- Step 1: Generate tokens in Oxid
- Step 2: Create your Oxid connection
- Step 3: Map your products
- Step 4: Review your imported items
Step 1: Generate tokens in Oxid
- Log in to your Oxid eshop backend.
- Go to Extensions > Modules.
- Select the Channable plugin.
- Within your Channable plugin, go to the Settings tab.
- In the Basic settings dropdown, choose how you want to export your product data to Channable.
- Note your Store token and Store URL, as you will need these in the next step.
Step 2: Create your Oxid connection
- In Channable, open the project where you want to import your product data.
- Go to Setup, click + Set up import, and select Oxid.
- Fill in the required information:
- For Label, give your import channel a descriptive name (e.g. "Oxid")
- For Oxid token, fill in the Store token generated in Step 1.
- For Oxid URL, paste the Store URL you noted in Step 1.
- Click Connect with Oxid. This takes you to your import settings.
- For Name, give your Oxid connection a descriptive name (e.g. "Oxid")
- Click Start import. You'll be redirected to the Edit Mapping page to map your product information.
Step 3: Map your products
This page displays your import fields (fields retrieved from your Oxid webshop [e.g. price, description, title]), and corresponding project fields (Channable's standardized fields used to streamline channel setups).
-
Compare and adjust mapping:
Review your Import fields against Channable's matched Project fields. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field. -
Check and correct field types:
Check that the right field type is assigned to your project fields. If a field has the wrong type, click Edit next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click Save & Import. -
Exclude fields (optional):
To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the Select column for that field and click Do not import selected fields.
Once you've finished mapping, click Save & Import to start importing your product data. Depending on how much data you're importing, this can take some time.
Step 4: Review your imported items
After your product data has finished importing:
- Go to the Items page to view your imported products.
- Click on an item to see detailed information.
You're good to go! Your items are ready to use to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.
