how do i list a product using the Shopping.com connector™ module?

Answer by:  George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

Important: If you do not have an Aplus.Net’s hosting plan and bought the Aplus.Net’s Shopping.Com Connector™ module from MivaCentral.Com, please login to your Miva administration pages with your current hosting provider and skip to Step 7.

Here’s how to list a product using your Shopping.com Connector™ module:

1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
4. Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
5. Click on the Marketing tab.
6. Finally, select the Shopping.com Connector™ from the body of the following page. You will be redirected to the Miva Administration pages.

Note: Make sure your Miva Administration is set to Advanced Administration Mode.

7. Now, click on the arrow next to Stores located in the left panel of the Miva Administration screen.
8. Next, click on the arrow next to the name of your Miva Merchant store to view the available options.
9. Next, click on the Products option of your store to open your Miva Products List.
10. Now, click the edit button, located at the row of the product you want to list to Shopping.com.
11. Next, click on the Shopping.com link located in the Edit Product navigation bar.
12. Now, choose the main category for the product you want to list and click Continue.
13. Choose a sub-category for the product you want to list. Then click Continue

Note: Keep choosing a sub-category until you have reached a primary category (If there are no more sub-category options available for a specific category then it is a primary one).

14. Now, choose the product listing details for the product you want to list.

Note: Please, visit that web address http://comconnector.com/ig-listing.html to see details of all available options.

15. Finally, click the Save & Upload in order to list your product to Shopping.com.

Note: The product will not appear on Shopping.com right after it has been uploaded, due to the time Shopping.com takes to process upload requests.

Important: If you plan to upload more than one product at a time, a better option is to use the Save button instead of Save & Upload in order to save your products for future upload to Shopping.com. Then, follow the instructions in the following Knowledge Base document on how to upload all your saved products: How do I update my Shopping.com listing?

Note: These instructions assume you already have your Miva Store created, your Shopping.com merchant account registered, and your Shopping.com Connector™ module installed and configured.

• If your Shopping.com Connector™ module is not installed, here you can find instructions on how to install it.
• If your Shopping.com Connector™ module is not configured yet, here you can find instructions on how to configure it.
• If you do not own a Shopping.com merchant account yet, here you can find instructions on how to register one.
