A web domain is the name by which your users will recognize your store on the internet. By typing this name into their browser, they can access your e-commerce site, browse the catalog, and purchase the products you have for sale. 

At BigBuy, we recommend acquiring your domain through Nominalia, a company that has proven its professionalism. 

The Domain with Nominalia: 

You can find more information and select your domain via the following link: Domain Nominalia. 

The domains offered by Nominalia include several advantages, detailed in the provided link, such as: 

• WordPress 
• Hosting with cPanel 
• 3 email accounts 
• SSL Certificate 
• Simply Site Micro web editor 
• Full DNS management 

Why Having Your Own Domain Is Important 

• Projects Trust and Professionalism 

Having your own domain creates an impression of reliability and trustworthiness. An address like www.myonlinestore.com conveys more professionalism than a free subdomain, such as myonlinestore.wordpress.com. 

• Personalized Email Addresses 

Owning your domain also allows you to create customized email addresses. Using emails like info@myonlinestore.com not only enhances your company’s professional image but also strengthens your brand identity. 

• Improves Search Engine Rankings 

Custom domains are more highly valued by search engines like Google. This helps increase visibility in search results and, as a result, significantly boosts SEO optimization.

By deleting unattractive products, you will have more space and access to our catalog updates with new products and brands. This will allow you to offer a better shopping experience to your customers and increase your sales.

Step 1: Identify Non-Selling Products

1. Log in to your Shopify store.
2. Go to “Analytics” > “Reports” (located in the left-hand menu).
3. Click on “Sales by product.”
4. Choose the period you want to review (e.g., the last 3 months).
5. Be sure that you have selected the column “Variant SKU”
6. Use the filter to search for products with a “Quantity” of 0 (zero sales). These are the non-sellers!
7. Click “Export” and save the file to your computer. This file is important, so be sure to keep it safe!

Step 2: Prepare the File for BigBuy

1. Open the file you downloaded (it’s a CSV file). You can use programs like Excel or Google Sheets.
2. Clean up the file, keeping only the product lines that haven’t had sales or have had corrections by consulting the “net_quantity” column.
3. Find the column labeled “variant_sku.” SKUs are like the ID numbers for each product.
4. Delete all other columns and rows, keeping only the “variant_sku” column for the products that haven’t had sales.
5. Save the file again as a CSV.

Step 3: Remove These Products from Your Store

1. Log in to your BigBuy account and go to Control Panel > Multichannel Integration Platform.
2. Access your sales channel and, under “Catalog Management,” look for the option “Exclude products” > “Exclude products by SKU.”
3. Click on “Exclude by CSV” and select the file you prepared in Step 2.
4. Go to the final step and publish this exclusion.

BigBuy will take care of removing these products from your store, giving you the opportunity to add new, more in-demand products!

How to view the quantity of products

To see the quantity of products in your store, you need to access the product area and follow the steps below: 

Once here, in the URL, delete everything that appears after the word “products.”  

Write /count.json and press enter to see the quantity of products in our store. 

How to view the quantity of variations

To view the quantity of variations, follow the previous example and modify the URL by changing the word “products” to “variants“; this way you’ll obtain the count of variations. 

Considerations for adding variants

• You can create up to 100 variants for a product. 

• Each product can have up to three options. Options can vary from one product to another. For example, one product may use size, color, and style, while another product may use weight, finish, and material. 

• If you have 50,000 variants or more in the store, a daily rate limit applies for uploading variants through an app or importing a CSV file. You can add up to 1,000 new variants in a day before reaching the limit. If you have the Shopify Plus plan, the daily rate limit for uploading variants does not apply to your store. 

With these simple steps, you can easily verify the total number of products in your store, as well as the number of variants for each individual product. This information will help you make informed decisions about your inventory and marketing strategies. We hope this article has been helpful to you!

Product Type: Product types are not mandatory but are useful for labeling and categorizing products. There can only be one product type per product.

For more information, refer to the Shopify Help Center on Product Types.

By default, MIP transfers the second subcategory to the Product Type field. The semicolon (;) serves as a separator between different categories to preserve the value you enter.

• Product Type: Home and Garden; Barbecue – MIP will not overwrite your modifications –
• Product Type: Home and Garden, Barbecue – MIP will overwrite your modifications -

To prevent BigBuy from overwriting it, use a semicolon (;) as a separator between categories.

