This is a step by step tutorial about the integration of Kinguin WooCommerce plugin and FLUX Theme for WordPress.
When theme is installed:
1 – Go to https://www.kinguin.net/integration/ and create a virtual store
2 – When Account for store is created, go to the Kinguin dashboard and Add a Store
Use a valid url for your site on the “Store URL” field, fill the other fields with valid information and click on Add Store
When Store is created, Copy the API KEY on notepad
Then go to WebHooks (button on top right) and stay on this page
3 – On your WordPress dashboard install Kinguin API for WooCommerce plugin from WP repo
4 – Once installed go to Kinguin Settings and
- Paste the API Key that you get when created the Kinguin integration account.
- Select Production on Environment if you directly use your site url as store url
- You got webhook urls and secret keys. You must copy them and paste on the Webhooks screen of kinguin integration dashboard page
- Keep enabled the “Enable auto import vi webhook” (the green switch). This imports the Kinguin database to woocommerce.
When everything is connected without errors, Save Changes and go to Import Products
The automatic import of Kinguin Products goes to Woommerce database. Products are imported with images, titles, descriptions and ATTRIBUTES, which acts like taxonomies.
5 – On Flux Theme Settings, go to Kinguin Single Product Frontend option and mark Yes
This enables a quick customization of template on frontend based on css and js tweaks
