Specification - Attribute

31 Jul 2026

Specification The Specification attributes let you record technical or regulatory details about a product, such as strength, type, and volume. These fields are optional and are private by default, meaning they are visible only to store administrators unless you choose to change this. Available attributes: Strength: the strength or potency of the product (e.g. alcohol percentage, dosage) Type: the type or variant classification of the product Volume (ml): the volume of the product in milliliters Note: These attributes default to Private. If you want customers to see this information on the product page, you need to change the visibility setting. Setting up Specification attributes 1. Review the attributes Go to Assortment → Products → Product Settings. In the panel on the right, locate the Product Attributes section. Scroll down until you find the Specification heading. For each attribute, click the edit icon and select your preferred visibility option, then click Save. 2. Add specification details to a product Go to Assortment → Products and open the product you wish to edit. Scroll to the bottom-right of the product page. You will find the Specification fields, where you can fill in the relevant details for each attribute. If you have any questions, please contact customer support.

Safely bulk edit regular prices and sale prices

2 Mar 2026

Change many prices at once with the correct price list and a controlled product selection. This guide applies to store administrators in Go, Plus, and Pro. It describes regular prices and sale prices in Abicart. Customer group prices, sub-stores, and prices controlled by an ERP system need to be checked separately; a manual change could otherwise affect the wrong price or be overwritten during the next synchronization. 1. Choose the right type of change and save the original Campaign/sale price: keep the regular price and enter a separate lower price.Changed regular price: use the percentage tool in the correct regular price list. Note the product selection, currencies, and current prices before the change. Under Catalogue → Pricing you can copy a price list. Keep the original unchanged and give the working copy a clear name. A copy does not automatically replace the store's active list; check the connection under Usage when it is to be used. Check the regular price and sale price respectively, and the correct store or customer group. 2. Set sale price for selected products This method calculates a discount from the regular price, not from an existing sale price. For example, the value 20 results in 80 if the regular price is 100. An existing sale price for a selected product can be replaced. Therefore, exclude products that should not be changed before you save; the operation does not automatically leave previous offers untouched. When advertising price reductions to consumers in Sweden, show the lowest price in the 30 days before the reduction for goods covered by these rules. Calculate any advertised percentage or amount reduction from that price. The tool calculates from the regular price, so check the advertised discount and displayed reference price before the campaign. In Enter the discount percentage based on the regular price, enter the discount without a minus sign, for example 20. The minus sign in −20 is used in the separate tool for changing existing price rows. In the discount action, 0 removes the sale price. Go to Catalogue → Products and select the products to be changed. Check the number of products and any additional pages in the listing. Open Perform action on the selected. Select Additional operations and then Set discount percentage based on regular price. Enter the discount percentage, for example 20 for a 20% lower price, and save. 0 removes the sale price for the selected products. This is not the same as making the product free, and it does not restore a previous campaign price. Do not use 0 when you want to keep an existing sale price. If a sale price list is missing Check Catalogue → Pricing → Usage. Select an intended list for Sale price for the correct store, without accidentally changing the regular price list. Review the list's contents before connecting it to the store. 3. Increase or decrease prices in a selected price list The percentage tool changes existing price rows in the list you open. It does not automatically create a campaign discount calculated from another list. Use a copy when the prices need to be restorable. Go to Catalogue → Pricing and open the correct list. Search for the products, for example using the product group filter. Open Tools. Select the percentage-change action: Tillämpa procentuell ändring / Apply percentage change to prices. Enter the change for each affected currency: −20 lowers an existing price by 20%, while 10 increases it by 10%. Leave currencies that should not be changed empty. Check the rounding; the tool rounds up according to the selected precision. Select Only apply to prices in current filter selection when only the filtered selection should be changed. Without this limitation, other price rows in the list may also be affected. Check the selections and select Apply change. 4. Check and restore safely Check a few products with and without previous sale prices, affected currencies, and any variants, both in the administration and in the store. Also check as a logged-in customer if customer group prices are used. A change to the base product's price is not proof that all variants' own prices have been changed. Restore from documented original prices or the saved price list. Lowering 100 to 50 with −50% and then increasing it by +50% results in 75, not 100. Rounding can also make a mathematical recalculation uncertain. In case of interruption: read the actual prices before running the tool again; a repeated percentage increase can change them further. A scheduled price list switch can change which list is used and revert when the period expires. Check the start, end, which usage is changed, and which list is restored. A global switch does not automatically change separate customer group connections. Do not delete lists needed for restoration. Quick startChoose sale price or regular price and save the original prices.Check the product selection, price list, currency, and usage connection.Make the intended change and review the result before widespread use.Check the store price and restore from the original when the campaign is over. SubscriptionBasic product prices and sale prices are available in Go, Plus, and Pro. Customer groups, multi-shop, and ERP integrations have their own subscription and contract terms. Check the feature that will be used in addition to the standard pricing.

Advanced: To position an egg image, you may need to use custom CSS.Save & Publish Track which eggs are found To see how many times an egg has been clicked, add UTM parameters to the links. Read more on the Google website about UTM parameters Then in GA4 you can see: Which eggs are found Which ones convert best Good luck and feel free to feedback to us at Abicart if you have tried an Easter egg hunt and if it was successful.If you think the guide can be supplemented with some smart ideas, you are also welcome to tip us at hello@abicart.se.