Important! Before purchasing your domain name, we recommend you access the general configuration of the Shopify control panel and enter your business information. The reason for this is so that all the information can be reflected on the invoices generated when you purchase the domain name.

By default, Shopify provides a domain of the “name-shop.myshopify.com” type; to buy a domain name on Shopify you need to access the Shopify control panel and find Settings on the sidebar menu on the left.  

Click once on the Domain option, and a new screen will appear on which you can see a list of the available domains for the store.

If you want to buy a new domain, click on Buy a new domain.

Once you have clicked on this, the following screen will show the domain name search, where you need to enter the chosen domain name so that Shopify can tell you whether it is available or not.

If it is available, a button will appear for you to purchase the domain name entered.

Complete the purchase of your new domain.

Before delving into the details, it is vital that you understand the difference between a manual collection and an automated collection. Both options allow you to group products in an organised way, but their focus and method of creation differ significantly.

1. Manual Collection: Your Personal touch

Manual collections are created and managed directly by you, so they give you complete control over which products are included in each of them. This option is ideal when you want to carefully select a small number of specific products. Imagine you have a product category with a special theme, such as “Summer Offers”. In this case, a manual collection will enable you to only display the most relevant and attractive items for your customers.

2. Automated Collection: Simplify management

Automated collections are organised automatically by Shopify according to the criteria and conditions you set. These collections update automatically when products are added or removed in the store, enabling you to save time and work on managing things manually.

Automated collections are ideal when you have a wide variety of products and you want to categorise them automatically according to certain attributes, like tags, prices, inventory, among others.

3. How to create a new collection

Before creating a new collection on Shopify, it is important to activate the option Disable automatic synchronisation of menu categories (within Customise menu categories in additional configuration in Catalogue Management) on the Multichannel and make a new listing. 
By doing so, you will prevent the system from overwriting any changes made to the collections in your store. 

Once the Multichannel listing process is complete, enter your Shopify store and click on the Collections tab in the browsing menu.

Then click on Create collection.

Configure the details of the collection:

• Name of the collection.
• Description (optional).
• Type of collection: Choose between Manual or Automated, according to your needs and preferences.

If you have chosen to create a manual collection, you will be able to add specific products from the Available products section.

To add products, search for those you want to include and click on the Add button.

If you opt for an automated collection, you will have to set filter criteria so that Shopify automatically selects the products that meet these requirements. You can configure up to 60 conditions according to categories, tags, prices, availability and other attributes.

Don’t forget to click on the Save button once you have completed the configuration of your collection.

In both manual and automated collections, it is possible to sort products however you prefer. That means you can further customise your collections, highlight certain products and offer your customers a better shopping experience.

4. Add a product to a manual collection from the product sheet

It is also possible to add a product to a collection from the product sheet. This isn’t just possible for manual collections.

To do so, go to Products on the side menu and open the product you wish to add to a manual collection.

In the Collections section within the product sheet, select the collection you want to include the product in and click on Save.

The product will now be in the selected collection.

5. Hide BigBuy’s collections

Each product offered is linked to one or several specific BigBuy categories. These collections are displayed automatically in your store when you import the products. If, at any time, you decide to remove our collections, it is important to bear in mind that they will appear again automatically. For that reason, we recommend you hide them instead of removing them, following the instructions below.

Before hiding the collections, don’t forget to activate the option Disable automatic synchronisation of menu categories (within Customise menu categories in additional configuration in Catalogue Management) in the Multichannel and create a new listing to save the changes. 
By doing so, you will prevent the system from overwriting any change made in the collections in your store.

Once the listing process is complete, you will be able to hide the collections that you do not want to be displayed in your store.

To do so, follow these instructions:

On the Shopify dashboard, click on Collections, within Products, and select the collection you wish to manage.

By clicking on Manage, you will see the list of sales channels available; uncheck the ones you want to hide the collection from, so it won’t be visible.

Click on Done to save changes.

Finally, make sure you save the changes you make by clicking on Save.

We also recommend that you check out our Help Center about creating tags on Shopify. Tags are a powerful tool to complement the creation of new collections. They can help you to improve customer browsing, optimise product management and personalise the shopping experience.

