Map Tax Rates:

This option is used to map the taxes present in Easysale ERP to that of the taxes present in WooCommerce.

This is useful for adding related tax for a product during creation & updating.

NOTE: You must map the taxes before Synchronizing Products & Orders.

Sync Products:

Synchronizing products is a time-consuming task and take up to 30 minutes or above depending on the number of products. Do not refresh or leave the page while synchronization is under progress.

Simple & Variable products synchronization is supported.

It has 2 options:

Sync only new products:

Using this option only newly created products in POS are created in WooCommerce. This option can be less time consuming, again it depends on the number of products.

Sync All:

Using this option all newly created products are created in POS & existing products are updated. Since it does both the operation of creation & updating it will be more time consuming than the previous option.

Sync Orders:

This option is used to get all orders in WooCommerce website to Easysale ERP.

All newly created or updated orders after the last sync get added to Easysale ERP. A special tag is also added to the order to mark it as an order from WooCommerce.

NOTE: you can automate this process of syncing orders by enabling “Enable Auto Sync” option in settings.  And adding the cron job for this, the update frequency is same as that of cron job frequency. Cron job command is mentioned in API Setting above.

Reset Synced Categories / Reset Synced Products:

When you click on sync Products it creates the product present in POS to WooCommerce. And with this, a link is established between the WooCommerce Products & POS Products.
Technically woocommerce products ID is stored in POS database to create a mapping between them.

After you have Synced the products if you click on “Reset Synced Products” then the link will be broken (technically the woocommerce product id stored in POS is deleted and set to null)
This reset is useful when you’re changing the WooCommerce Website.

After Reset if you click on Sync Products again then it will check for same products SKU present in WooCommerce, if not present then it will create the product and store the product id in POS.

Note: deleting of products in WooCommerce is not required if the SKU for products in WooCommerce & POS is the same.

Same applies to Categories also.

Error & Solutions:

Error 1:

Sometime during synchronizing you may get the following message/error

“live.EMERGENCY: File:………\vendor\automattic\woocommerce\src\WooCommerce\HttpClient\HttpClient.phpLine:375Message:Syntax error”

Solution:

In your WooCommerce “API Settings” change the “Woocommerce App URL” by adding “index.php” to it.

Example: Change the URL from
www.myWooCommerceStore.com to www.myWooCommerceStore.com/index.php

Error 2:

Sometimes in WooCommerce API bulk operations (add/edit/delete) are restricted. So it will give a error like
“Sorry, you are not allowed to batch manipulate this resource. [woocommerce_rest_cannot_batch]”

To resolve this error, follow this steps:

  1. Install & activate Code Snippet plugin in wordpress. https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/
  2. Go to Snippet -> Add New and add a new snippet
  3. The snippet will have below writen codes:add_filter( ‘woocommerce_rest_check_permissions’, ‘allow_bulk_operation’, 10, 4 );
    function allow_bulk_operation( $permission, $context, $object_id, $type ) {
    return true;
    }
  4. Save & Activate it.

Now it will allow the bulk operation from api.