General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

18 Dec 2025

The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a European legislation that regulates general product safety in the European Union. In Swedish, it is usually translated as the "General Product Safety Regulation". The aim of the regulation is to ensure that products sold on the market are safe for consumers.New law on general product safety: what it means for shop ownersA new law, the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), has recently entered into force in the European Union (EU). The law, known as the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), aims to ensure that all products sold on the market are safe for consumers. It replaces the previous General Product Safety Directive and adapts the legislation to the current market situation, including the rapid growth of e-commerce and new technologies.The new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) applies to all consumer products sold or made available for sale in the EU. It covers both physical products sold in shops and products sold online. Some examples of products covered by the GPSR are:Electronics: For example, mobile phones, household appliances, and other consumer electronics.Children's products and toys: Toys, strollers, high chairs and other products intended for children.Clothing and footwear: All types of clothing, footwear and accessories.Cosmetics and personal care products: Perfume, skincare products, make-up and other beauty products.Sports and leisure equipment: Bicycles, skateboards, camping equipment, and exercise equipment.Furniture and home furnishings: Tables, chairs, lamps, and other furniture or home accessories.Tools and garden equipment: Hand tools, lawnmowers, and other home and garden equipment.The Regulation also covers products incorporating new technologies, such as smart products connected to the Internet of Things (IoT).However, it excludes certain products that are already regulated by specific EU legislation, such as pharmaceuticals, food, vehicles, and medical devices. These follow different regulatory frameworks that have their own safety requirements.For shop owners, this means new requirements and guidelines to follow to ensure that the products they sell are safe and comply with the law. Here we go through what the new law means and what you as an online seller need to do.What does the new law mean?The new GPSR law tightens product safety requirements across the EU. The law applies to all products placed on the market and is aimed at manufacturers, importers and distributors - which includes you as an online trader. The basic principle is that all products should be safe to use and not pose a risk to consumers.The new rules also increase the requirements for traceability and documentation of products. This means that manufacturers and sellers must be able to trace the product throughout the supply chain and, if necessary, quickly withdraw dangerous products from the market.Actions that shop owners need to takeTo comply with the new law, retailers selling goods to consumers need to take a number of steps:1. carry out risk assessmentsMake sure that the products sold are risk assessed and meet all safety requirements. If there is a risk associated with the product, this information should be clearly indicated to consumers.2. improve traceability There should be clear information on the manufacturer, importer and supplier of the product, so that the product can be traced throughout the supply chain. Make sure you have accurate and up-to-date contact details for the supplier.3. safety information for consumersProvide clear information on how to use the product safely. Warnings and safety instructions should be clear, visible and easy to understand.4. Respond quickly to dangerous productsHave procedures in place to quickly recall products from the market if they are found to be dangerous. It is also important to report dangerous products to the authorities in time.5. documentation and record keeping Keep all relevant documentation showing that products meet safety requirements. This may include test results, certificates or other technical documentation.How do I label my productsTo comply with the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), you need to label your products in a way that ensures they are traceable and meet safety requirements.Here are some key points on how products should be labeled:1. product identificationEach product should be clearly marked with a unique identifier, such as an article number, serial number or product model. This makes it possible to trace specific products in case of problems.2. name and contact details of the manufacturer and importerThe label should contain information about the manufacturer, including name and address. If you are an importer selling products from outside the EU, your company's name and contact details should also appear on the product.This information should be clear and easy for consumers to understand, so that they can contact the company if necessary.3. Warnings and safety instructionsIf the product has any specific risks, this should be clearly stated on the label. Provide information on how to use the product safely, as well as any age limits if the product is not suitable for children.Warnings and safety information should be in the languages used in the countries where the product is sold.4. CE marking (if applicable)If your product is covered by specific directives that require CE marking (e.g. toys, electrical equipment, or personal protective equipment), the product should bear the CE symbol. The CE marking indicates that the product complies with all applicable safety and health regulations in the EU.5. instructions for use and documentationProvide instructions for use or a manual describing how to use the product correctly and safely. For complex products, the documentation should be more comprehensive and include maintenance and installation instructions.6. packaging labelingIn addition to labeling on the product itself, the packaging should also contain relevant information, such as the product's identification, warning messages and the manufacturer's contact information. This is particularly important if the product has multiple parts or if there is a risk of suffocation (e.g. small parts that may pose a danger to children).Timeline for when the measures should be implementedTo be ready for the full application of the new law, there are specific timelines to follow:- January 1, 2025:Most provisions of the GPSR come into force. By this date, shop owners should have implemented the new procedures for risk assessment, traceability, and safety information.- June 30, 2025:Companies should have complete procedures in place for product recalls and reporting to authorities on dangerous products. Ensure that all processes are tested and documented.- January 1, 2026:Full compliance with all GPSR requirements. Non-compliant companies may face fines or other penalties.The new regulation is an important step to protect consumers and improve the safety of products in the EU. By following the above measures, you as a shop owner can ensure that your products are safe and meet the new requirements.If you have more questions or want to know more about the law, read more hereThe text is compiled by Chat GPTHow can I enter the information in Abicart?- Add information to the product description- Create an attribute in the product template (only available for Plus and Pro)

Niche Subscription Boxes: Personalized and Curated ExperiencesSubscription boxes have been a popular ecommerce trend for years, and it doesn't look like they're going to slow down in 2024. What makes them so attractive is the ability to offer customers a personalized and curated experience. Subscription boxes can be customized for specific niches, such as gourmet food, beauty products, fitness equipment or hobby materials.For local business owners, this is a great opportunity to leverage your existing expertise. For example, if you run a local gourmet shop, consider creating a monthly subscription with your best-selling products. By offering a subscription service, you can build a loyal customer base and create stable revenue.2. Eco-friendly Products: Meet the Demand for SustainabilitySustainability isn't just a trend-it's becoming a core value for consumers around the world. In 2024, companies that focus on eco-friendly products are likely to see significant growth. Whether it's selling reusable household items, waste-free beauty products or sustainable fashion, there's a growing market for environmentally conscious goods.For existing local businesses, consider expanding your range to include eco-friendly options or even launching a dedicated online store focused on sustainability. Starting from scratch allows you to position your brand as an eco-friendly option from the outset, which can help you attract an engaged customer base.3. Health products: Catering to a health-oriented marketThe health and wellness industry continues to flourish, and e-commerce offers the perfect platform to reach health-conscious consumers.

Whether it's handmade jewelry, custom-made furniture, or locally sourced food, consumers are increasingly looking for unique, high-quality products with a story behind them.If you're a local artisan or run a small shop selling craft products, consider setting up an online store to reach customers beyond your immediate area.

For example, a local cooking school could offer online cooking classes, or a business consultancy could sell downloadable templates and guides.6. Pet products: tapping into a passionate marketPet ownership is on the rise, and with it the demand for pet-related products. From gourmet pet food to customized accessories, pet owners are willing to spend on high-quality, unique products for their four-legged friends. In 2024, the pet market will continue to be a lucrative area for ecommerce entrepreneurs.If you own a pet store or have a passion for animals, consider expanding your offering online. Even new businesses can find success by focusing on a specific niche within the pet industry, such as eco-friendly pet products or luxury pet accessories.7. Personalized Products: Offer Customization and UniquenessPersonalization has become a key trend in e-commerce, with consumers increasingly looking for products that feel unique to them. This can include anything from customized clothing and accessories to personalized gifts and home décor.For local businesses that already offer some form of customization, moving online can open up new revenue streams. For example, a local print shop could offer custom t-shirts and mugs through an online store, or a jeweler could create a line of personalized jewelry.8. Used and Vintage Products: Capitalizing on the Circular EconomyThe circular economy is gaining ground, and consumers are increasingly interested in buying second-hand and vintage products. Whether it's clothing, furniture or electronics, there is a growing market for previously loved goods.For local second-hand or vintage shops, moving to an online platform can significantly increase your customer base.

