When starting a new season in Zedonk, you must ensure your Shopify Connector is updated to recognise the new collection.
This ensures that stock levels (ATS), prices, and stock adjustments (and/or retail orders) sync correctly between both systems.
Step 1: Prepare Your Data in Zedonk
Create the New Season: Set up your new season in Zedonk:
Create Products & Assign Barcodes: Ensure all new products are created:
Important: Important: Every product and size must have a Barcode Number assigned. If the barcode is missing in Zedonk, the export to Shopify will fail.
Verify Product Costs & Prices: Double-check that all wholesale and retail prices are correct for the new season.
Update Stock Levels (ATS): Ensure your Available to Sell (ATS) quantities are accurate in the new season.
Step 2: Update Shopify Connector Settings
You must tell the Connector to look at your new season instead of the old one.
Review Settings: Navigate to your Shopify Connector settings.
- Update Season Mapping: Ensure the new season is selected for importing stock adjustments and/or retail orders.
- Set ATS Export Season: Confirm the correct season is selected as the source for exporting ATS to Shopify.
Depending on the Shopify Connector Version you use, the settings page will look differently:
Step 3: Update the Product Catalogue
In this step you will define which products are included in the export tasks, such as Product Export, Product IDs Sync and Stock (ATS) Export.
Important: Perform a final check to ensure every item in the catalogue has a barcode number assigned.
This is the primary ID used to match products between Zedonk and Shopify.
Step 4: Update RRPs in Shopify
If you need to push retail price updates from Zedonk to Shopify, trigger the Price Export task:
Step 5: Monitor and Troubleshoot
Check Activity:
- Regularly review the Activity in the Shopify Connector.
- Look for "Red" error flags. Common errors include barcode mismatch (the barcode in Shopify doesn't match Zedonk exactly or is missing). See Shopify Connector - Troubleshooting for more details.
Resolve Issues:
- If a stock adjustment or an order fails to import, correct the data in Shopify or Zedonk and update the Shopify order or re-create a test Shopify order to confirm the error has been corrected.
