00:00:07:20 - 00:00:08:04
There we go.
00:00:08:04 - 00:00:12:11
So what I want to start off with
is just a little bit of an overview of the
00:00:12:11 - 00:00:16:22
different types of non variable products
that we've got in figure.
00:00:16:27 - 00:00:19:27
This is just the sort of primary ones.
00:00:19:27 - 00:00:23:27
I've kept these products as simple
as I possibly can.
00:00:23:27 - 00:00:26:07
I've not added any bells
and whistles onto them
00:00:26:07 - 00:00:29:06
just because I want you to know
what they do.
00:00:29:06 - 00:00:30:03
Fundamental.
00:00:30:03 - 00:00:34:00
Before we start turning on settings
and changing things and whatever else.
00:00:35:15 - 00:00:39:21
Okay, so let's start off
with the most basic type, which I'm
00:00:39:21 - 00:00:43:23
sure most of you are familiar with,
which is stock products.
00:00:44:07 - 00:00:47:03
So stock products,
00:00:47:03 - 00:00:50:14
it's the best way to describe them is,
well, the description that so,
00:00:50:18 - 00:00:55:09
so kind of like a pre manufactured goods
that's produced in bulk
00:00:55:09 - 00:00:59:01
and kept in inventory
for immediate sale. So
00:01:01:01 - 00:01:02:19
this is where we're talking about things
00:01:02:19 - 00:01:06:22
like off the shelf products, pick and pack
products, preprinted products
00:01:06:29 - 00:01:11:20
where you have a stock of them available
and then someone orders them.
00:01:11:21 - 00:01:14:16
There's no printing or special processes
required.
00:01:14:16 - 00:01:17:16
You just got to pack it in a box
and send it off.
00:01:17:19 - 00:01:19:01
That is a stock product.
00:01:19:01 - 00:01:20:27
Not really any bells and whistles.
00:01:20:27 - 00:01:24:22
When you're coming to adding it
to a basket and going through the check
00:01:24:22 - 00:01:28:01
out, there's no sort of artwork
associated with it or anything like that.
00:01:28:12 - 00:01:31:22
You are just directly
putting that product in the basket
00:01:32:05 - 00:01:35:05
and then proceeding through the checkout
process.
00:01:38:27 - 00:01:41:12
Nice and easy.
00:01:41:12 - 00:01:45:01
So the next one I want to show you
is static PDF.
00:01:45:10 - 00:01:46:17
You'll see this is this one.
00:01:46:17 - 00:01:51:14
Here is the only one that's actually got
an image as part of the basic product.
00:01:51:14 - 00:01:55:28
And that's because when we provide
a static PDF to this type of product,
00:01:56:08 - 00:01:58:29
it updates the image automatically
if we want it to,
00:01:58:29 - 00:02:02:23
just with an image
of the first page of the PDF, we upload.
00:02:03:16 - 00:02:07:18
So a PDF is pre uploaded to this product
00:02:07:28 - 00:02:10:28
and it can't be modified
really once it's in place.
00:02:10:28 - 00:02:13:26
We can upload a new PDF to the product
if we wish to do so.
00:02:13:26 - 00:02:15:02
Of course.
00:02:15:02 - 00:02:18:29
And then when order for the static PDF
product is placed,
00:02:19:08 - 00:02:22:08
the PDF is provided to the print operator
00:02:22:09 - 00:02:25:09
as the required output
file is ready to print.
00:02:25:19 - 00:02:28:19
So it is just a static PDF
sitting in the background.
00:02:28:25 - 00:02:33:12
An order is placed that then becomes
available in shared print operations.
00:02:33:21 - 00:02:37:03
Or if you've connected your system
to hot folders or anything else,
00:02:37:13 - 00:02:41:11
that artwork can be pushed there as well,
but it doesn't mean it's variable.
00:02:41:11 - 00:02:44:08
It is still static.
The PDF that you have provided.
00:02:46:03 - 00:02:47:28
Now later on in the process today
00:02:47:28 - 00:02:51:07
we'll be going through the setup process
of a static PDF product.
00:02:51:07 - 00:02:52:22
It is super simple.
00:02:52:22 - 00:02:56:04
But I'll leave it where we are for now.
00:02:56:16 - 00:03:00:05
However, in terms of the customer
experience, they still don't have much
00:03:00:05 - 00:03:03:26
more going on
in terms of special considerations.
00:03:03:26 - 00:03:08:03
They just add it to a basket and
then they go through the checkout process.
00:03:08:26 - 00:03:11:10
When you've got the static PDF, you do
00:03:11:10 - 00:03:14:23
have the ability to control
how the preview is displayed.
