Setting the synchronization time interval
WooCommerce ABRA Gen Connector allows you to define a regular synchronization time interval in different intervals (5 min. or more), or once a day at a precisely specified time. If necessary, we can add additional options to the interval configuration.
One-time synchronization
Part of the functionality of the plugin is manual one-time synchronization, i.e. in case you need to immediately transfer data from one system to another, you choose the appropriate option from the menu and have it done.
- Import of all products from ABRA Gen into the e-shop. Existing products are updated in the e-shop (names, stock levels, prices, etc.), new products are imported with the selected status (draft, published, etc.).
- Import of only changed products from ABRA Gen into the e-shop. Products most recently changed in ABRA Gen are updated in the e-shop (names, stock status, prices, etc.), new products are imported with the selected status (draft, published, etc.).
- Export of new orders from the e-shop to ABRA Gen. The successfully transferred order is assigned the synchronization date and time and the order number from ABRA Gen. This number is displayed in the e-shop in the list of orders and in the order details, thanks to which you have an overview of which orders have been transferred successfully. As part of the export of orders, it is possible to set them to automatically create deposit slips, tax deposit slips and invoices from them in ABRA Gen, and transfer their PDF print sets to the e-shop and send them to customers by e-mail.
- Update of order statuses from ABRA Gen to the e-shop. You manage orders in ABRA Gen, changes to order statuses are reflected in the e-shop.
- Import of all customers from ABRA Gen into the e-shop. Existing customers are updated in the e-shop, new customers are created.
