Modanisa Marketplace Integration
Modanisa is one of the leading online marketplaces where you can reach customers across many categories, from modest fashion to accessories, from home decor to cosmetics. If you are thinking of selling your products on this large platform, you are in the right place! In this guide, we will go step by step through how Faprika can integrate seamlessly with Modanisa. Take your business to the next level by learning every detail, from category matching and product management to order processing and shipping.
Before starting the Modanisa integration process, your brand must first be approved on Modanisa and your account must be opened. It is important to make the product details in the Faprika Control Panel compatible with Modanisa. For example, a Modanisa code and fabric information must be entered for each product. This information can be retrieved from Modanisa's own platform.
As a first step, you need to complete the store settings in the Faprika Control Panel. By selecting the Store Settings tab, you can enter the parameters required for integration with Modanisa. After completing your settings, you can send your products to Modanisa and start the sales process.
Store Settings Tab
On the page that appears when you open the Store Settings tab, you need to add the integration information obtained from Modanisa. Enter the relevant information you obtained from your Modanisa account in the 'API Username' and 'API Password' fields. After entering the information, check the 'Active' box to complete the registration.
Price Value
In this section, you can specify the price type and value to apply when transferring your products to Modanisa. When you enter, for example, a value of 10 in Price Value, this value will be calculated together with the 'Calculation Type' and 'Calculation Direction' options, and product prices can be increased or decreased accordingly.
Price Type
This is the field where you determine the prices of your products that will be transferred to Modanisa. If you have defined a special Price Type for the marketplace, you should make the appropriate selection in this section. For example, if you have defined a price as Price Type-1, make that selection here.
Calculation Type
In this field, you can choose whether to set pricing as a percentage or an amount when sending your products to Modanisa. The value entered in the 'Price Value' field will be calculated according to this selection.
Calculation Direction
In this section, you can decide whether your product prices should be increased or decreased. Depending on the entry you make in the 'Price Value' field, prices can be increased or decreased. If you set the Price Value to 0, the product price will be transferred directly to Modanisa.
Safe Stock
When transferring your products to the Modanisa marketplace, you can hold back a certain quantity of stock with the 'Safe Stock' feature. For example, if there are 5 products in stock and you set your Safe Stock quantity to 2, the marketplace stock quantity will be sent as 5 - 2 = 3. This way, you can avoid having no products left in the face of sudden demand.
Problematic Order Status
With this setting, you can automatically manage problems that may arise with orders placed on the marketplace. From the Configuration >> Settings >> Order Settings menu, you can create a new order status called “Problematic Orders” and track the problematic orders detected by the system in this status. Orders without problems will be recorded with the “Approved” status when they first enter the system.
Shipping Notification
When you update the shipping status to “Shipment Sent,” an automatic notification is sent to Modanisa. This notification will be an important reference, especially for preventing customer-initiated cancellations.
Order Channel
You need to select the 'Order Channel' option that you will use when orders from Modanisa are transferred to the Faprika E-Commerce system. To create a new order channel, you can use the Configuration >> Settings >> Order Settings menu.
Payment Type
You must select the 'Payment Type' you will use for orders to be transferred from Modanisa to the Faprika E-Commerce system. This option determines how orders are paid, and it is also an important parameter for reporting.
User Group
You can specify the user group to which Modanisa orders will be transferred on the Faprika E-Commerce platform. If the existing user groups are not sufficient for you, you can create a new user group called 'Marketplace' from the Configuration >> Users >> User Groups menu and then select it.
Shipping Carrier
You also need to select the 'Shipping Carrier' option to be used when Modanisa orders are transferred to the Faprika E-Commerce system. This option determines which carrier you will work with and simplifies your logistics processes.
Modanisa >> Product Management When you open the tab, the page that appears lets you easily manage your products and transfer them to the Modanisa marketplace.