1. Configuration on the Multi-channel Integration Platform

Firstly, you should access the settings screen of your online store on the Multi-Channel Integration Platform.

In step 4, Carriers, you will see the section “Carrier Configuration > Activate Free Shipping”: 

You can activate or deactivate it as desired. By activating the option, a selector will be displayed where you should enter the country of the market where the free shipping option will operate. The selector will display all of the countries where BigBuy can carry out shipping services.

Once you have selected the country of the market you are going to work with in your ecommerce, you should go to the final step of the Multi-Channel Integration Platform and publish to complete the configuration and activate this feature.

2. How can I check the option is active in the sales channel?

To do this, from the Multi-Channel Integration Platform menu, click on Products. In the pricing formula of a product from your sales channel, a new line will appear above the pricing rules applied to that product, which indicates the shipping cost to the country of the selected market in order to carry out free shipping.

If you do not configure the free shipping option in the Multi-Channel Integration Platform, the price formula of a product will look like this: 

How the feature works will depend on the configuration of shipping costs in your ecommerce. Below, we explain two possible ways of working with this feature:

• To manage shipping costs, use BigBuy’s Dropshipping Carriers app for Shopify or the Plugin Dropshipping Connector for WooCommerce
  • Shipping costs to a selected country will be added to the final price of the synchronised products.
  • When an order placed in your store is destined for the configured country, it will be shown as the “Free Shipping” shipping method in your store’s shopping basket.
  • If desired, through your store configuration, you can block the available countries that can make purchases (optional).

2.1 Shopify cart – Free shipping

2.2 WooComerce cart – Free shipping

• Use your online store configuration to manage shipping costs
  • Shipping costs to the selected country will be added to the final price of the synchronised products.
  • Centralise the sales of your online store to the selected country in Multi-Channel Integration. Example: If you select Spain in your store configuration in the Multi-Channel Integration Platform, you should configure your store so that it only receives purchases destined for Spain.

2.3 Shopify Cart – Carriers

2.4 WooComerce cart – Carriers:

2.5 In Wix:

To use the free shipping option in the Multi-Channel Integration Platform with Wix, you will need to enable free shipping from the back office. To do this, go to Settings > Shipping & Fulfilment.

Then, click on edit and set the shipping costs to zero with the FreeShipping configuration.

Here is more information on how to do this. Remember that shipping prices to the selected country will be added to the final price of the synchronised products.

3. Things to keep in mind when setting up Free Shipping 

• The Free Shipping feature is only available for one country. 

• The Free Shipping feature cannot be set for a specific amount. 

• For PrestaShop, remember that even if the option is available in the shopping cart, all carriers will always appear.

Now, we’ll show you the simple steps to edit the texts and images of your store. Always remember to edit and publish the MIP before making changes, so everything will be as you want! 

1. Editing texts

By default, all product information is published from BigBuy for proper creation in the channel. Keep in mind this will affect every new product you publish: therefore, if you want to customize the texts of the product sheet, you need to select the elements you want to customize in the channel. Let’s see together how to do it! 

First of all, access Multi-Channel (MIP) > Your Store > Catalogue Management: 

In this section, along with other important configurations such as selecting which products to include or exclude and reviewing your selection completely, you will also find the option of Additional Configuration > SEO Text Customization: 

Here, you can choose the language and the element you would like to customize directly in your store: the title, product description, and category name.

Once you have configured this option, you can change the texts directly from the configuration of your online shop.

2. Editing images

Keep in mind that the first time you publish on the channel or a new product is published, all the information about it will be sent to create it correctly in the channel, including the images. 

As with texts, to be able to edit the images in your store, you must first configure this option in Multi-Channel (MIP) > Your Store > Catalogue Management. 

Once here, you will need to enter Additional Configuration again: however, this time the menu to select will be Product Images Update: 

By clicking on the dropdown, you will select Disable automatic image update for the entire catalogue. 

You can choose to disable the update for the entire catalogue, simply by selecting the option. 

If, on the other hand, you want to disable it exclusively for some specific products, you will need to enter them below. You can do this via SKU or via CSV file. We recommend this option if you have many references: this way, you will avoid a lot of manual work.
