings of the products, we can go to the Listings tab.

Listings​

On this page, the selected products are ready to be published to CDON.

Tick on the table column checkbox, click the Select All button, and Publish your products.

Afterword, in case of successful import, the products will receive status Published within a few minutes and will be added to the Published block.
In case of any errors or problems with the publishing, some products will be moved to the Errors block.
This table block will provide information about each product with the listing problems. All of these products will come with an error message to help you understand what needs to be fixed.
After fixing the errors, these products should be published manually.

A default main category was set up during the main connection for all store products, but if we have more than one store category, we need to go to the Templates tab and create additional category templates.
Check out Category Templates below.

Templates​

Main products configurations that were set up during the initial CDON integration connection are stored in the Templates tab as the Default templates.

There are four additional tabs on the Templates page:

How to apply new Templates​

Go to the integration tab Listing and find the column Templates.
Under this column, click on the "Default" button to open the Templates Selection Block.
Set the appropriate template for the required block.

It is possible to make bulk template updates.
