How can I integrate OpenCart with ChannelDock for order and inventory syncing?
Before connecting OpenCart to ChannelDock:
Make sure the barcode of each product / product variant is the same as the SKU / EAN of your other sales channels. This is how ChannelDock connects products from different sales channels.
Make sure the SKU value of each product / product variant is filled in with a value. This value may be different (or the same) as the barcode of the product / product variant.
Please note: the barcode/EAN must be unique for each product. Otherwise, the products will not be loaded correctly into ChannelDock, which means that orders will not be imported either, and your stock levels will be inaccurate.
