Use lock features of x2x RMH-Shopify if you want different data values on each platform
While the primary purpose of an integration solution is to achieve a synchronization between the disparate solutions sometimes the nature of business asks for different data values for the same field on each platform: for example, if you want your product description different on Shopify than on RMH. This can be done by utilizing the lock feature of the x2xeCommerce RMH-Shopify Integration solution. To understand this feature we need to understand the working of the x2x RMH-Shopify solution first. The x2xeCommerce RMH-Shopify Integration solution has a Product Management Portal module where the data values first come from RMH. This module holds these values in its product fields as per the defined mapping. Once these values are in the PMP they’re then uploaded to Shopify from here. Thus, the PMP module acts as an intermediary between the RMH and Shopify.
What makes the PMP very useful is that it features an Item card for each item where the values can be edited before they’re uploaded to Shopify allowing the user to change these values if they want it to differ from those on RMH. However, when sync runs again between the RMH and PMP, these values get replaced with RMH's original values. Here the locking feature of the PMP is used to prevent RMH from overwriting the PMP values, allowing the user to keep different values on RMH and Shopify. Therefore, if you’ve any such requirement you can also utilize the locking feature of the PMP in a similar manner and manage your RMH and Shopify independently of each other while still being in sync where necessary.
Using activity log
Another important feature of the x2xeCommerce RMH-Shopify Integration solution is the activity log. It is very important to keep track of your integration operation and this is what this feature allows you to do. This comprehensive feature enables you to filter your activities based on different types of operations allowing you to ensure that each and every type of intended operation doesn’t miss to achieve maximum accuracy of your operations. The log shows the time of the operation along with the remarks pointing out the reason for any error that could occur. These remarks are very useful in helping users troubleshoot errors and help them ensure a consistent working of the solution.
Price mapping
Sometimes you need to have different prices for items on RMH and Shopify and the x2xeCommerce RMH-Shopify Integration Solution allows for this as well. The solution comes with two modules the PMP & the Order Manager and both modules allow you to map various RMH price fields to the price field on RMH allowing you to put different prices on both Shopify and the RMH. If you want to configure different prices for both platforms you can use any of the multiple price fields in RMH to map with the Shopify price field and this is how you can have different prices on the two platforms. The integration solution also allows you to put on sale using sales price mapping and even allows you to utilize the sales start and end dates on RMH to automatically control the sales of items at your desired time.