Focus on long-tail keywords (e.g. "organic cotton baby clothes Sweden") as they often have less competition and are more likely to convert.Understand Local Search Trends: Since you're targeting the Scandinavian market, it's important to take local search trends into account. Use tools like Google Trends to see how certain keywords perform in specific countries or regions within Scandinavia.Analyze Competitors: Look at what keywords your competitors are targeting. This can provide insights into what works in your niche and help you identify gaps in your own keyword strategy.Incorporate Keywords Naturally: Once you've identified your target keywords, incorporate them naturally into your product titles, descriptions, meta tags, and URLs.. Avoid keyword stuffing, as this can negatively impact your rankings.2. On-Page Optimization: Improve Your Ecommerce PagesOn-page optimization is about adjusting various elements of your website to improve its visibility in search engine results. Here are some key aspects of on-page SEO for ecommerce:Optimize Product Pages: Each product page should be optimized for a specific keyword. Make sure the keyword is included in the product title, description, meta description and URL. Use high-quality images with descriptive alt-texts and include customer reviews to increase credibility.Create Unique, High-Quality Content: Avoid using manufacturers' descriptions that are duplicated across other websites. Instead, create unique, detailed descriptions that highlight the benefits and features of your products. This not only improves SEO but also provides a better user experience.Use Structured Data: Implement structured data (schema markup) on your product pages. This helps search engines better understand your content and can lead to rich snippets in search results, such as product reviews, prices and availability.Optimize for Mobile: With mobile commerce on the rise, it's crucial that your ecommerce site is fully optimized for mobile users. Make sure your site loads quickly, is easy to navigate on smaller screens and offers a seamless checkout process.Internal Linking: Use internal links to guide users to other relevant pages on your site. This not only improves the user experience, but also helps search engines crawl and index your site more effectively.3. Content Marketing: Drive Traffic and Build AuthorityContent marketing is a powerful way to attract and engage customers while improving your SEO. By creating valuable content, you can build authority within your niche and drive more organic traffic to your website. Here's how to implement content marketing for your ecommerce store:Start a Blog: A blog is a great platform for publishing content that resonates with your target audience. Write about topics related to your products, industry trends, or how-to guides. For example, if you sell eco-friendly products, you could write about the benefits of sustainable living or tips for reducing your carbon footprint.Incorporate Keywords Strategically: When creating content, make sure to incorporate your target keywords naturally. Use variations of your primary keywords and include them in headings, subheadings and in the body of the text.Create Shareable Content: Produce content that is engaging and shareable, such as infographics, videos and lists. Share this content across your social channels to increase visibility and drive traffic back to your website.Leverage User-Generated Content: Encourage your customers to create content related to your products, such as reviews, testimonials, and photos. This not only provides social proof but also generates fresh content for your website, which is beneficial for SEO.Update and Reuse Content: SEO is an ongoing process. Regularly update your existing content to keep it relevant and optimized. You can also repurpose content in different formats, such as turning a blog post into a video or infographic.4. Technical SEO: The backbone of your e-commerce siteTechnical SEO refers to the underlying elements of your website that affect its performance and visibility. Here are some technical SEO tips for ecommerce:Improve Web Page Speed: Web page speed is a crucial factor for both user experience and SEO. Optimize your images, use a content delivery network (CDN) and minimize HTTP requests to improve loading times.Make sure your website is secure: Security is a priority for both users and search engines. Make sure your website uses HTTPS and has a secure payment gateway.Optimize Your Web Structure: A clear and logical web structure makes it easier for search engines to crawl and index your site. Use a simple URL structure, create a sitemap and make sure all your pages are easy to navigate.Fix Broken Links: Broken links can damage your SEO and provide a poor user experience. Check and fix broken links on your website regularly.Use 301 redirects: When you delete or move a page, use 301 redirects to guide users to the new URL. This helps preserve the SEO value of the original page.5. Local SEO: Target Scandinavian CustomersSince your target market is in Scandinavia, it's important to optimize your e-commerce store for local SEO. Here are some tips:Create Localized Content: Tailor your content to the specific needs and interests of Scandinavian customers. This can include writing in local languages, addressing regional issues, or highlighting products that are popular in specific areas.Optimize for Local Search Terms: Include local keywords in your content, such as "organic skincare products in Sweden" or "sustainable furniture in Norway."Register with Google My Business: If you have a physical location, make sure to register your business with Google My Business. This can help your store appear in local search results and Google Maps.Get Listed in Local Directories: Make sure your business is listed in local online directories and review sites relevant to Scandinavia.Conclusion: Achieve e-commerce success with SEOSEO is an essential part of a successful e-commerce strategy, especially in the competitive Scandinavian market.

Customers want to feel confident about their buying experience.Easy payment optionsMake sure customers have multiple options to pay for their products. The easier it is to pay, the more likely customers are to complete their purchase.Good customer serviceBe responsive to customers' needs and make sure they get quick help if they have any questions or problems.Don't forget that the customer experience is an ongoing process and it's important that you regularly evaluate and improve your e-commerce business to keep customers happy.

