Associating products with a different name based on product code

In various types of integrations between e-commerce platforms with InvoiceOcean on the basis of creating an invoice from a shop order, there used to be a requirement for the product name to be the same in both services.

Products created in the shop order had to have an identical name in InvoiceOcean for the program to generate an invoice with the correct product. However, a new feature has been introduced to link products in both systems by the product code, eliminating the need for identical product names.

To activate this function: 

• go to Settings > Account settings, 
• go to Integration, 
• select the Associating products based on product code checkbox, 
• click Save.

In our system, the corresponding product code should be filled in on the product card in the Product Code field.

To do this:

• go to Warehouse > Products, 
• use the gear wheel, select Edit next to the selected product from the list, 
• enter the product code, 
• click Save. 

Most frequently asked questions:

• What does the integration need to include in the API request to ensure proper product association by code?

To enable product association by code, the integration must include the code in the code field of the API request. If the code sent in the record matches the code provided in the system's Product Code field, the system will correctly link the products.
