Follow this instruction to successfully integrate Droplo and its supplier base with your RedCart store. 🙂
Activating integration
Go to the Integrations tab and click on the RedCart field.
Full description of the integration will open. To activate the trial period, click on the Test for free for 7 days button. If you do not need a trial period and want to activate your subscription straight away, use the Purchase access button.
A. By selecting Test for free for 7 days, a window will appear where you will be told until when you can use the integration for free. Use the Start trial period button to proceed.
You will be taken to the Subscription and payments panel where, in the list of Active subscriptions, you will notice your integration and the information until when it will be active for your account during the trial period.
To do this, in the Subscription and payments tab use the Cancel subscription function, next to the service you do not wish to continue. Access to the integration will expire when the full 7 days have passed.
After activating the trial period for RedCart in Droplo, you will see a new section in the main menu on the left side of the panel: MY INTEGRATIONS. In this section you will find a shortcut to your RedCart integration. Click on it to open the configuration panel.
B. By selecting the Purchase access option, you will be taken to the payment card for access to the integration. Choose whether you want to pay it monthly or annually (in advance). Once the first payment has been sent, the integration will be fully activated for your account.
Making a connection
Go to the RedCart configuration panel in Droplo using the shortcut in the left menu:
The only thing that is needed to connect Droplo with your RedCart store is the API key.
Log-in to your RedCart account and go to Marketing i integracje (Marketing and Integrations) –> Integracje Integrations –> Serwisy zewnętrzne (External platforms).
In the Serwisy zewnętrzne (External platforms) dashboard, find a line called Droplo API. Click on the configuration icon.
Copy Klucz API (API key for Droplo platform) and paste it to Droplo.
Then click on Connect button. After a few seconds, your new RedCart connection will be ready to go.
Configuration
After successful connection you will be transferred to the RedCart Exporter App by Droplo, where you can easily configure the integration parameters such as:
Global mark-up – set the percent or amount margin on exported products;
Currency – choose the currency of your sales channel;
Synchronization – turn on/off automatic synchronization of prices and inventories;
Warehouse – decide to which warehouse in your store exported products should go;
Export language – choose in which language should the products be exported
Set tax – you can choose how the prices should be calculated regarding taxes
When you’re done with the configuration setting, don’t forget to click on Save button (7).
If you already have categories in your RedCart store, you need to map those categories with Droplo before exporting the products to your store.
Go to the Category Mapping card and assign the most relative option that fits the categories in.
When you finish assigning every category from the list then click Save (below the page).
Export products to RedCart
After saving your category mapping settings, you can go to the My Products tab and export the selected products to RedCart via the More Actions -> Add to sales channels function.
A new window will appear where you can choose which integration you want to upload products to. If the integration has encountered errors, e.g. with the connection, a message will appear at the top of the window.
In this case, check again that the configuration has been done correctly on the Droplo side as well as on the RedCart side.
This is because Droplo is the source for updating products in your store. Operating on products outside of Droplo may cause synchronization issues.
However, if you don’t want prices or inventory to be updated automatically on the store side, change the synchronization settings for your RedCart integration in Droplo.