Increase your revenue through up-selling and cross-selling

18 Dec 2025

As an e-commerce owner, you're always looking for ways to increase sales, improve customer loyalty, and boost your revenue. One proven way to do this is through the use of upselling and cross-selling techniques.What is up-selling and cross-selling?Cross-selling means offering a product of higher quality than the one in which a customer has expressed interest, with the aim of increasing the value of the sale. Cross-selling is offering customers complementary products that can increase the value of their purchase and result in additional sales.For example, if you are selling a camera, you can make additional sales by offering a higher quality camera that produces better quality images, whereas cross-selling would involve offering additional camera accessories such as a tripod, lens filter or a case.Benefits of up-selling and cross-sellingUp-selling and cross-selling techniques have a number of advantages for your webshop. Here are some examples:Increased revenueOver-selling and cross-selling can increase the value of each transaction, leading to increased revenue.Improved customer loyaltyWhen you offer relevant recommendations for up-selling and cross-selling, customers are more likely to trust your store and keep coming back.Higher average order valueBy offering complementary products, you can increase the average order value of each transaction.No additional marketing budgetInstead of trying to attract new customers, you can maximise the value of every customer you already have.Tips for effective up-selling and cross-sellingTo ensure your up-sell and cross-sell techniques are effective, here are some tips to consider:Understand your customersAnalyse your customers' purchase history and their behaviour on your website to identify opportunities for up-selling and cross-selling.Offer relevant productsOffer products that complement or can enhance the original purchase. For example, if the customer buys a winter jacket, you can sell gloves and hats that match the style of the jacket.Customize recommendationsUse data to customise upsell and cross-sell recommendations based on the customer's purchase history and preferences.Add valueMake sure the customer sees the added value in the products you recommend. For example, if you upsell a more expensive product, highlight its features and benefits over the cheaper product.Use social proofDisplay customer reviews and testimonials for the products you recommend to increase the credibility of your recommendations.TimingThe timing of upsell and cross-sell recommendations can make a big difference. Try to offer products when the customer is most engaged in your store, such as after adding an item to the cart or during the checkout process.Up-selling and cross-selling are valuable techniques that can help you increase sales and build customer loyalty. By offering relevant products that enhance the customer's initial purchase, you can add value to the customer's shopping experience while increasing your revenue. Remember to personalize recommendations, offer value and use social proof to make your recommendations more compelling. By mastering these techniques, you can take your e-commerce to new heights!

Solhem Inredning combines physical store and webshop

18 Dec 2025

In 2011, Erika and her brother Anders took over the business as their father started in 1982. They still have the same premises, warehouse and shop space as they had when they started, but over the years they have developed and changed the range of products in the business. When the company started up, they sold textiles and corporate gifts for companies and at that time the premises were mainly an office area with a small exhibition area but over the years it has evolved into a retail space with an adjoining warehouse. Erika and Anders have a great interest in interior design and when they took the business, they changed the range to be more and design. With this change they also started selling to private individuals instead of customers and then they also started up an online shop in addition to make it more accessible to their customers. Now the small family-run business has gone from a small showroom to a physical shop and webshop with a wide range of designer furniture and interior design. Wad säljer ni i er butik? We sell designer furniture and interior design in Danish design with simple and beautiful styling. The furniture is in a consistently Nordic and Scandinavian style and the vision is to cover all rooms in the home and to offer high quality design.Why did you start a webshop in addition to your physical store?Our physical store is a bit off and hidden and to get more visibility we started up a webshop in addition to the physical store. In the beginning we worked with the webshop as an addition to the physical one and the focus was on the store but in the last few years we have changed our focus and nowadays we focus mostly on the webshop. We have adapted our business to the way our customers shop. In the past, people wanted to come to the store to see and feel the products, but now they prefer to check and read about the products on the website and then order the goods to test the furniture on site. If the goods don't fit, you send them back or return them to our store.Why did you choose Abicart as your e-commerce platform?When we were going to start up the webshop in 2011, I read that Abicart was a simple and cheap option and since you could try it for free, I did and then I was hooked on the platform. For our needs it is more than enough and I appreciate that it is so easy to use. I am really happy with the platform and it suits our business very well. We definitely recommend Abicart, it's a simple and nice platform to work in.Visit Solhem's lovely webshop!

Toys Forever - "The best thing is that you can spend your time as you wish"

8 Dec 2025

Toysforever is a family business run by Karolina and Jens. Karolina has extensive work experience in retail and especially e-commerce. After a few years in the industry, a dream grew to run her own online store where she wanted to sell organic and sustainable products for children. In 2017, she took the plunge and bought a small shop of 100 m2 in her hometown Kalmar, which had an associated webshop. From the start, the focus has been on developing the e-commerce, but the physical store was a bit of a bonus for her, which has proven to be a winning concept. As she developed her webshop, the shop space became too small and when the opportunity to buy the shop space across the street came up, she didn't hesitate for a second to buy it in order to get a wider range of products and more space for the e-commerce to grow. The first store focuses on organic and sustainable products for babies and the new 450m2 store is an existing chain with a wider range of products for older ages, which also includes larger products such as pools, airtracks and trampolines. For those products they have also opened up a showroom so customers can come and check them out. Over the years, Karolina and her husband Jens have developed the small shop of 100 m2 and the almost non-existent online store into a successful online store with over 12,000 items and 3 shops/showrooms totalling over 1000 m2. Read their inspiring story:Karolina realised her dream of selling organic products for childrenWhat do you sell in your shops? In our small shop Toysforever we sell carefully selected quality toys and organic products for children. You will find educational toys for children from 0 to 5 years old. Many of our products are made of wood or fabric and have bright colours and fun shapes that appeal to children. Our goal is to focus on bringing in a large organic range. In addition, we are constantly trying to find new product categories mainly for the little baby such as baby bottles and blankets. We are also working on bringing in more decorative products for the baby's room and some comfortable products for everyone. We have three children ourselves, so we care about children and work to ensure that they are surrounded by the highest quality, sustainable items and that they are non-toxic. The store also cares that the products have been produced and shipped under fair conditions. In our second store Lekextra we have a wide range of toys from well-known brands. We have a carefully selected range of safe, fun and educational toys as well as outdoor toys such as pools, trampolines and airtracks. Lekextra always chooses suppliers who stand for quality and who help to protect our environment and surroundings. It is a chain that offers its customers a carefully selected range of toys.You run one online store and two physical stores, how come you have chosen to work with both? Our focus from the start has been to develop the webshop, but when we bought the business, we got a physical store as a bonus. The size of business we run is good to have combined webshop and physical store given that we can be in the same premises. If you grow and become too big it is no longer possible, then you have to separate the business which is a more expensive cost. Although the focus has always been on our webshop first and foremost, we find it very enjoyable to sell and have customer contact in the physical store. But the main reason we have expanded the shop space is because e-commerce has grown in recent years and we needed a larger warehouse space and we wanted to develop the business with a wider range of products. Our biggest turnover is clearly from our webshop because that's where we reach the masses and it's online that most people shop today. Why did you choose Abicart as your e-commerce platform? The previous owners had Abicart and we found it to be a fully functional platform. It's easy to work with and interfaces well with other systems. There are many good integrations included and in this platform even I can feel a bit technical and add integrations. It's nice to be able to do a lot myself without having to spend a lot of time understanding how things work. Overall we are happy with Abicart and would recommend the platform to others. Mainly because it is user friendly and easy to manage and you offer customers many integration options at a good price. To broaden our market, we are also participating in some marketplaces. Through them we sell to Sweden, Denmark, Finland and soon we will also open up to Norway. What is the best thing about running your own business and online store? The best thing about running your own business is that you can spend your time as you wish. If I want to go and pick up the kids early one day, I can do it with a little planning and forethought. Then there's the fact that you get to work on what you're passionate about and bring in the products you like. We also let the children help us choose products that they think will sell well, which has proved to be a success, the things they like to play with have really sold well. Getting that professional help has been very good and fun both for us and for the children.Do you have any tips for others who want to start an online store? If you are going to start an e-commerce business, you should bear in mind that you have to invest a lot of time and money to succeed. When you have both e-commerce and a physical shop, it is cost-effective to have them in the same premises as long as you stay at a reasonable level; if you grow and become too big, it becomes difficult and then the businesses have to be separated. Then it's important to see if you benefit from expanding or if it's better to stay at the level you're at. Because if you separate the activities, you also increase the costs, you have to pay more in premises and staff costs and then the activities can become less profitable. Which of our subscriptions do you use and why?We've tried different themes over the years to try out some different designs and layouts but now we have Hajde. We think that theme looks nice, it suits our products and our customers can easily find what they are looking for given that we have many categories and divisions. We have the PRO subscription on Abicart. We acquired it quite recently to be able to use more integrations. The PRO subscription was also required for us to be able to use marketplaces. Visit adorable Toys Forever!

