00:00:13:06 - 00:00:14:06
In this video, we're going to
00:00:14:06 - 00:00:17:05
look at setting up a static PDF product.
00:00:18:03 - 00:00:21:00
So static PDF
products are where the administrator
00:00:21:00 - 00:00:24:07
uploads a PDF to the Infigo storefront.
00:00:25:00 - 00:00:29:04
This PDF can be viewed
and ordered by a storefront user,
00:00:29:14 - 00:00:32:25
but it's not designed to be edited
in any way.
00:00:32:25 - 00:00:36:27
So however they view the PDF,
however it's uploaded, that's
00:00:36:27 - 00:00:39:27
what they can order in whatever quantity
they like.
00:00:41:07 - 00:00:45:12
So some examples of where
a static PDF product might be used.
00:00:45:27 - 00:00:52:29
So think in terms of things
like letterheads, booklets
00:00:53:00 - 00:00:56:21
or something like that, things
which might be statically branded
00:00:56:21 - 00:01:02:20
so won't need to change version
to version.
00:01:02:20 - 00:01:06:04
What we need to do
first is to create a new product,
00:01:06:24 - 00:01:09:20
so we do this the same way as we did
with stock products.
00:01:09:20 - 00:01:18:07
So catalog products
and product management.
00:01:18:07 - 00:01:20:08
So this is where the
list of our products appears.
00:01:22:15 - 00:01:22:23
There are
00:01:22:23 - 00:01:25:17
two ways to create a static PDF product.
00:01:27:12 - 00:01:30:06
One of those which will be covered
later in this tutorial
00:01:30:15 - 00:01:33:26
is to actually convert
a stock product type
00:01:34:03 - 00:01:36:16
into a static PDF product type.
00:01:37:12 - 00:01:40:16
The other, which was introduced
a bit more recently, is simply
00:01:40:16 - 00:01:43:28
the ability to directly
create a static PDF product.
00:01:44:26 - 00:01:49:06
So if I'm on my product management screen,
click on Add New.
00:01:50:12 - 00:01:54:22
You'll see now that I get a pop up window
when I'm creating a new product.
00:01:55:07 - 00:01:57:27
All I need to do here
is to enter a product name
00:01:58:09 - 00:02:01:07
and then select the type of product
that I want to create.
00:02:01:29 - 00:02:04:13
And you can see in there
that static PDF product
00:02:04:28 - 00:02:06:28
is one of those options.
00:02:07:23 - 00:02:10:14
You also have the ability
to directly upload the PDF
00:02:10:14 - 00:02:13:11
that you want to use
as part of this creation process.
00:02:13:24 - 00:02:16:23
Or you can do this later on.
00:02:17:00 - 00:02:23:00
Next, we’re going to convert a Stock product
into a Static PDF product.
00:02:24:20 - 00:02:27:23
So I'm going to go to add new.
00:02:28:00 - 00:02:31:25
Now, I could put in as much detail in here
as I like, but for the purposes
00:02:31:25 - 00:02:36:11
of our static PDF product here,
I'm going to keep this nice and basic
00:02:36:24 - 00:02:49:17
just with a name,
and then I'm going to save that product.
00:02:50:09 - 00:02:53:14
It will appear in the list
and you can see by default it's
00:02:53:15 - 00:02:58:25
a stock product.
00:02:58:25 - 00:03:03:06
So next we have to actually convert
that product to define that product
00:03:03:06 - 00:03:06:17
as a static PDF product type.
00:03:06:17 - 00:03:09:27
So this is done again
within the catalog section,
00:03:11:21 - 00:03:13:11
product types.
00:03:13:11 - 00:03:16:14
You can see all the different product
types that we have available here.
00:03:17:07 - 00:03:25:04
We're going to go to static PDF products.
00:03:25:04 - 00:03:29:07
So this page will detail
all of your products which are static PDF
00:03:29:07 - 00:03:32:07
products
within this particular storefront.
00:03:32:07 - 00:03:33:06
Obviously, at the moment
00:03:33:06 - 00:03:37:03
we don't have any entries in here,
so we're going to add a new entry
00:03:39:29 - 00:03:42:20
and all we need to do here is to select
which product
00:03:42:21 - 00:03:46:01
we want to convert
into a static PDF product
00:03:46:17 - 00:03:51:24
and then click on the create a new PDF
Product Icon, and that will take us
00:03:52:01 - 00:03:54:20
directly to the configuration options
00:03:54:28 - 00:04:04:11
for that static PDF product.
00:04:04:11 - 00:04:05:28
So there's a few options in here.
00:04:05:28 - 00:04:08:19
I'll just focus on a couple of the main
ones.
00:04:08:19 - 00:04:11:24
Primarily,
we need to actually upload the PDF
00:04:11:24 - 00:04:14:20
we want to use as our static PDF product
00:04:15:10 - 00:04:19:28
so we can click on this upload icon here.
00:04:19:28 - 00:04:22:21
Just select the relevant PDF file.
00:04:22:21 - 00:04:24:26
So I've got loaded on my machine here
00:04:27:02 - 00:04:32:11
and that becomes an uploaded file.
