Description

In this article, we explore a common use case for SyncSpider: automating the process of sending products from Shopify to Dokan.

This workflow ensures that product information, such as titles, SKUs, pricing, and inventory, is seamlessly transferred from Shopify to Dokan, keeping both platforms synchronized.

Step 1: Selecting Integrations

Begin by creating a new task in SyncSpider and click 'Next' to proceed.

Select Shopify as your Source Integration and choose the Product entity from the dropdown.

Select Dokan as your Target Integration, and choose Product as the entity.

Step 2: Configuring the Source Integration (Shopify)

In the source configuration, select All Products under the Products to Import field to import all existing products from Shopify.

Alternatively, you have the option to import products since the last import or specify a date range (using the From and To date fields) if you want to limit the import to a specific period.

Step 3: Filter Source Data (Optional)

In this step, you can apply filters to the Shopify data to target specific products for transfer. You have several options for filtering such as Tags, as seen in the example below, and also Product ID, Collection ID etc.

If no filters are required, you can skip this step and move on to the next step.

Step 4: Configure the Target Integration (Dokan)

In this step, you will configure the settings for the target platform, Dokan, to ensure proper product synchronization.

Choose the Product Unique Identifier:

From the dropdown menu, select a unique identifier, we recommend selecting the SKU. This ensures each product is tracked correctly during the sync process.

Select Batch Size:
Define the Batch Size, which determines how many products will be processed per task execution. We recommend starting with a batch size of 50 for optimal performance.

Enable Create Parent Product Automatically (Optional) :

Check the Create parent product automatically option to ensure that new products are properly structured and categorized in Dokan.

Only Update Products (Optional) :
If you only want to send new products or update existing ones, enable the Only update products option.

Step 5: Mapping

The field mapping step ensures that data from Shopify aligns with the correct fields in Dokan.

On the right side of the mapping screen, click the "Notes available" button.

This will open a popup window that provides helpful explanations of the main fields and their purposes.

Fields with an orange dot are required fields. Ensure these are properly mapped for the integration to work.

SKU: Map SKU from Shopify to Dokan's SKU field. If SKU is not available in Shopify, you can use the Inventory/Variant ID field instead.

Dokan Vendor: Map a constant value from Shopify and select the applicable Dokan vendor.

Step 6: Task Settings

The final step in setting up your integration is configuring the task settings in SyncSpider. Here you can set up a schedule for the task to run automatically.

You can configure the task to execute on Schedule of daily, weekly, etc. or On Event i.e. following the creation of a new product in Shopify.