Abicart's platform provides integrated features to help streamline these complex processes, making global sales easier for your business.Key functionalities supporting international trade include: Customs Documentation and Reporting HS Number (Harmonized System): You can activate and input the international standardized HS number for each product. This six- to ten-digit code is crucial for classifying goods traded worldwide, helping to determine correct tariffs and facilitating smooth customs clearance in importing and exporting countries. Customs Declarations: The integration with partners like nShift (formerly Unifaun) supports the export of shipments with customs declarations, such as CN22 and CN23 forms, which is essential for sending parcels outside the European Union (EU). Country of Origin: Maintain accurate records of where your products were manufactured by utilizing the specific attribute for country of origin. Intrastat Reports: While not explicitly mentioned in the general manual, a robust ERP integration is typically essential for generating complex reports like Intrastat, which track the movement of goods between EU member states. Abicart offers integrations with leading ERP systems like Fortnox, Visma, and Specter to manage such financial and reporting needs. TARIC Codes: Although not a direct feature, the necessity of TARIC codes (which define specific tariff and non-tariff measures for trade within the EU) is addressed through the ability to enter and manage product attributes like the HS number, ensuring you have the data structure to comply with specialized customs requirements when needed. Efficiency in ERP Integration By connecting your Abicart shop with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, you can centralize your business operations. This ensures that when an order is exported, all the necessary product, customer, and order details—including customs-related information like the HS number—are transferred to your ERP for correct accounting and legal reporting. Abicart allows you to focus on selling, while providing the technical foundation needed to comply with international regulations and customs procedures seamlessly through efficient system integrations.

Using nShift and Shipmondo as transport administration systems

28 Nov 2025

Streamline your logistics and minimize manual errors by integrating your Abicart shop with external Transport Management Systems (TMS) like nShift Delivery (formerly Unifaun Online) or Shipmondo.These powerful integrations simplify the entire shipping process, allowing you to manage carriers, print labels, generate shipping documents, and handle customs declarations directly from a centralized platform. Seamless Integration for Efficiency The core benefit of integrating with a TMS is the automatic transfer of critical order information. Instead of manually re-entering data, the relevant shipping details are automatically transferred from your Abicart order to the TMS, which handles the booking process with your chosen carriers. Minimize Errors: Automated data transfer drastically reduces the risk of human error associated with manual data entry. Carrier Management: Both nShift and Shipmondo aggregate multiple carriers, allowing you to manage all your transport options in one unified system. Automated Documents: The systems automatically generate labels, shipping documents, and necessary customs documents, such as the HS number and Country of Origin for exports. Tracking Information: Tracking numbers generated by the TMS are automatically sent back to Abicart and can be forwarded to your customers via delivery confirmation emails, enhancing customer experience. Flexible Export and Booking Options You maintain control over when and how order data is sent to the TMS: Order Export: You can choose to automatically export the full order upon registration or when it is marked as paid. Direct Booking: For efficiency, you can set the system to book the shipment immediately upon export. Partial Deliveries: The functionality supports creating and exporting separate shipments for partial deliveries, giving you the flexibility to ship products as they become available in stock. By leveraging the integration with a sophisticated TMS, your Abicart webshop can transform logistics from a challenge into a highly efficient and automated part of your business operation.

Abicart provides direct, ready-made connections to leading Point of Sale (POS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, allowing you to synchronize your entire business operation.This powerful connectivity eliminates the burden of manual double-entry and ensures your data is always consistent across all sales channels. Achieve True Omnichannel Synchronization Integrating your webshop with a business system means your e-commerce platform and physical store systems communicate with each other automatically. This collaboration delivers significant advantages: Real-Time Stock Control: Instantly synchronize inventory levels between your online and physical stores. A product sold in your brick-and-mortar shop is immediately reflected as a stock deduction online, preventing frustrating over-sells and ensuring accurate availability for your customers. Centralized Product and Pricing: Manage product information, including articles and price changes, in one primary system—either your Abicart admin or your ERP/POS system. Updates are automatically pushed across all channels, ensuring consistent naming, specifications, and prices for your products whether a customer shops online or in-store. Streamlined Order and Customer Management: When an order is placed online, it is automatically transferred to your business system. This immediate transfer reduces the risk of administrative errors, simplifies invoicing and accounting, and provides a centralized place for monitoring all sales and revenue. Customer records can also be synchronized, ensuring loyalty programs and purchase histories are consistent. Enhanced Customer Experience: By integrating systems, you create a more transparent and reliable shopping experience. Customers benefit from accurate stock availability and faster, more efficient order processing. Integrated Partners Abicart offers pre-built, seamless integrations with several major business systems, including: POS/Cash Register Systems: Partners like Northmill Flo offer ready integration specifically designed to connect your Abicart webshop with your physical store's cash register, synchronizing products, stock balance, prices, customers, and orders in both directions. ERP/Accounting Systems: Integrations with systems like Specter, Fortnox, Visma Administration, Visma eEkonomi, and BL Administration automate key back-office workflows such as handling orders, managing inventory, and accounting. By leveraging one of these integrations, you minimize manual data handling, save time, and dramatically reduce the risk of costly mistakes, freeing you to focus on growing your business.

