Product Synchronization: Product Images

Acumatica ERP Retail-Commerce Edition provides you with the ability to export product images from MYOB Advanced to the Shopify store.

Learning Objectives

In this chapter, you will learn how to export product images from MYOB Advanced to the Shopify store.

Applicable Scenarios

You export product images from MYOB Advanced to your Shopify store in the following cases:

You maintain product information in MYOB Advanced, export this information to the Shopify store, and use MYOB Advanced to store images of exported stock and non-stock items.
You maintain product information in MYOB Advanced, export this information to the Shopify store, store images of exported stock and non-stock items in an external storage but keep links to the image files in MYOB Advanced.

Export of Product Images

In MYOB Advanced, you can save images for stock and non-stock items in two ways:

As attachments to an item: On the Attributes tab of the Stock Items (IN202500) and Non-Stock Items (IN202000) forms
As links to an external storage: In the Media URLs table on the eCommerce tab of the Stock Items and Non-Stock Items forms

Images that have been attached to an item on the Stock Items or Non-Stock Items form are exported to the Shopify store during the synchronization of the Product Image entity. The item they belong to must be exported to the Shopify store or created in the Shopify store before images attached to it are exported. Of all files attached to the item on the Stock Items or Non-Stock Items form, the system exports only the files with extensions for which the Image check box is selected on the File Upload Preferences (SM202550) form.

Images specified as links in the Media URLs table on the eCommerce tab are exported together with the item (that is, during the synchronization of the Stock Item and Non-Stock Item entities). When the item is exported to the Shopify store, the images are added to the product management page of the exported item in the control panel of the Shopify store. For successful synchronization, images must be publicly accessible (that is, access to them should not require authentication or authorization).

If you delete a link to an image from the Media URLs table, the image will also be deleted from the product page in the Shopify store during the next synchronization of the item.
