You can add or import external products and show them in the webshop. The external products can be from .csv file or some ERP system. The big advantage here is that you don’t need to enter the products into SEEEMS.CMS but just to grab them from the external source.

 

Setting External Products

 

Let’s take the following example where you want to add products from ERP system – in your case Uniconta. As you already know from Categories and Products article you have main Products object on root level in Layout section in SEEEMS.CMS BackOffice. Inside of that main Products object you can add Uniconta Products component and make the settings in order to grab the products from the ERP system. Right click on main Products object and choose Add To -> Uniconta Products.

 There are the following properties for Uniconta Products object:

 

Content tab

      • Category Name – this is the category name
      • Shop Manager Name – this is the shop manager name
      • Prefix for Products - prefix that will be used for the products
      • Default Currency – the default currency that will be used
      • Default Customer Account – this is the default customer account. You can find it in Uniconta App – Customer - Customer and check for an account that will be used.

 

 

 

ERP Integration tab


Prefix For Products – choose prefix that will be used (most of the time it’s based on the webshop name)

 

Uniconta tab

 

Username – username for login into the ER system

Password – password for login into the ERP system

Api Guid – API for ERP login authorization

Company Name or Number – name or number of the company used in the ERP system (can be found in Uniconta app – Company – Company Information, and use Company name or Company ID field value)

 

When you are ready with the settings press the Reload Data next to Actions property in Uniconta tab and the system will start loading the data from Uniconta.

After the Uniconta Products object properties are set we have to make more additional settings and set Product Source View object in order to show the products from ERP system (Uniconta) on the webshop.

 

Setting Product View Source for External Products

In order to show the products on web shop we need to create a page where the products will be displayed and add Product Pages component to it. Right click on Page object select Add To -> Products -> Product Pages.

 

 

After that you have toad Product View Source component to Product Pages object. Right click on Product Pages object and choose Add To-> Products -> Product View Source.

 

 

In Source Category Id property you have to enter the ID of Uniconta Products object that we created earlier.

 

 

And that’s it. Now you can explore the page where the products from Uniconta are displayed.