Product templates: reusing settings for similar items

28 Nov 2025

Product templates are a powerful feature in Abicart, designed to significantly streamline the creation and management of similar products in your shop. Instead of manually configuring the same options and properties for every single item, you can define a standard set of configurations once and apply it across numerous products.This feature is included in the Plus and Pro subscriptions.Key Possibilities with Product TemplatesProduct templates allow you to predefine the structure for three main types of settings:Customer Choice (Sizes/Colors): You can easily create various choices such as sizes, colors, materials, or other options that customers must select before adding the product to the shopping cart. This is ideal for product lines where variants like sizes and colors are consistent.Properties (Attributes): Templates can be used to set up custom attributes (e.g., genre, director, actor for movies) that present information in a neat table format on the product page. Once the template is linked to a product, you simply select the specific values for that item.Related Products: You can manually create and link a relationship list, such as for "Accessories," directly on the template. Applying this template instantly applies the list to multiple products, allowing you to easily promote complementary items.By leveraging product templates, you save time, reduce the risk of manual input errors, and ensure a consistent customer experience across your product range.

Connect Google Ads conversions to your store

27 Nov 2025

Measure purchases from Google Ads with the right conversion action, purchase value, and consent. This guide is for administrators with access to the store's active Diversity theme and the correct Google Ads account. Choose either the theme's built-in Google Ads connection or a well-thought-out Tag Manager installation for the same purchase. Do not follow both flows in parallel without checking what is being counted. 1. Choose what to count as a purchase A conversion is an action you have chosen to measure, such as a completed order. Conversion tracking is needed to link purchases to ads, not to distinguish all organic traffic from paid traffic in general. Check existing purchase actions before creating a new one. If the same purchase is sent both directly to Google Ads and via an imported Analytics conversion or Tag Manager, you must decide which one to use as the primary bidding goal. A common order ID does not automatically merge different conversion actions. 2. Get the correct send_to value from Google Ads Open the conversion settings in the correct Google Ads account.Select or create a website conversion for purchases. Specify that different values should be used for different conversions.Open the tag setup and the purchase action's event snippet.Get the entire value after send_to: it contains an ID with the prefix AW- and a label after the slash, for example AW-123456789/AbCdEfGh. Google changes the location of menus. The images show an older interface and help you recognize the choices for website, purchase, and event snippet; follow the features above in your current account. 3. Add the value to the active theme Go to Appearance → Themes and open the active Diversity theme for editing.Open Add-ons → Google.Find Google AdWords Conversions.Paste only the full value AW-ID/label, without quotation marks or HTML code.Save and check the published store. Do not paste the entire event script in this field or an extra copy in the header. If the field is missing, check the active theme and theme version. TPL and custom implementations have a different installation flow. 4. Understand what value is sent The theme's built-in Google Ads connection sends the order's total amount including VAT, shipping, and any payment fees, the order's currency, and the order ID as transaction_id. The connection runs in the visitor's browser. It is not a server-based guarantee that every order will be registered in Google Ads. For purchases through the theme’s Tag Manager data layer, ecommerce.value is the merchandise subtotal excluding VAT; shipping and tax are separate. A custom tag can therefore send a different value from the built-in Ads connection. Choose the intended value basis and compare reports using the same definition. Do not change the store’s VAT settings to correct a reporting value. 5. Check consent and measurement Check the store's consent solution and Google Consent Mode settings before using advertising data.Use Google Tag Assistant to check the correct account, conversion label, and consent signals.Place a controlled test order according to your procedures if you need to verify the purchase event. Check that the correct action receives an event with the expected amount, currency, and order ID.Check Google Ads diagnostics after its normal reporting delay. A test of the tag is not a promise that the purchase will be attributed to an ad. Avoid duplicate scripts, duplicate primary purchase actions, and reloading the confirmation page as the only testing method. The absence of a registered conversion may be due to consent, browser protection, the wrong label, a lack of ad connection, or reporting delay. A payment refund does not automatically mean that a previously sent conversion is corrected in Google Ads. Quickstart Check existing purchase actions and choose a measurement path.Get the full AW-ID/label for the correct purchase action.Fill in Google AdWords Conversions in the active Diversity theme.Check consent, event, and value basis. Subscription and costs The Google settings in Diversity are not a separate Plus or Pro add-on. The fields depend on the active theme and version. Ad costs and Google account settings are separate from the Abicart subscription.

