Cart Integration

How to quickly import all of your webcart products into your VendingBox.

1. Log into your VendingBox account and choose “Configuration”.
   On the page top-tab click the “Cart Integration”.
   
   

2. At the bottom of these settings you will see “Download Feed Plugin”.

3. Choose the ecommerce system you have, i.e. osCommerce, Zen Cart, Magento or CREoaded.

4. Choose the appropriate plugin and click “Download”.

5. Save this compressed zip file to your computer and extract the contents.

6. Copy the plugin file vendingbox_feed.php to the location specified in the instruction text file. In most cases the location is the main catalog directory of your eCommerce installation.
   
   
7. Under the field titled “Store Plugin URL”, enter the exact location of the feed file you just added to your catalogue directory. If your store is located at http://mystore.com/catalog/ then the URL of your feed will be http://mystore.com/catalog/vendingbox_feed.php

8. Click on “Import all settings”. Our system will make a secure call to your cart to import your products.

9. Choose “Manage Products”, on the left menu, and click "Product List". All of you catalog will be listed.
   NOTE: If images and products do not immediately display on your Preview screen, please allow some time for them to be indexed on our server.
   
   
10. Select all or some of the imported products you wish to display in your VendingBox. Use the appropriate tickboxes to activate/delete displayed products. Display as many products per sheet as you like by clicking the numbers at the top right - which makes batch activations easier.
    
    If you have many products in your list, you can use the search function to find items and whole categories quickly. You can also edit product details and view sharable individual product pages.

10. Lastly, at the bottom of a given list you must click “APPLY CHANGES”. Your products will now be displayed in your VendingBox.

If your products do not list or you have a specific configuration that may be stopping the import, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@vendingbox.net. Please detail if you are using add-ons, and give us the details of the cart versions you are using.
