Required Check List
Decide Which Products to List
- Omnivore has the function to Block and Exclude Products from listing, this means you can pick and choose what to list by blocking and unblocking products.
- For more information on Blocking and Excluding click here.
- Once you decide which products to list on Lasoo and we push them up in the feed, they will need to be mapped to a category within Lasoo, and they will be checked, approved and published by Lasoo. The published status then means they are online, they have an advert ID (listing ID) and they are purchasable. These listing status's are applicable to the Lasoo marketplace.
Order Settings
Within the Omnivore go to Settings - Lasoo - General, the field called called 'Prefix Order Number'must have a value entered. Whatever value is added to this field must also have a - on the end.
Eg lasoo- will prefix the order number with that value. So your order reference number will be formatted like this example: lasoo-148 .
Shipping Setup
There are two options for Shipping Setup:
Shipping Profiles from the Marketplace OR Shipping Policies setup with Omnivore.
Note: Lasoo Marketplace has very specific Shipping Requirements.
Follow this article for the setup options.
Brand Options
There are two brand options which are, Map Brand OR Brand Slug. Unlike most other marketplacer marketplaces Map Brand is the default setting for Lasoo
Map Brands: This is the default brand setting for Lasoo. If the 'Send the value as Map Brands' field is ticked in Omnivore this means the retailer brand we send to the Marketplace has to be mapped on the Marketplace side, this is done by the Marketplacer Team or the retailer.
OR
Brand Slug: In this case we send a brand list to the Marketplace, once that brand list is in the Marketplace's Database we then reimport the brand list with any changes made by them. The reimported Brands in Omnivore now match what the Marketplace has. No further steps by the retailer or Omnivore are required.
Category Mapping
- Category Mapping is completed within Lasoo, it does not have to be applied within Omnivore. Products in Omnivore will appear to be not mapped and this is ignored by us due to the mapping being completed on the marketplace side.
Product Identifiers
- This includes GTINs, UPC and EAN; the general rule on if product identifiers are required is defined by the marketplace. Omnivore imports product identifiers from the eCommerce Store, if the data is not required we do have functions to not send that type of data. For Marketplacer Markets this settings is on Settings - Lasoo - General - Product Identifiers.
Start Selling
- While setting up Lasoo in Omnivore the integration is in Setup Mode, this means that feeds, syncs and uploads have NOT commenced yet. As you complete the many setup steps Omnivore will automatically reveal the Start Selling button on the Dashboard. In order for you to go live on the Marketplace you must hit Start Selling. There are checks and tests that we recommend before Start Selling is activated.
