1. Navigate to (Acenda Admin > Channels > Posting Templates)
2. Click the +NewItem button
3. Complete the Posting Template form:
NOTE: Posting Templates are use to map products in your store's database with external marketplaces. Each posting template will preload with variables that you can modify if you choose.
- Template Name: Enter an internal name for this template, eg. bedding. NOTE: we recommend using lowercase and no spaces, eg. walmart_pet_products.
- Channel Name: Select the Channel (eg. Walmart, eBay) that you want this template to apply to.
- Category: Type a category name and Acenda will provide a list of relevant channel categories.
4. Click Save
5. Navigate to (Acenda Admin > Channels > Posting Templates). Locate the Posting Template you created in Step 9 and click the Edit button.
6. Now you can edit the Posting Templates:
A. There are five tabs in the Posting Template:
- Base: These attributes are generic to all categories on the marketplace.
- Category Specific: These attributes apply to the specific category within the marketplace.
- Additional: Create your own custom attributes for a channel
- Variant Configuration: Allows you to customize the Product Variant values in the attribute dropdown on the Marketplace listing, eg. Size, Color.
- Preview: Allows you to preview the Posting Template prior to launching. Enter a valid variant.sku value to test.
= Click the "i" icon next to a given attribute for additional information
= Indicates that the attribute is required by the channel
= Indicates the allowed values for a given attribute. We suggest using either a Value Type with a "Static String", or "Product Property" associated with a custom field.
B. Each Attribute's meta-data can be customized by adjusting the Value Type:
- Product Property: This is the default value. One selected, you can change the Value field to use a variable from the product model.
- Static String: Enter a regular expression.
- Twig Template: Create a Twig Template for the Attribute. For example if you want to join brand and variant name then you would enter: {{ name ~ ' ' ~ variant.name }}
7. Click Save
8. Navigate to (Acenda Admin > Products > Products)
9. Click Edit for the Product you wish to associate with the Posting Template.
NOTE: You can also bulk update products using Acenda's Import Tool.
10. Enter the name of the respective Posting Template into the channel's Posting Template value, (eg. "bedding" into Walmart_Posting_Template).
NOTE: Use lowercase and no spaces text in this field (eg. walmart_pet_products)
10. A few variables support multiple values from Acenda to a marketplaces. For example, Amazon's "description bullet points" require multiple values. Click +Add Value to add a multi-value association.
Here's a screenshot that uses custom fields, eg. bullet1. You must populate the bullet1 field values using the import tool or admin tool.