Model Selector: connect spare parts to make, year, and model

27 Nov 2025

The Model Selector helps customers find parts that fit a specific make, year, and model. The feature requires Abicart Pro, activation, and a supported theme. You build a model tree, connect the products to the correct models, and then choose where the Model Selector should be displayed. The customer gets results based on your connections, not an automatically calculated compatibility. Availability and prerequisitesThe Model Selector is also called Parts Finder or Model Selector. It is available for Abicart Pro and needs to be activated by customer service along with the correct filter support. Support is available in several theme families, including Fabrikk, Bountiful, Trailblazer, Emporium, Hajde, Brew, Azalea, and Nordic. Field names and placement may differ between theme versions. Therefore, check your active version with support before changing themes or rebuilding your product range. The Model Selector uses product groups to filter for compatible parts. It does not create product variants, new item numbers, or knowledge about which vehicles a spare part fits. You are responsible for ensuring the product connections are correct. For common categories, see product groups. 1. Create the model treeGo to Assortment (Catalogue) > Product groups and create a main group, for example Model Selector. The name may be included in the store's URL.Create three sublevels in the same order throughout the tree. In the example below, make, year, and model are used.Go to Assortment (Catalogue) > Products and connect each product to the correct model groups. This can be done manually or through product import. Example of a consistent model tree: Model SelectorMake A2025Model XModel Y2026Model XMake B2025Model Z2026Model Z A spare part that fits both Make A / 2025 / Model X and Make A / 2026 / Model X is placed in both of these model groups. You do not need to create two copies of the product. Do not use the same group level for make in one branch and model in another; otherwise, the selection fields will correspond to different things. 2. Connect the tree to the themeOpen Appearance > Themes > Edit for the theme you want to configure.Open the Model Selector settings. For placement in the header, they are located under Header. Activate Model Selector where it is supported.Select the model tree's main group in Product category. Global Product category is a separate, optional selection for products that should be displayed for all models. Only add products that truly fit all models here; do not use this field for the model tree's main group.Enter the display texts for the levels at First Product Category, Second Product Category and Third Product Category, for example Make, Year, and Model. The levels are retrieved from the tree's order, not from three independent group sources.Choose where the component should appear and enter the display texts using the settings table in this section. Save.For display on product group pages: open Product group page in the theme editor and select the Model Selector's main product group in the relevant settings. Save and check the result in the store. SettingWhat it controls Global Product categorySeparate, optional group for universal products to be displayed for all models. Do not select the model tree's main group here. Product Category and the First/Second/Third level selectionsProduct category specifies the model tree's main group. First/Second/Third specify the levels' display texts. Follow your active component's fields and do not confuse them with the display location. Model Selector is Visible for the following product groupsWhich product group pages should display the component. This is not the same as which products are included in its data source. Heading / title for the model selectorText that helps the customer understand what to choose. Title of the ListHeading for saved selections, for example My models. Modal default message / Model Default Message if Nothing Has Been Selected YetText displayed when no model has been added or selected. IconCustom icon for the Model Selector. If you do not select an icon, the theme's default icon is used, for example, a motorcycle. 3. Check that the customer gets the correct resultOpen the store and select a complete combination that should yield a result, for example Make A → 2025 → Model X.Check that the correct spare parts and any subcategories/filters are displayed. A product should not be shown as compatible just because it is in a regular product category.Select another model that the product does not fit. Check that the product is then not shown as a result.Save a model selection, leave the page, and return in the same browser. Also, check that it is possible to change or remove the selection. Model selections are saved locally in the browser. They do not automatically transfer to another device or browser. Private mode, cleared website data, or limited storage can affect saved selections. Therefore, do not assume that the list will remain forever or can contain an unlimited number of models. Troubleshoot the Model SelectorSymptomCheck The setting is missingCheck for Pro, activation, product group filters, the correct theme and version. Ask support to confirm compatibility; a missing field does not mean the product range must be rebuilt. No or incorrect spare parts are displayedCheck the model tree's main group in Product category, the order of the levels, and the product's membership in the selected model group. Also, check that Global Product category only contains universal products. Try both a known matching and a known non-matching example. The selector appears on the wrong pagesCheck visibility groups and placement separately from the model tree and the selection of universal products. A group is not found in the settingCheck the correct main group and the full group path. Contact support if the correct group is still missing from the list before creating a duplicate. Saved models are missingCheck if the same browser and device are being used and if website data has been cleared. Saved model selections are not account-synced between devices. When contacting support: specify the store, theme/version, main group, a complete model combination, and a product that should or should not be displayed. Describe both your selection and the result. If you use a group for universal products, they should be displayed for both models. Also, check the product's own information about which models it fits. Quick startAsk support to confirm that the Model Selector and product group filters are activated and supported in your theme version.Create a consistent tree: main group → make → year → model. Place each spare part in the model groups where it fits.Select the model tree's main group in Product category and name the three levels. Only use Global Product category for products that fit all models.Test a known match and a known exception: a product that only fits model B should not be displayed for model A. Also, check universal products, display location, and saved model selections. Subscription and accessThe Model Selector requires Abicart Pro, activation, and a compatible active theme and component version. Confirm compatibility before changing themes or rebuilding your product range. Product connections determine the results the customer gets; they are not an automatic check of physical compatibility.

