Basic information

The transition to the online environment takes place only after the completion of all necessary points before starting, after these points have been checked by your onboarding specialist and after successful content control by our content team.

Once all of the above is done, you will be instructed by your onboarding specialist to switch the products to live, i.e. online mode.

WARNING: A product switched to live cannot be switched back to draft status. Deactivation of products is then done by setting 0 stock or changing the product status from active to inactive.

Manual product switching - designed for Manual and Heureka XML feed connection type

For all connections, the products can be switched manually directly in list of products in the MALL Partner Portal.

WARNING:
Manual switching is the only way to activate products for Manual and Heureka xml feed connection types. If you have a MALL XML feed or API connection type, this method can also be used, but then you need to change this state in the feed and API connection as well. The procedure can be found below.

Be careful when switching products within the Heureka XML feed connection, as a running product cannot be disabled. In case this situation occurs by mistake, products can only be deactivated by an onboarding specialist.

1. Bulk product activation

This feature is used when you want to switch your complete product portfolio online.
The button can be found in list of products in the section Products.

After clicking on the button "Activate all products" you will see an automatic window where you need to confirm the selected action.

After confirmation, the products will change in the column Draft value on "live" and the products will be gradually transcribed to the web.

2. Selective product activation

Bulk selection

In case you do not want to run the complete product portfolio, it is possible to select the part that will be run.

Highlight the selected products, expand the options on the top right and select "Set live", then just click on the button "Apply".
After confirmation, the products will change in the column Draft value on "live" and the products will be gradually transcribed to the web.

Individual product switching

Products can also be switched individually by changing the value to "live" directly in the column Draft.
