Set up this section if you would like Malcom to sync to the Shopify Point of Sale (POS) Sales Channel. If you do not use the POS channel, skip ahead to Step 3.1 - Product Mapping. Note: this can always be configured in the future if your needs change.
In this section, Malcom will gather channel parameters and confirm the algorithm to use for its product completeness calculation for the Shopify POS Sales Channel.
Manage Point of Sale (POS) Channel in Malcom?:
Description: Enable/Disable the ability for Malcom to synchronize your products in a Shopify POS Sales Channel.
Action: If yes, continue with the setup on this screen. If no, POS synchronization will not be enabled and the rest of the drop-down menus will be disabled.
Akeneo Point of Sale (POS) Channel:
Description: The channel in Akeneo defines the selection of products and information to export. A channel can be a website, a print catalog, a mobile application, or a Point of Sale (POS).
Action: Select the desired channel from the dropdown to source your products for synchronization to Shopify.
Completeness on Akeneo Engine:
Description: Malcom will check for product completeness using one of the following calculation methods:
- Complete on Selected Locale: Check for completeness of the product in Akeneo and import only those with 100% completeness in the Akeneo Locale that map to the default Shopify language. Note: Completeness is calculated on required attributes for the family.
- Attribute-Based: Instead of using Akeneo’s product completeness engine, Malcom will check the attribute specified in the “Completeness on attribute” list. Note: If the attribute has a “yes” value, Malcom will proceed with the product synchronization. Only yes/no Akeneo attributes will be displayed for this selection.
- Complete on Selected Locale and Attribute Based: Malcolm will check both the attributes specified in the “Completeness on attribute” list but will only import products that are 100% complete in the Akeneo Locale that maps to the default Shopify language.
Action: Select the desired completeness calculation method from the dropdown and specify an attribute for “Completeness on attribute” if “attribute-based” is selected.
Note: For the POS channel, the drop downs for “Default Product Status” and “Publication Rule” will always be disabled.
