Ability to set Advanced Conditions in Synchronization Policy based on Magento Product Attribute

In the new version, the Advanced Conditions configurations were added to the Synchronization Policy List/Relist/Stop Rules.

So, it means that if the value in this Attribute will be changed, the Action should be run.

Please note, for List/Relist action all the specified Conditions (both General and Advanced) should be met to run the action. For the Stop Rule at least one of the conditions should be met to stop the Items.

So, you can select Separated View Mode if you do not want to gather the records and check them in such way. However, if you would like to group the records in th Log by the action executed, you should select a Grouped Mode.

Ability to filter data by Account and Marketplace in Search Products section

When you navigating to the Search Products section of your M2E Pro, you can find the list of Products available in the selected Integration. This list of Products might be rather large, so to find the Product you need some time might be needed. That is why, lots of filters and sorting options are available for you. Moreover, in the 1.1.3 version the ability to filter by Account and Marketplace was added.

 

 

Improvements

Setup/Upgrade processes become more stable

In some cases, the issues might arise when the Setup/Upgrade processes were executed.

A lot of improvements were implemented in the 1.1.3 version to make these processes more stable. So, now the risk of any failure was decreased to almost 0%.

Ability to filter records in grids by Date and Time

In previous versions, there was an ability to filter only by Date, but no ability to filter by the particular Time value.

In the current versions this functionality was improved and now you can filter by the Date and Time.

 

 

Fixes

Many fixes of Magento Order creation process

In the current version, the changes were implemented and now, the changes made via API, external tools, etc can be caught by M2E Pro.

eBay Integration

Added

Ability to use the In-Store Pickup Shipping feature

The In-Store Pickup is the Service which offers Buyers an opportunity to save on shipping costs and pick up the Items they purchased on eBay in particular local Stores. The Stores must be previously created by a Seller.

After a full address of the Store is provided, including all possible details, eBay will analyze the information to decide if this Store fits the In-Store Pickup Service conditions for a particular Buyer.

If the Store does fit the Service conditions, the Buyers will see the purchased Items marked as available for In-Store Pickup Service depending on the distance to their location.

A seller should obtain an approval to be able to use In-Store Pickup Service option in M2E Pro.

This Service is available for 3 marketplaces — Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Note: for appropriate work of In-Store Pickup Service the Click and Collect option must be disabled.

The main benefits of this feature are:

  • It can help Sellers increase their Listings' visibility, because the Items are specially marked on eBay;
  • Buyers can save on shipping costs by picking up the purchased Items in the selected Store. It can make Sellers more attractive to their current and prospective Buyers;
  • You don't have to use a Tracked Shipping Service, which allows avoiding Delivery delays, etc.
Please note, to use the In-Store Pickup feature you should contact eBay support to obtain an approval. After the approval is granted, you should contact M2E Pro Support Team for the further instructions via e-mail support@m2epro.com.

To apply the In-Store Pickup Shipping to your Items, the following steps must be taken:

  • go to eBay Integration > Configuration > Accounts > In-Store Pickup tab where you should enable the Stores Management option.

  • next, you should navigate to the eBay Integration > Configuration > Accounts grid and click on the My Stores link.

  • press Add Store button and provide detailed information about your Store including Name, Location ID, Phone Number, Location, Business Hours etc.


  • go to Quantity Settings tab to select the Quantity source for the Products for this Store. There are 2 options to choose from:

1) Price, Quantity and Format Policy — the quantity settings provided in the Price, Quantity and Format Policy will be used;


2) Custom Settings — the settings allow selecting the Quantity source as well as specify the Percentage and the Conditional Quantity Options for this particular Store.


  • You can now add Products to your Store using the In-Store Pickup button in the Listing.

Note: only the Products which are added to the current M2E Pro Listing are available for selection.

In case, you want to add other Products to the Stores, you should add them to the M2E Pro Listing first.

Now, when the settings for In-Store Pickup Service are provided – the Stores are created and the Products are added to them, - M2E Pro will be automatically updating Product Quantity based on the Synchronization settings.

M2E Pro will also automatically update the Product Stock status and Quantity for the Stores to which the Products are assigned during List/Relist/Revise Actions.

Note: As the Stock update is performed for Simple Products and each Variation of Multi-Variational Items, M2E Pro runs a great number of Product Stock and Quantity updates.

For example, you have 2 Products with 100 Variations in each of them. These Products are assigned to 3 different Stores.

So, the number of total updates which M2E Pro will run is (100 + 100) x 3 = 600.

The Product update can be performed with some time delay, in certain cases (with a large number of Products) it can take up to several hours.

Please note, if the Revise Rules in Synchronization Policy are disabled, the Products' quantity will not be updated.

To sum up, the main advantage of 'In-Store Pickup Service' in M2E Pro is that you should only create Stores and assign Products to them, after which M2e Pro will automatically update the Product data with no additional actions required on your side.

The detailed information about In-Store Pickup Service feature can be found here.

Automatic Revise of the Item Specifics if associated Magento Product Attribute value was changed