00:03:14:23 - 00:03:17:16
And this is something else
I'll show you a bit later on.
00:03:17:16 - 00:03:22:04
So my PDF I've uploaded is one page,
so I've kept it as a nice simple image,
00:03:22:13 - 00:03:26:26
but you can have it as kind of like a flip
book or just scrolling through pages.
00:03:26:26 - 00:03:29:05
There's various ways
you can have it displayed,
00:03:29:05 - 00:03:30:23
and I'll show you
this a little bit later on.
00:03:36:26 - 00:03:40:11
Next is a multi-part product.
00:03:41:05 - 00:03:45:09
Now, based on its regular use case,
a multi-part product
00:03:45:09 - 00:03:48:09
is a bit of a misleading name
in my opinion.
00:03:48:09 - 00:03:53:02
So what it's mostly used for
is as an upload product.
00:03:53:16 - 00:03:56:16
So whilst it does
have some more advanced capabilities,
00:03:56:16 - 00:03:59:27
which we're not really going
to be covering today, the primary purpose
00:03:59:27 - 00:04:03:29
of a multi-part product
is to use as an upload space.
00:04:04:10 - 00:04:08:16
So if you want to provide that your
customer with a product, they can select,
00:04:08:20 - 00:04:12:18
but they need to provide the artwork,
they can upload a relevant PDF
00:04:12:24 - 00:04:15:27
and then proceed into the basket
and through the checkout
00:04:15:27 - 00:04:18:27
process.
00:04:20:16 - 00:04:21:19
Okay.
00:04:21:19 - 00:04:26:07
And then as these uploaded PDFs
that the customers provided
00:04:26:07 - 00:04:29:19
are associated with a particular product,
they'll have associated
00:04:29:19 - 00:04:33:18
pricing, shipping capabilities
and whatever else you provided.
00:04:34:00 - 00:04:35:16
Once you
00:04:35:16 - 00:04:38:24
proceed through the ordering process,
just like any other type of product.
00:04:40:19 - 00:04:41:15
And then,
00:04:41:15 - 00:04:45:29
of course, once you've gone through
the ordering process, that uploaded PDF
00:04:45:29 - 00:04:50:04
is then provided to the print operator
in our shared print operations.
00:04:50:12 - 00:04:53:25
Or it can go
via hot folders or into the mix.
00:04:54:07 - 00:04:57:07
And when however, you have
your system linked up
00:04:58:16 - 00:04:59:25
now the multipart product
00:04:59:25 - 00:05:03:16
has a second purpose,
which is also for versioning products.
00:05:03:28 - 00:05:06:26
So I want to show you
a couple of different examples here
00:05:06:26 - 00:05:08:21
of a very simple setup.
00:05:08:21 - 00:05:13:01
One is my standard
multipart product example.
00:05:13:11 - 00:05:16:28
Again I've kept the the example here
really really simple.
00:05:16:28 - 00:05:19:21
Just to not really,
00:05:19:21 - 00:05:21:00
add any complexity.
00:05:21:00 - 00:05:24:05
The only thing I've done in
this case is added a few attributes.
00:05:24:13 - 00:05:27:13
And again attributes
we'll cover a little bit later on.
00:05:27:13 - 00:05:31:08
The only reason I've done this
is that when we now hit the start button,
00:05:31:08 - 00:05:36:02
which is a feature of the multipart
product, that will take us to
00:05:36:18 - 00:05:40:13
this very recently updated editor,
00:05:41:15 - 00:05:42:25
at the
00:05:42:25 - 00:05:45:17
time where we're doing this, of course,
00:05:45:17 - 00:05:51:04
and this updated editor is just to make it
a lot more user friendly for those
00:05:51:04 - 00:05:54:27
that are using it for the upload purposes
that it's normally used for.
00:05:56:19 - 00:06:00:02
So what you can see
is that we've got our attribute selections
00:06:00:02 - 00:06:01:09
over on the left hand side.
00:06:01:09 - 00:06:04:09
So it's showing us what we've selected
in terms of that product.
00:06:04:14 - 00:06:07:00
We've got things
such as upload requirements.
00:06:07:00 - 00:06:10:01
So if you want to try and control
what your customer is able
00:06:10:01 - 00:06:13:01
to actually upload
and what they should be uploading,
00:06:13:08 - 00:06:16:08
and then of course
you've got an area here to
00:06:16:29 - 00:06:21:01
either drag and drop or to select a file.
00:06:22:03 - 00:06:24:04
So let me just find something to do.
