PrestaShop 1.5 Support
Starting from PrestaBay version 1.5.0 we support PrestaShop 1.5. PrestaBay module continue support for old PrestaShop version 1.4 and 1.3.
If you decided to upgrade your store to latest PrestaShop version you can use same module archive.
List combination products as separate products
Very often on PrestaShop product represented as product with combination options but eBay marketplaces or eBay category not support list variation product. Only reason for this case it's list to eBay this product as separates products for each combination.
This option can be activated by created new "Selling List". Please notice you need to have disabled "Variation" option on "Selling Profile".
Each product title also include combination information like color, memory size and so on.
Multiple category mapping
Please notice! Starting PrestaBay 1.5.0 we change logic of working with eBay category mapping.
On PrestaShop 1.4 we use all Product categories for mapping. Currently only "Default" category is used.
This decision was made in regarding to duplicate listing problem. So currently you can see situation when for some category that have product on PrestaShop you don't see product on PrestaBay.
In current version of module you have possibility to map one Selling List to multiple eBay categories.
Possibility to manage eBay Listing into PrestaBay
In new PrestaBay version we add possibility to manage your existing eBay Listings not connected to PrestaBay. Access to this feature can be possible throw menu "Catalog->eBay->eBay Listings"
Initially on this page you will not see any items. You can force import "Active" eBay listing to PrestaBay by click button "Download eBay Listings". All future listings (new listed, stopped, relisted) will be automatically added to this page during execution PrestaBay synchronization.
With each listing you have possibility stop or relist it. During relist operation new row for this table will be created with new itemId, old one remain unchanged.
Show fee during list/relist/revise item
When you list/relist/revise item from PrestaBay interface you will see fee apply to this operation. Please notice that during automatic synchronization process fee values not saved.
New fields on "Selling Profile"
We add lot of additional configuration option to "Selling Profile". Please see screenshot for more information.
Usability improvements
We add possibility to duplicate current "Selling List". Also it possible to move some items from one "Selling List" to other.
We improve grids used in PrestaBay. Currently each grid will save your order, pagination selection and restore each time when you open it. Pagination selection (like items per page) saved for all grid in PrestaBay. Specific settings (like sort order) saved for specific page. Filter settings saved only for realtime (during you use selected grid).
We also add more mass-actions for "Selling List". Just now possible not only revise all items but also "Stop all active", "Stop all with QTY = 0", "Relist all with QTY > 0".
Easy support request
In PrestaBay 1.5 we add possibility to contact us directly from PrestaBay interface. On the top PrestaBay menu you can find button "Support". After click on it you will see special form where you can fill your request.
Also using this form you can leave your idea for PrestaBay improvement.
Resynchronization options
Starting from this version you can observe three new synchronization options.
- Resynchronize QTY
- Resynchronize Price
- Resynchronize Category Products
Each of this option can be usable in case when you use third-party software to update your PrestaShop catalog. Also if you use csv import module or some similar software using such option can help update eBay listing properly based on values in PrestaShop.
Important! Each of this option required additional cpu resources for run it. So in case when you update your Product only using PrestaShop interface it does not need to enable it.
Resynchronize QTY - check QTY in PrestaShop and values saved in PrestaBay. When values not update PrestaBay items and mark it as revise required.
Resynchronize Price - check Price in PrestaShop and Price for eBay Item. When price not match mark PrestaBay item required to revise.
Resynchronize Category Products - synchronize PrestaShop category producs with products assigned to PrestaBay selling lists with "Category" mode. This operation is heavy in performance so please enable it only category structures has been changed.
