Developing locally with WooCommerce

If you are developing locally then it probably means that your server is unreachable from the Internet. This means the automatic sync between the Kickflip server and the module on your store isn't possible.

Manually syncing the online store

  1. Log in to Kickflip

  2. Go to Settings

  3. Open the Online stores page, find the online store you want to sync and click on it.

  4. You should see a warning card like the one below:

  5. Click on the sync code input in order to copy it to your clipboard.

  6. On your Wordpress admin, navigate to the Kickflip settings ( WooCommerce > Kickflip):

  7. In the Linking section, paste the sync code in the Sync code field and click Sync.

  8. Voila! Your online store is synced for local development.

IMPORTANT
The warning card won't disappear from your online store page until your server becomes reachable because manual sync is only meant to be used for local development.

Next step: Manually adding products

  1. Log in to Kickflip

  2. Open your product.

  3. Make sure you have a price set in the 'Price' tab.

  4. Click on the 'Connect' tab.

  5. You should see a sync code button appear after a while.

  6. Click on the sync code button in order to copy it to your clipboard.

Sync with an existing or new WooCommerce product

  1. Go to your existing product page, or create a new product in your WordPress dashboard (requires WooCommerce plugin).

  2. In the product type dropdown select Kickflip Product.

  3. Click on the Kickflip tab below the dropdown.

  4. Paste the code in the Starting Point text field and Update the existing product or Save the new product.
