Getting Started #33

Open msshaylaj opened 9 years ago

msshaylaj commented 9 years ago

I am interested in simply showing print-ready products on my site seamlessly (to allow customized product pages and cart--without leaving my site). The documentation isn't clear as to a step-by-step process for getting this done. I am a PHP developer with JSON knowledge, but need to know the best way to get this up on my Wordpress site.

AustenB commented 9 years ago

Do you plan on using a shopping cart plugin for Wordpress like Woo Commerce?

Today we don't support print ready products with our web javascript widget.

Yes. I am currently using Woo Commerce. Not sure if I am using the proper term. What is a "print ready" product? I just want the customer to order one of my designs on a mug for example without leaving my site.

AustenB commented 9 years ago

We haven't yet started our woo commerce plugin. You would have to integrate the WooCommerce Plugin with our API.

Is this something you are interested in doing? We might be able to provide a Guide or some step by step info for it.

Will let tech team confirm now that we understand your goals a little better.

Yes, a Woo Commerce integration with your API would be great. Let me know if there will be an extra cost involved to make that happen. If so, I can work with having a separate area of my site with your API that I can skin.

AustenB commented 9 years ago

Are you saying you will code an integration or you want to wait until we have the plugin for you?

Just Confirming my understanding.

I will code an integration. Just need some guidance as to how to get it up.

micahasmith commented 9 years ago

I would recommend going to our staging documentation site (https://staging-api.print.io/docs/) and:

  1. placing your recipeid in the top right textbox and hitting "explore"
  2. clicking into the /preconfiguredproducts endpoint and doing the GET

That endpoint contains the data for your "print ready" products (PRPs). Have you set up any PRPs in the admin site?

msshaylaj commented 9 years ago

Just attempted to create a "print ready" product for the sake of example and got this error: Error. Must consist of only one item (currently).

micahasmith commented 9 years ago

Send me your json, pls?

msshaylaj commented 9 years ago

I haven't gotten to that point. I was just wondering where in the world to start in order to get this integrated with my Wordpress site. Sounds like I have to set up a PRP first correct?

micahasmith commented 9 years ago

Yep. So here's the flow:

  1. Create a PRP. You could do this via the API, but our admin site makes it super easy as well. (Especially if you're just testing)
  2. Integrate the /PRP GET call into your site. Since by this point you'll have data in our db, the endpoint will return all the info you need to list out your PRPs.
  3. Order submission.

If you need help getting 1 accomplished, feel free to email me at micah at print dot io and i'll connect you with one of our partner support specialists to walk through the flow/details.

msshaylaj commented 9 years ago

Just tried to again to set up a PRP in the admin site and it keeps giving an error: "Print Ready Product Creation Fails! Error. Must consist of only one item (currently)."

micahasmith commented 9 years ago

Are you trying to sell a product that consists of two items? Right now we only support single item PRPs.

msshaylaj commented 9 years ago

Nope. It's just a single pillow.

micahasmith commented 9 years ago

Ah! Ok. So the pillow requires two images, which is a feature we will be supporting in a week.

If you were attempting to create a canvas or a phone case, those would work (since there is no front/back to a canvas/phone case).

msshaylaj commented 9 years ago

I see. So I will just stand by until that's working I suppose. I will look for the announcement!

micahasmith commented 9 years ago

@msshaylaj it's ready! feel free to submit multi-image PRPs

micahasmith commented 9 years ago

@msshaylaj need any further help with getting up and going?

msshaylaj commented 9 years ago

Hi there, Thanks for the follow up. I am just getting back from vacation and back on the grind. I will be working on it again tomorrow and be sure to let you know!