00:04:32:11 - 00:04:34:13
We then got this view type.
00:04:34:13 - 00:04:37:14
So there's a few different options in here
and this is just how
00:04:37:28 - 00:04:41:11
the product will be
previewed on the storefront.
00:04:42:27 - 00:04:44:23
So for example,
00:04:45:03 - 00:04:48:21
the product I've got here
is a two sided piece of A4 paper.
00:04:49:10 - 00:04:54:02
So something like the preview flipbook
might be quite useful for us.
00:04:54:02 - 00:04:57:20
It's a very aesthetically pleasing
way of viewing a document
00:04:57:20 - 00:05:06:18
such as that.
00:05:06:18 - 00:05:10:27
Okay, another option you might want to
look at in here is the preview processing.
00:05:11:16 - 00:05:16:00
So this is if you need to actually process
the document before you preview it.
00:05:16:00 - 00:05:19:13
So as if it's in the wrong rotation
orientation, for example,
00:05:19:13 - 00:05:27:28
or if you need to mirror it,
you can select that within here.
00:05:27:28 - 00:05:28:11
Okay.
00:05:28:11 - 00:05:31:13
So I'm just going to go with save
and continue. Edit
00:05:35:22 - 00:05:37:04
and then I want to actually view
00:05:37:04 - 00:05:40:04
that product on our storefront
and see how it works.
00:05:40:17 - 00:05:44:03
So I'm just going to duplicate that tab
00:05:44:27 - 00:05:48:11
and just go find that product
within my product catalog
00:05:53:24 - 00:05:55:06
and edit
00:05:55:06 - 00:06:00:04
if I wanted to get back to the PDF
Configuration settings.
00:06:00:04 - 00:06:03:03
So like I've got here,
so let's close that down.
00:06:03:13 - 00:06:06:28
I could just go straight
for this static pdf config.
00:06:07:15 - 00:06:11:14
Now it takes me back to the same options.
00:06:11:14 - 00:06:14:05
I want to view the product,
so I'm just going to hit this button here
00:06:17:13 - 00:06:20:02
and it's fairly
basic setup at the moment, of course.
00:06:20:10 - 00:06:21:21
However, the main difference
00:06:21:21 - 00:06:25:10
from the stock product
team it from a visual side of things
00:06:25:22 - 00:06:30:18
is that we've now got this preview
of a particular PDF that we've uploaded.
00:06:31:23 - 00:06:36:16
And because I chose the booklet
preview or preview flipbook,
00:06:37:23 - 00:06:40:24
it means I could actually get this quite
aesthetically pleasing way
00:06:40:25 - 00:06:51:16
of visualizing that particular document.
00:06:51:16 - 00:06:55:11
Now, of course,
we want to put a lot more detail into this
00:06:55:11 - 00:06:58:12
setup here,
00:06:58:12 - 00:07:01:09
and a lot of the ways
in which you can do this
00:07:01:18 - 00:07:05:14
are still exactly the same as we saw
for the stock products.
00:07:05:29 - 00:07:09:12
So for example, if you wanted to put
some descriptions in there, you do that
00:07:09:12 - 00:07:10:29
the same way as the stock products
00:07:13:10 - 00:07:14:19
pricing information
00:07:14:19 - 00:07:17:27
would still be through the product variant
00:07:17:27 - 00:07:21:05
stock information through the product
variant delivery information
00:07:21:05 - 00:07:22:23
through the product variant.
00:07:22:23 - 00:07:26:19
So the same way in which we've seen
in previous videos for the stock products,
00:07:27:08 - 00:07:29:25
most of those
00:07:30:06 - 00:07:32:09
means of applying settings
00:07:32:16 - 00:07:35:00
and information are exactly the same.
00:07:36:17 - 00:07:38:09
So just to
00:07:40:01 - 00:07:40:25
detail one
00:07:40:25 - 00:07:43:22
or two of those,
just to make it nice and clear for us.
00:07:44:13 - 00:07:53:06
So if I put a couple of descriptions
in here,
00:07:53:06 - 00:07:56:18
so my descriptions are completed,
their pictures
00:07:57:23 - 00:08:00:02
might not be massively relevant here.
00:08:01:02 - 00:08:05:00
So there's already a picture
applied from the PDF that's been uploaded,
00:08:05:00 - 00:08:14:03
but you can apply some more
if you wish to do so.
00:08:14:03 - 00:08:17:09
And then we also spoke
of the product variant.
00:08:17:20 - 00:08:22:00
So this is as we saw in previous video
for information like pricing,
00:08:22:21 - 00:08:25:09
pricing tiers, delivery options
00:08:25:21 - 00:08:28:16
and stock options.
00:08:28:16 - 00:08:31:16
So if I just go to product
variance and edit,
00:08:32:12 - 00:08:35:05
that will take me to
my product variants options
00:08:38:01 - 00:08:38:20
and account.
00:08:38:20 - 00:08:40:16
For example,
00:08:41:05 - 00:08:46:00
put in a price.
