Low-cost mainstream AI like OpenAI's ChatGPT (amongst many others) can be incredibly effective in saving time during storefront builds and maintenance. This covers a wide array of storefront related tasks. In this section, we'll cover:
Infigo contains various bulk import capabilities, including the ability to bulk upload CSVs of up to 200 customers per import (multiple imports can be performed).
A template can be downloaded from the Customer Management screen in your Infigo admin, ensuring correct formatting and correct data columns. Populate this template and import to automatically generate your customer lists.
Imported data includes:
And more..
The bulk product tools include both import and export capabilities. You have the ability to export your existing catalogue, with full details of all key product fields.
This database can be amended and re-uploaded to make small tweaks to existing products. In addition, new rows can be added to the database. When re-imported, new products will be generated.
This import tool has additional advanced capabilities such as:
And much more..
Depending on your setup, Access Permissions can end up being a complex web of requirements, weightings, scopes and targets. To create and manage all of these manually can be challenging, to say the least.
Infigo includes a bulk import tool for your access permissions scopes and targets, making saving you valuable time in this process.
Product groups are a means of bundling the technical details of a custom group of products together. Changing a value in the product group will mean the same value change propogates to all products contained within that group.
Details included in the product group covers most of the settings found in a product's Product Variants screen. This includes:
And more..
Quite well known and incredibly useful. Create carbon copies of your products or entire categories (including or excluding products). Allows you to rapidly produce "same-but-different" products, where most of the specification is identical but small changes are required.
You will find reference to tokens on quite a few of the pages within your Infigo admin. They're small boxes containing text strings surrounded by "%" symbols.
These placeholders allow you to throw dynamic information into your storefront content without having to worry about manually propogating any updates you make.
For example, tokens exist allowing you to directly input your storefront name, URL or logo. These might be used in many locations on your site. Whereas you may otherwise have to update every instance manually, referencing the relevant token will mean that all applicable instances will be driven by the one overriding value for that token in your storefront's settings.
Tokens are very situational dependent, so you may not see the same set available in every location, however, common token sets include:
Many similar pages share a common layout (such as product pages, account pages, etc). These layouts can be switched or edited using the Layout Manager functionality. This in itself is a huge time saver, however what if you want to add custom content to one of these page layouts?
For this, we provide a range of empty Editable Content blocks. Like all of these blocks, you can populate it with rich text, HTML or Content Templates. These content blocks can be added to any of your page layouts, giving you a fully customisable block which can be added to any of your key templates with ease.
The layout manager itself is a powerful tool.........*****
This area of your Infigo admin lets you apply CSS styling changes on any area of your site in one location. This means it's possible to add styling here that will propogate to specific elements or your site, or your entire site depending on how you implement it.
This is in contrast to placing styling changes on individual pages, causing a mammoth headache if you ever need to make any changes.
This area can also be used to upload resources to your storefront such as imagery, PDFs, documents or JS scripts. This again means they can be accessed from one central location instead of having multiple references and locations which can quickly get out of hand.
AI
Writing CSS is yet another area where mainstream AI can streamline your processes, especially if it isn't an area of expertise you have available to you. Why not ask it to write your code for you? Just need to make sure you give it examples of areas you want your new CSS to apply, so it has the relevant context to create it correctly. Especially handy if you're just looking to make minor alterations.
Centralise your pricing structure using the generic pricing script. This piece of functionality allows you to link the pricing of products to CSVs uploaded to your storefront. If applicable, multiple products can use the same CSV.
Need to update your pricing? No problem! Just upload an updated CSV and all products referencing the old pricing script will automatically reference it!
We have loads of example resources for getting your own pricing scripts up and running (see buttons below).
AI
Why not consider letting AI create the CSV for you? If you have a lot of attribute options or values, these pricing script tables can get very large, very quickly. Ask AI to construct the grid of all possible values for you and feed it all of your available combinations. It should be able to construct a grid so all you have to do in fill in the prices!
A powerful feature allowing you to create your own customised Content Templates. Write boilerplate code interspersed with placeholder fields. The end result is a re-usable Content Template where specific pieces of information are presented as inputs for the storefront admin to fill out.
This ensures consistency throughout your site with minimal effort, especially with heavily customised pages.
AI
Yet another key area where mainstream AI can be incorporated into your workflow. If you have a structure in mind, provide your chosen AI model with as much information and context as possible. It should be able to provide you with a good HTML structure (although a specialist may need to give it a good check through). At this point, simply place your placeholders into the generated code.
Remember, using AI to write code is likely an iterative process as it's unlikely to get it right in one go. Test out the result and provide feedback (and if possible examples) as to why it isn't what you wanted. By very clear in how you want the result to change.
A simple but powerful tool allowing you to save your carefully crafted content within your Content Templates. From entire sections to individual embed fields, you can save a predesigned element of your template for re-use in matching locations elsewhere on your site.
Infigo Insights is our advanced reporting tool which utilises connections between your Infigo platform and the Metabase application. It allows the creation of advanced reports and dashboards using a large number of data points taken from your Infigo platform.
Metabase is specially set up for this kind of functionality, so instead of manually trawling through order, customer or many other forms of data to get the metrics you need, you can set up a report format which can be repeatedly used at the click of a button (and even show inside Infigo admin itself).
AI
Metabase "questions" are created using SQL, a language specialising in the querying and maintenance of databases. For those without SQL skills, Metabase contains brilliant report creation wizards, virtually guiding you through the process. However, why not use your chosen AI tool to write the SQL code for you?
Simply feed it information on available data fields, tell it exactly the format of output you want and, hey presto, instant data!
Address books are collections of addresses which can be assigned to various customers under various conditions. As these can be extremely numerous, Infigo have built in the ability to batch import the addresses within an address book, along with the addresses themselves!
AI
Perhaps another potential use for your AI assistant. Depending on what form you have these addresses at the moment, you may be able to utilise your assistant in quickly creating an updated document which contains the formatting that Infigo can read.
Simple, quick and effective. I sincerely hope by now that everyone knows about this feature, but you never know!
This tool allows you to quickly jump from front end pages to the associated back end page, for super quick content modification.
For example, you can go straight to product configuration pages from the product's landing page. Or, you can go straight to header configuration from any page where the header is visible.