00:06:24:04 - 00:06:25:09
Drag and drop in here.
00:06:31:04 - 00:06:34:04
So I'll drag and drop a PDF.
00:06:35:14 - 00:06:36:17
Then it will immediately
00:06:36:17 - 00:06:39:17
give us a preview of the first page.
00:06:39:21 - 00:06:40:21
And then we can proceed.
00:06:40:21 - 00:06:43:23
Proceed to the general preview
and then adding it
00:06:43:23 - 00:06:46:23
to our basket.
00:06:48:26 - 00:06:53:23
And. And again
I'll be going through the basic setup
00:06:54:00 - 00:06:56:26
of a multi-part product
in in a few minutes
00:06:56:26 - 00:06:59:26
time.
00:07:05:10 - 00:07:08:10
Okay.
00:07:10:14 - 00:07:11:06
All right.
00:07:11:06 - 00:07:14:20
So the next type of product
is still the multipart,
00:07:14:20 - 00:07:17:27
but it is the versioned multipart.
00:07:18:16 - 00:07:22:10
So what this basically means
is that we can apply
00:07:23:05 - 00:07:25:10
or we can put one product
00:07:25:10 - 00:07:28:02
through the ordering process as such.
00:07:28:02 - 00:07:30:21
But we can have multiple versions
of that product.
00:07:30:21 - 00:07:31:27
So this is great.
00:07:31:27 - 00:07:34:27
This was mainly developed
for the label space.
00:07:34:27 - 00:07:37:27
So but is applicable to other areas
I'm sure.
00:07:38:15 - 00:07:39:23
This is kind of like
00:07:40:22 - 00:07:43:15
let's
say you want to order a few thousand,
00:07:43:15 - 00:07:46:23
units of something,
but you want a few different designs
00:07:46:23 - 00:07:50:07
on those units, and you want to be able
to price it as appropriate
00:07:50:07 - 00:07:54:03
to give the easiest pricing
or the best deal to your customers.
00:07:54:21 - 00:07:58:03
So what you can do
is you still using the multipart product,
00:07:58:03 - 00:08:01:10
can say how many versions you have of that
00:08:01:10 - 00:08:04:10
particular product.
00:08:04:17 - 00:08:07:17
How much you want of each of those.
00:08:09:00 - 00:08:11:00
And then we can click on upload
00:08:11:00 - 00:08:16:00
and it will give us this slightly changed
upload editor, where we have the ability
00:08:16:00 - 00:08:21:05
to apply a different artwork
to each version. And.
00:08:30:01 - 00:08:31:16
So I'll drag and drop to this one.
00:08:31:16 - 00:08:34:16
For example,
I can change the quantity if I wish to.
00:08:35:02 - 00:08:37:09
Then I can proceed to preview
to make sure I'm happy.
00:08:42:00 - 00:08:43:12
Saving next
00:08:43:12 - 00:08:46:12
and then the same one here.
00:08:58:04 - 00:08:59:15
Once we've uploaded
00:08:59:15 - 00:09:03:12
all of our products
and that way, or pieces of artwork,
00:09:03:21 - 00:09:06:21
you can see we've got it
loaded into our versions here.
00:09:07:05 - 00:09:10:05
We can add that to basket.
00:09:10:10 - 00:09:12:16
And then that comes into our basket
00:09:12:16 - 00:09:16:09
as two separate order lines.
00:09:16:09 - 00:09:18:03
So you'll see how that expands that entry.
00:09:18:03 - 00:09:20:28
We've
just put in our two different order lines.
00:09:20:28 - 00:09:24:06
And it will go through into shared
print operations as such as well.
00:09:26:25 - 00:09:29:24
Now one thing
I should mention about this uploaded
00:09:29:24 - 00:09:32:15
editor format before I proceed,
00:09:32:15 - 00:09:35:15
just for those that are
a bit more familiar with in figure,
00:09:35:20 - 00:09:41:01
if you are creating a brand
new storefront, I believe this updated
00:09:41:01 - 00:09:46:18
multi-part editor will automatically
be enabled on your multipart products.
00:09:47:01 - 00:09:49:14
You can turn it off if you wish to do so.
00:09:49:14 - 00:09:52:07
But for those that want to put this
on existing
00:09:52:07 - 00:09:55:07
storefronts, you do have to enable it.
00:09:55:10 - 00:09:59:13
So those that were existing
before we implemented the functionality.
00:10:00:05 - 00:10:03:16
So this is now testing my memory.
00:10:03:16 - 00:10:06:18
I think this might
be in the Infigo settings.
