Downloading products and images

This is the most popular way of exporting products and data from Wise2Sync. You can access your export profile results after you have configured an Export profile.

Every export (no matter if it is connection with marketplace or eCommerce platform) generates an XML, CSV or smilar file. You can access this file in two ways.

Downloading export file from the App

Access products file by using file URL

As part of API support, Wise2Sync allows access of the latest export generated file by requesting it through URL.

https://app.wise2sync.com/api/exporters/{export_profile_id}/results/latest?access_token={access_token}

{export_profile_id} - numeric ID number of your export profile (see first column in Data export → Export profiles to get desired profile ID.
{access_token} - access token is a set of numbers and letters which is used for identification purposes. It can be found in "Access tokens" page in your Wise2Sync account.

If you replace these variables with your values, the URL would look like this:

https://app.wise2sync.com/api/exporters/123/results/latest?access_token=ABC123...

If all is good, it will return a file which you can save and then process it. If there are errors, they will be returned with HTTP Status codes and error messages in JSON format.

Downloading images

In your export file you will see image names. To access image name you must call this URL:

https://app.wise2sync.com/api/media/{file_name}?_format=file&access_token={access_token}

Replace variables with your access token and file name. Your image URL will look something like:

https://app.wise2sync.com/api/media/filename123.jpg?_format=file&access_token=ABC123...

Make sure you use the right Access token.

Access of export files and images from URL is small part of Wise2Sync API. These methods can be used by all users. Enterprise plan users can use many more commands and benefits of API. Contact us to discuss possible solutions.

You can also easily get the product feed link by going to Export Profiles, pressing Edit export profile you need, and going to Export Results. Press the green button on the right.

Uploading exported products to FTP server

You can set Wise2Sync profile to put generated CSV, XML or JSON file to your FTP server.

See this article how to configure your export profile.

Setting up product import to CS Cart

In this article we will explain how you can use native and powerful CS Cart product import feature and import products from Wise2Sync.

Use following steps to setup product import from Wise2Sync App to your CS Cart store.

1. Create export profile

2. Setup general preferences

Name your export profile, select main preferences. In this example we will use output format XML (CS Cart can also accept other formats like CSV as well). You can read more about Preferences tab in this article.

Important part here is to include full image paths in the export file. Select "Use full image path" and enter one of your Access tokens (left menu Tools → API Access Tokens).

3. Setup export Template

CS Cart has a built in field mapping feature which comes handy when mapping Wise2Sync fields to CS Cart fields. Add some elements to the template:

As always, you can add as many mapped attributes in the export template. CS Cart requires "vendor" field to be present in the XML file. For this you can create a dynamic attribute or just use a blank attribute like we did:

We've skipped settings in the product filter tab. As always, when testing we recommend to filter some products and do not perform test imports with full / large catalogs.

4. Create download link

After you've created your export profile and assigned some repricing rules - you need to run the export profile (if your have an "auto" type export profile - it will be executed automatically on certain time slots).

Once export profile turns back to "Completed" status, your export file is ready (to double check - open your export profile and navigate to "Export Results" tab. There you should see one or more files.

Tip: if export file size is a few kilobytes - it might be that no products were exported. Open and view the export XML file to verify this. Most likely, you will need to adjust filtering options to include more products.

Last step is to create a download link. Read this article here how to do it. It would look similar to this:

https://app.wise2sync.com/api/exporters/..../results/latest?access_token=YTc0M2E2MDAyZTg0MTQ0MTVlYWJjN2Q2M......

Save this link - you will need it in CS Cart administration panel.

5. Set up product import in CS Cart

Create new import and apply following settings:

URL: use the one you generated in Step 5.
XML Target node: "items/item"

6. Map fields in CS Cart

Fields mapping in CS Cart is standard. We used such mapping as an example:

Save your settings and perform a test import in CS Cart. Your new products should be imported!

Channable product export

We can offer an XML template prepared for Channable requirements. The data feed has to be available in an online location. Here you can find information on how to prepare a link to generated XML file: https://docs.Wise2Sync.com/books/product-exports/page/downloading-products-and-images

The data feed will be updated twice a day automatically on the same URL with the latest product information.

There are some limits for import files:
Each imported file may contain at most 10 Million items.
