Probo Connect WordPress WooCommerce plugin

For who?!

The first draft of our plugin focuses on print professionals who sell predefined products with preexisting artwork. We are working hard to include our configurator and our white-label uploader, as well as our delivery date and shipping methods logic. Please check our roadmap for the features we want to add.

Before you begin

Before you begin, please ensure that you meet the following criteria.

Installtion

Installation guide via WordPress Admin

• Head over to the Plugins section of your WordPress installation.

• Select the Upload Plugin in the top right corner

• Select the archived plugin you have received and upload it.

• Push Install now.

Installation guide via file transfer (FTP/sFTP)

• Open the location of your WordPress store in the tool to manage the file transfers. This can be done via your host or via (s)FTP.

• Navigate to the Directory wp-content, next go to the plugins folder.

Setup

Activation

After the plugin is uploaded, head over to the plugins section to activate the probo-connect, if this is not already activated.

Configuration

Next, the plugin needs to be configured. To do so, open the settings for the plugin.

You can access the configuration via the plugins section and select settings, or head over to the WooCommerce settings and select the Probo Settings tab.

• First, add your Probo API token in the API token field, and store the settings.

• Secondly, it is recommended to start with the Sandbox mode. You can test the API, and the orders you push will be canceled automatically.

If you want to receive the error mails on a different email address than the admin account's email address, then you should change it here.

Configuring a product

In the WordPress admin, open or create a new product. Head over to the Probo Connect tab.

• First, select the Probo API Product Code you want to use for this product.

• Next, select the type of file uploader. Most commonly, it would be the Artwork via URL. Please note that it is possible to add your own uploader logic via the hooks. Contact if you want to know more.

• Select the production file you want to attach to the product. You can select a file from your WordPress Media Directory or use an external storage like Dropbox.

• Finally, you can set some additional file options.

Save the product, and it is ready!

Pushing an order

You can push orders using the order action "Synchronize to Probo". When executing, the Order is pushed to Probo. Momentarily, orders are not pushed automatically to Probo.

After pushing, the Probo Order panel will be updated. Every time an order update is available from Probo, this will be pushed to your shop, and the status is updated. If you want to check for new updates your selfs, you can use the Fetch order status from Probo action.