00:10:08:23 - 00:10:11:23
If I just search for multi
00:10:15:12 - 00:10:17:13
So there's an option here in Figo settings
00:10:17:13 - 00:10:20:13
which is use new multi-part editor UI.
00:10:20:22 - 00:10:23:25
If you have that turned on this slightly
reformulated
00:10:24:07 - 00:10:26:11
editor will be made available.
00:10:26:11 - 00:10:28:05
And again,
that's just a bit more friendly for
00:10:28:05 - 00:10:31:02
those that are just using it for upload
purposes. All right.
00:10:31:02 - 00:10:35:17
The next type of product we have
is probably a slightly lesser used type.
00:10:36:02 - 00:10:39:02
I'm not going to be going through
how to set this up today.
00:10:39:09 - 00:10:43:15
But there are other tutorials
and resources on this
00:10:43:15 - 00:10:46:15
if you are interested
in what it's capable of.
00:10:46:15 - 00:10:49:09
So this is kit products.
00:10:49:09 - 00:10:53:25
This allows you to give the user
the choice of adding multiple products
00:10:54:03 - 00:10:57:03
to the basket
through a single landing page,
00:10:57:17 - 00:11:03:00
and this can be very useful in allowing
the users to select different order
00:11:03:00 - 00:11:07:10
quantities, and can theoretically serve
as an alternative to using the category.
00:11:07:10 - 00:11:08:24
If you wish to do so as well.
00:11:09:25 - 00:11:12:02
An example use case for
00:11:12:02 - 00:11:15:16
is for a predefined pack of
corporate products or something like that.
00:11:15:27 - 00:11:19:14
So a single kit product
would act as a parent product,
00:11:19:24 - 00:11:23:06
bringing together
multiple separate defined child products.
00:11:23:18 - 00:11:27:16
So for this corporate pack,
it could be a pen, a T-shirt,
00:11:28:04 - 00:11:31:04
thumb drive,
whatever you want to include in there.
00:11:32:10 - 00:11:35:10
So I've got a very basic example of one
set up here.
00:11:36:02 - 00:11:38:22
There's a few different bits
and types of information
00:11:38:22 - 00:11:42:15
that you can have included, such
as whether products are mandatory.
00:11:42:23 - 00:11:47:22
If you want to allow the quantity changed,
and if you want to assign names
00:11:47:22 - 00:11:50:28
to the kit that you are utilizing.
00:12:04:06 - 00:12:07:06
Go ahead and add that one's a basket.
00:12:08:11 - 00:12:09:29
That comes in as a kit.
00:12:09:29 - 00:12:13:19
And again we have multiple different
order lines available.
00:12:21:15 - 00:12:23:12
For okay.
00:12:23:12 - 00:12:27:12
And then the final product type
I want to very briefly run through
00:12:27:12 - 00:12:30:14
before we move on to
something else is the multi
00:12:30:14 - 00:12:33:14
product custom products
which is a bit of a mouthful.
00:12:33:25 - 00:12:37:27
So this is a product which links
to various additional child products.
00:12:38:25 - 00:12:41:25
So we're getting up on a very,
very basic example of one here.
00:12:42:05 - 00:12:45:07
It's possible to create a product
landing page
00:12:46:01 - 00:12:49:01
that has multiple products linked to it.
00:12:50:01 - 00:12:53:24
So rather than having multiple product
pages across a category,
00:12:54:01 - 00:12:57:22
you could link several child products
to this one parent product.
00:12:58:12 - 00:13:01:16
So an example might be if you're trying
to sell a post that product
00:13:01:16 - 00:13:05:05
or something like that where you have
multiple different sizes available.
00:13:05:05 - 00:13:08:10
So in Europe
it might be A1, A2, A3 and so on.
00:13:09:08 - 00:13:10:04
But then you would have
00:13:10:04 - 00:13:13:19
one of these parent products,
which is just the poster itself.
00:13:14:02 - 00:13:17:02
And then you'd have buttons available
where if someone clicks it,
00:13:17:06 - 00:13:20:05
it's that size of poster
that gets added to their basket.
00:13:21:07 - 00:13:21:25
So again,
00:13:21:25 - 00:13:24:27
our incredibly basic example here,
no bells and whistles.
00:13:25:11 - 00:13:29:29
I've got my one parent product
which is the multi product custom product.
00:13:31:01 - 00:13:34:05
And then I've got that linked
to a couple of child products.
00:13:34:14 - 00:13:37:26
And if I click either of those
that is the product
00:13:37:26 - 00:13:40:26
that gets added to my basket.
