What's New
PDF (Product Data Sheet) from the Item
With the new report “SOUSHW Item Datasheet”, you can create a product data sheet in A4 landscape format as a PDF directly from the Item Card. The data sheet contains the cover image and an image gallery based on the item pictures stored in Shopware, as well as the item's marketing text.
In addition, the origin statement “Made in …” can be displayed together with the country flag. The countries DE, ENG, and FRA are already integrated; further countries can be configured individually.
Freely configurable attribute data blocks allow a flexible presentation of the product information. In addition, fixed details such as the item number, EAN/GTIN, packaging unit, and recommended sales price are output.
A dedicated setup page lets you individually configure the attributes used, the section headings, the logo, and the footer. When downloading, the item name is automatically used as the file name of the PDF file.
Contacts as B2B Users in Shopware
Contacts of a customer can be uploaded as B2B users who are able to log in (the customer remains the basis).
NEW: For each contact, you will be able to define which role it has: Display, Orderer, or Approval. The assignment is made through the customer ID. If no unique customer ID is available, the email address is used as a fallback.
The contact and customer cards are being extended with new functions. These include additional configuration options for role IDs, language, and the fallback domain, as well as an activity log for tracking the processes. The report “Shopware Upload Data” is also available.
Improvement (June 14):
Fallback GUIDs when the configuration is empty
Email warning during interactive upload
New action “Check B2B Users (API)".
Attribute Matching (match attributes)
The action “Match Attributes” compares existing Shopware attributes with the item attributes in BC based on their name. If they match, the fields Web-ID, Web Attribute, and Synchronized are set accordingly. No new attributes are created in the process. The corresponding option values are matched based on their respective value.
Item Matching and Data Import from Shopware
BC version raised to 27.5.
Item matching: During item matching, Shopware products are assigned to the corresponding BC items based on the SKU or productNumber.
Variant support: Parent items can be created automatically and the associated child items can be linked, including Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3.
Image download: In addition, images can be downloaded from Shopware. Both the cover image and further item pictures are imported; the cover image is automatically set as the default picture in BC.
Attributes, property groups, and their options can also be loaded from Shopware and assigned to the items.
Functions for category and sales channel assignment, Excel import, and the cleanup of duplicate Web-IDs via “Fix Duplicated Web IDs” are available as well.
Shopware Mapping Hub
The Shopware Mapping Hub is a standalone overview page with information about the connected web shop. Tiles provide a clear presentation of the most important areas, such as the required mappings and master data. The automatic assignment logic (auto-assign logic) has been moved out of the previous process and consolidated centrally in the Mapping Hub.
Separate Management of Web Names and Descriptions
Web Name and Description will be managed separately going forward. Multilingual product names and HTML descriptions are available on the Item Card in separate tables or ListParts.
Export and Import of the Shopware Configuration as JSON
The complete Shopware configuration, including all mappings, can be exported as a JSON file and imported again.
Extended Functions: Meta Info, Marketplaces, Cancellations
For each item, language-dependent SEO metadata such as the title, description, and keywords can be maintained.
As part of the Channable integration, orders from the Kaufland, Amazon, eBay, and Otto marketplaces are detected automatically (marketplace detection) and assigned using the Marketplace Order ID and the Marketplace Source.
In addition, specific orders can be downloaded based on their order number. The Order Dashboard presents further order information clearly.
Cancellation information is also output in German and with the corresponding SKU (item number).
Revised Price List Matching and Price Upload
EUR currency filter: Price list matching and the upload of prices have been completely revised. Only EUR prices are now taken into account, which avoids confusion between USD and EUR. Matching across several price lists has also been improved.
Web-ID inheritance: Web-IDs are carried over when prices change and are updated via PATCH instead of creating new records via POST. As a result, duplicates no longer occur when price periods change.
The actions “Upload Latest Prices (Force)” and “Delete All Shopware Prices” are available as well.
Price List Overview
Price list management has been extended with a new overview showing the current synchronization status.
Customer groups can now be created directly through the API, including the gross/net setting.
In addition, the image upload has been revised.
And the VAT resolution during the price upload has been improved.
Suitable reset actions are available for cleanup and reinitialization.
Main Product for Group Items in the Shopping Cart
The option includeMainProduct has been added for group items. The “Include Main Product in Shopping Cart” switch lets you define whether the main product is added to the shopping cart together with the associated items. The setting is synchronized when group items are created, updated, and downloaded (create, update, and download).
