General
Products are synced from the source application to CCV shop. Within this sync, different types of products are supported. APIcenter gathers the data from the source application, then it is run through APIcenter to have the correct settings, values, and formats before it is sent to CCV shop. Products are created or updated based on the SKU.
You can differentiate within APIcenter the behavior between creating and updating products. For example, when APIcenter creates a product and sends in the long description from the source application, but if you enrich the data after this in CCV shop, you don't want to have it overwritten with an update. For this, you can set a checkbox to update the product info.
Product types
Supported product types: Simple/Variant. Always check if the source application can send these product types.
Important settings
- Attributes & Features settings
This is where you create a mapping table for attributes & features. specify the attribute/features for both the source and target application.
- Update products
Do you only want to add new products or also make adjustments on products? You can set this up here.
Attributes/Features
Besides the generic and custom added fields from CCV shop, Item Attributes from CCV shop are also supported. These need to be manually mapped in APIcenter.
Attributes are used for creating configurable products, like size/color/options. Features are used as extra information fields, think about the country of origin, type, delivery time, etc.
Categories
Categories can be created or updated from the source application to CCV shop.
Images
Images are supported from the source application to CCV shop. Please be aware that CCV shop only supports 1 image.

- Name/Title
- SKU
- Long Description
- Short Description
- Price excl. tax or incl. tax
- Quantity
