Product Add-on Fields
Sana Commerce Cloud has a mechanism that allows app developers to show additional product information in the webstore.
In Sana Admin click: Setup > Products > Product add-on fields.
These additional product fields originate from the:
-
ERP system
-
PIM system
-
Product attributes created in Sana Admin
By configuring these fields, Sana Commerce Cloud retrieves the necessary product information. This information can then be shown in the webstore by implementing the content element app.
The table below provides the description of the fields on the Product add-on fields tab.
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Field name |
This dropdown list contains all fields that can be used in the app. These fields are retrieved from your ERP or PIM system, or product attributes created in Sana Admin. |
|
Related table |
If a field from the products (items) table in your ERP system is related to another table, the name of the related table will be shown in the column. |
|
Related table field name |
This dropdown list contains all fields from the related table that can be used in the app. If no field from the related table is selected, the value of the field set in the Field name column will be used. |
After adding the product app fields, it is required to rebuild the product index. This can be achieved by running the Product import task, ensuring the product information is retrieved for the newly configured fields.
This way you don’t need to customize the standard Sana Commerce Cloud product, but instead, you can create an app to show the necessary product information from your ERP system, for example. This is important because customizing the standard Sana Commerce Cloud product means abandoning SaaS and thus no automatic upgrades.
This mechanism is currently used by the following apps:
