Importing Products / Syncing Virtual Inventory

For the most hands-off approach when it comes to having your orders automatically processed, or even simply fetching your WooCommerce orders via the Order Fulfillment App, you sync your Virtual Inventory to your WooCommerce store.

Option A: Using the Plugin:

In your WordPress admin menu, go to  FinerWorks Media > Import Products.
Click the Import Products button.

Option B: Using the WC Products Manager:

In your WordPress admin menu, go to  Products.
Click the Import FinerWorks Products button.

Sending Orders to FinerWorks

Option A: Using the Plugin

If you know your products do not change frequently (image, size, media, etc) and are correctly imported and synced with your FinerWorks virtual inventory. For instance, if you are an artist, selling prints of your artwork in set sizes and options, then it makes more sense to create Virtual Inventory, sync them in your WooCommerce store as products. This way, when you send the order to FinerWorks, we already have all the details (image file to print, print specs, etc).

How to Manually Export Orders
From within the FinerWorks Media Menu > Export Orders.
Select the data range or status, or both, and click the Export Orders button.
How to Use Auto Exporting
Go to FinerWorks Media Menu > Import / Export Scheduler.
Configure your auto-export options.

Option B: Using the Order Fulfillment App

If product specifics frequently change, such as an image to be printed, as in custom-made art or photos that need to be attached to the order. For instance, if you are an individual who creates custom pet portraits, it may be impractical to develop virtual inventory and sync it with your products after the customer has placed the order. In that case, use our Order Fulfillment App to import your WooCommerce order and add the custom-made art to the order.
