Create a product with title, description, and cover image in multiple languages

Flickrocket supports English (en), German (de), Spanish (es), Italian (it), French (fr), and Portuguese (pt). 

Product with title and description in multiple languages:

 

"product": {
    .
    .
    .
    "locales": [{
			"title": "ePub (epub) (en)",
			"description": "ePub (epub) - Description (en)",
			"language_id": "en"
		},{
			"title": "ePub (epub) (de)",
			"description": "ePub (epub) - Description (de)",
			"language_id": "de"
		}],
	.
	.
	.

 

Title with special characters or description with html code must be escaped to not break the json format.

 

"files": {
	    .
	    .
	    .
		"product_picture": [{
			"language_id": "en",
			"picture" : "Pictures/VTS_01_1_01.JPG"
		},{
			"language_id": "de",
			"picture" : "Pictures/VTS_01_1_02.JPG"
		}]
	},

 

Uploading additional Pictures (Preview Pictures) 

 

"files": {
        .
        .
        "pictures": ["Pictures/VTS_01_1_01.JPG", "Pictures/VTS_01_1_02.JPG"],
        .
        .
	
	},

 

Assign product to a category

 

"product": {
    .
    .
    "categories": [{
    			"category_id": 4
    		}],
    .
    .
}

 

The categorie_id can be found under Products->Categories. In the panel "Category Information" is the ID listed.

Setup a new price model in the Batch upload

For complex pricing scheme it can be easier to create the price model in the batch file. The title must be the same for a specific price scheme, the first upload with a new title create a new price model.

Prices need to be written in cent, the last two digits get placed after the decimal point. A price of $32 must be written as 3200, $3.95 is 395.


"price": {
	"title": "Price model title, must be the same for all following uploads.", 
	"currencies": [ 
	  {
		"currency": "usd",
		"price": 3200
	  },
	  {
		"currency": "gbp", 
		"price": 1500
	  }
	]
},
It is recommended to have at least one EURO or US Dollar price. This will be used to convert other currencies.
