To install the Sears extension:-
If any merchant has created his account on sears.com and not enabled his API yet then he can enable his API panel from Sears > API.
It will open a page asking ‘Set up your test API’.
In order to obtain the live mode credentials, all the Test APIs should be run because Sears doesn’t provide Live Mode details until all the Test APIs have been set up.
To configure the settings in sears > configuration the merchant needs to login to his account.
Before creating Sears Attributes it is necessary to create Sears Categories by uploading the CSV file.
If the Sears Categories are already created then:-
After the categories get created in Magento, they need to be assigned to the products.
For this purpose:-
NOTE:- A product can be assigned to a single category only as this is the specification of Sears.com and we have to follow it.
For uploading the products on sears.com:
The Necessary Information regarding Product uploads are:-
Due to any reason if an error occurs during the product upload then that product will be listed in the Rejected File panel.
When an order is generated on sears.com, then the merchant should notify sears.com that whether he is able to fulfill the orders or not.
For this purpose:-
For shipment, we have added a tab ‘Ship by Sears‘ from which the merchant can create shipment for orders. This tab will be visible only if the order has been placed from Sears.com.
For this purpose:-
List of failed orders can be viewed by:-
Whenever a return will be generated for a completed order then it will be listed in the Return panel with status Created and the merchant (admin) will be notified about it by notification in the admin panel.
To manage this type of return there is a panel ‘Sears Refund’:-
Click Sears > Configuration in the menu section to open Sears Configuration.
Whenever a product is uploaded then it gets uploaded in the form of batches of 30 products each. If 100 products are uploaded (say) then 4 batches will be formed with 3 batches having 30 products and the last batch having 10 products. For every batch, 3 files are created which are present at root in the var > sears upload folder. So, if total 4 batches are there, then 12 files will be created. These files are then compressed and uploaded on sears.com.
The 3 files include:-
1.inventory {timestap}.json, having details of the quantity of inventory of 30 products, according to the fulfillment node, which are mentioned in the SKU file
2.price {timestap}.json file, having the details of the price, according to fulfillment node, of those 30 products which are mentioned in the SKU file and
3.sku {timestap}.json file, having general details of those 30 products related to SKU, etc.
Whenever a product is not uploaded and some error is generated then it gets listed in the error files section which includes any one of the 3 files. The content of those files should be seen by the merchant to locate the product having the error so as to rectify those errors and resubmit the file.
After all the files are submitted to sears.com server, they then process those batch files. If all the information about the products is processed then the products are uploaded & moved to the Processing state otherwise the batch file is marked as "Processing with an error status.”
To map an already existing category to a Sears category, go to Catalog > Manage Categories. Select the required category that needs to be mapped (should be a non-Sears category) and click on the "Sears Category Mapping" tab, where you need to select the required category from the drop-down, then click on Save Category button. Now go to Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attributes > Edit the required attribute > Sears Attribute Tab. Enter the “Attribute Id” of the Sears Attribute that has to be mapped with the Magento Attribute in the Sears Attribute Id field. Now click on the Validate button. When you map your Magento category, all products of the mapped category get listed in Manage Product grid of Sears.
Brand signifies the name under which a product comes. The Brand attribute has been marked as important by Sears. Therefore, before uploading a product on Sears it should be checked that the product's brand name is provided to ensure that the product gets successfully uploaded on Sears.
After uploading the product, if no error files are generated still the product is not visible on Sears and no files are generated in the Sears Partner Panel > API > File Uploads section then that means the product has been successfully uploaded on Sears. If is it not getting listed then that is an issue of Sears as sometimes the products get stored in their backend but never get listed due to some internal issue of Sears. In this case, the Sears support Team should be contacted.
You cannot add discounts but you can use the Rules Engine which is available in the Sears partner panel and update pricing to become more competitive on products.
If the product is in the "Under Review" section of sears for a long time then it may be because all the details of the product might not have been entered. Although it takes approximately 1 week for the products to go from "Under Review" section to Live Mode. To speed up the process, all the sears attributes assigned to the product under Sears.com tab on product edit page should have proper values and none of the attributes should be left blank. This way sears will receive all the values for all the attributes. If Sears was looking for some attribute value which was causing the products to remain in "Under Review" section then by providing values for all the sears attributes this problem may not occur and the products will go to Live Mode if no other issue happens to be on Sears.
Sometimes the products get stored in their backend but never get listed on the frontend as this is Sears.com's internal issue which when gets resolved, the products start showing up at frontend.
Follow the path as mentioned below:
Sears >> Manage Product >> Upload Product
The Sears Product Status is empty because upon installation of Magento-Sears extension the Catalog Product attribute-Sears_Product_Status is created that reflects the latest product status as on sears.com.
Under Product Edit section the sears.com tab appears that further leads to Sears Product Status drop-down.
Select the "Not Uploaded" option from the Sears Product Status drop-down before uploading any product on sears.com.
Alternatively, you can apply the Mass Action drop-down option "Update Attributes" through Catalog >> Manage Product Grid
1) A select number of products which you wish to upload on sears.com.
2) Select the drop-down option "Update Attributes" and click on the Submit button.
3) Set Sears Product Status as "Not Uploaded".
4) Click on the Save button.
Tier price cannot be uploaded to Sears.com. But Sears Provided a Sears Rule Engine to apply customer benefit settings. These settings can be found on your Sears Partner Panel. You need to use Rules Engine (available in the left side menu in the partner panel) & contact to partner panel support for "How to use Sears Rules Engine. The module doesn't include these features as there is no API for this.
From Magento-Sears extension for uploading the variant product.