Subscription renewal, payment, and cancellation

27 Nov 2025

Check the store's subscription, manage payments, and submit a cancellation without confusing payment, access, and the contract's binding period. This guide is for those who manage a store's Abicart subscription in Go, Plus, or Pro. It does not apply to your customers' orders or subscriptions. Open the correct store and have access to My subscription. If you lack access, you can email hello@abicart.se. Trial period or special agreement: check the terms and conditions that apply to your specific store. The rules for a standard paid subscription should not be automatically applied to a free trial period or an individual agreement. Check your subscription first Log in to the correct store. Open the profile menu with your name and select My subscription. In a multi-store setup, you need to check which main store and which sub-stores the subscription applies to. Read which plan you have, what dates and costs are displayed, and how the payment is handled. Distinguish the contract's binding period from the payment date and a technical date for the store's access. If the meaning is unclear, ask customer service to check the agreement before you calculate the last day for cancellation. It's a good idea to save the information before you change anything. Choose the correct action in the sections below. If you can see the information but cannot change it, the store owner needs to handle the change or contact support about permissions. Older image example: the screenshot has English menu texts and older prices, dates, and offers. Use it to recognize the parts of the overview, not as a current price or contract notification.Rely on your subscription details and your contract confirmations. The fact that the webstore is hidden, closed to visitors, or not in use does not in itself indicate that the subscription has been canceled. A failed payment is also not a cancellation confirmation. How renewal, payment, and cancellation differ What you see or doWhat it meansCheck this Automatic renewal is activeThe subscription is set for a new period. Payment or invoicing is handled according to the selected payment method and agreement.The next period, date, cost, and registered email address. Manual payment or renewal is displayedA choice of how to make the payment is not a notification that the agreement is ending. When paying before an automatic charge, you are paying in advance; the cancellation period does not change.Which period the payment applies to, what the setting actually changes, and if a payment is already registered. An invoice has been createdInvoicing and payment are separate events. For invoice payments, the binding period can start before the invoice is paid.Which period the invoice applies to, the due date, and if it has already been paid. You have sent a written cancellationA valid written cancellation is counted from when it reaches us, not from our later confirmation. The request and its handling need to be linked to the correct store and agreement.Save the message and the date of receipt. We will confirm the verified end date and any remaining payment after processing. The subscription agreement and the payment are two different things. When you accept the agreement, you commit to paying. The payment fulfills that commitment. If the agreement is renewed, the obligation to pay does not cease because a payment attempt fails. A missed payment, a removed card, or a stopped automatic charge does not in itself cancel the subscription. If an invoice or renewal seems incorrect, you should contact customer service as soon as you discover the error. Describe the objection and save the message and the date. The time limits for objections are in the general terms and conditions, section 4.8. Check which terms and any individual agreements apply to your case. Renew the subscription and choose a payment method Check that the contact details under My profile and company details under Settings > Store information are up to date. In particular, check the billing address, email address, and any VAT registration number. Open My subscription and select the period, sub-stores, and add-ons you actually want to order. The option to renew in advance is displayed when less than 30 days remain of the current period. Select Update my subscription to go to the summary. Read the start and end dates, plan, add-ons, payment method, VAT, and total amount before you complete the process. Selecting an annual period is not just a change of payment details. Choose an offered payment method. In the subscription checkout, a card can be used for quarterly and annual periods, while an invoice is offered for the annual period. An invoice for an unpaid subscription payment is a separate matter. If the invoice option is missing, contact customer service before ordering another combination. Confirm only when the summary is correct. Then check the subscription's period and status, as well as the document under Invoices and receipts. If the outcome is unclear, do not click again before the first attempt has been checked. According to Abicart's general terms and conditions, section 4.1, the selected binding period is activated upon payment. For invoice payments, the binding period is activated immediately and an invoice is issued, normally with 30-day payment terms unless otherwise agreed. Therefore, check the ordered period's start and end dates in the order basis and the agreement, even when the invoice has not yet been paid. If you pay for a future renewal in advance, you should check which period the payment covers. Do not calculate a new end date or a new cancellation deadline based solely on the payment date. Ask customer service to check the contract dates if they are unclear. Automatic renewal and changing payment details For automatic card payments, consent for future card charges is saved. This is not the same as the Autogiro direct debit service. For automatic invoicing, the invoice is sent to the registered email address. Check the address and which payment method is displayed for your subscription. Automatic payment notifications provide information about the payment. A notification does not change the agreement's cancellation deadline and is not a cancellation confirmation. Use the agreed binding period when checking the last day for cancellation; do not use a reminder, payment, or access date as a substitute. You can use Update my subscription to pay before the automatic charge when the option is available. Check which period and amount the payment applies to. Such a payment does not cancel the subscription and does not change the cancellation period. If you want to change your card or payment method, check the correct steps for your store with customer service. If you make a payment in advance in the subscription checkout, use the card you want to pay with. A card change should not be confused with a separate selection of a new subscription period. The general terms and conditions, section 3.1, state that a change of payment method takes effect after the current binding period. Request cancellation or downgrade For cancellation, you can choose the form under My subscription > Change my subscription or email hello@abicart.se. Specify which store and which subscription the cancellation applies to. If you want to downgrade instead, clearly state which plan change you are requesting. Send the request and save the message and the date. If you have already emailed the cancellation, you do not also need to fill out the form or send an extra confirmation. If the form is missing or you cannot log in, use email. We will check the agreement and get back to you with a confirmation of the end date and any remaining payment. A valid written cancellation is counted from when it reaches us; our later confirmation does not determine the date of receipt. Contact customer service if the notification is missing or unclear. The cancellation period is stated in our general terms and conditions, section 3.2. Check the terms and the end date of the binding period. Feel free to send your request even if you think it is late. We will check which end date applies and if an additional period needs to be paid. A phone call is not sufficient as a written cancellation. A downgrade is a change to a cheaper plan and is not a cancellation. According to the current general terms and conditions, section 4.5, the lower-tier plan begins after the current binding period. The cancellation deadline does not apply to a downgrade request. Contact customer service before the end of the period and specify the desired plan. We will check the date, price, and which features are affected. If you have already contacted us, refer to the original request. Questions about reasons or feedback are optional. If you have already contacted us: include your previous cancellation or the notification you received, preferably with the date and case reference. If you have agreed on a specific end date or other handling, it needs to be checked in your case. A new general instruction does not replace a previous individual agreement, and a missing form submission alone does not determine what has been agreed. If you cannot access the Admin, you can email hello@abicart.se or contact customer service for help. Provide the store's address and what you want to have confirmed. Cancellation, crediting, and refunds are separate issues. A cancellation does not automatically mean a refund for the current period; contact us for an assessment if you believe an invoice or charge was incorrect. The cancellation does not in itself mean that your account or all data will be deleted. Ask us to check access and export options if you need to save material. Your own domain and agreements with external suppliers need to be handled separately. Sub-stores, add-ons, and changing plans In a multi-store system, a selection of sub-stores is displayed. Only check the stores that should be included and verify how the selection affects the summary. Uncheck an incorrect selection before you confirm. Available add-ons depend on your subscription and activated services. Abicart Pro includes one selected business system integration; additional services and the suppliers' own agreements may apply. Services like Creditsafe and Business Check are separate add-ons and should not be confused with an ERP integration. Check the actual offer and price for your specific store. In Go and Plus, an offer to upgrade to Pro may be displayed. In Pro, offers from Abicart Experts may be displayed. Read the scope, price, and any discount terms in the current offer before you order. See packages and prices in Swedish or English and the guide to changing your subscription. Find an invoice or receipt Open Invoices and receipts from the subscription page. There you can read, download, or print the payment document. Check the document type, amount, and the period it covers. The existence of an invoice is not a receipt that it has been paid. If the company has a Swedish VAT registration number, it normally consists of SE, the ten digits of the organization number without a hyphen, and 01. Enter the company's correct information; an example number should not be used as customer data. Information for foreign companies may have a different format. If something is wrong ProblemWhat to do The invoice or desired period is missingCheck the selected period and what is offered in the summary. Do not order a different period as a temporary solution; ask customer service for the correct plan. The payment failed or the page returned an errorFirst, check if the period, invoice, or receipt has been updated anyway. Correct any incorrect profile/store information. Contact customer service if the outcome is still unclear before you try again. The subscription appears to be extended, but the invoice is unpaidCheck the document's period and due date. Invoicing can activate the period before payment. Ask customer service to check an unexpected outcome. You have received a demand for payment despite a previous cancellation or other notificationSend previous correspondence, dates, the agreed period, and the invoice reference to customer service and ask for an individual review. Do not make a new subscription choice to try to correct the demand. Provide the store's address/ID, what you were trying to do, the approximate time, the error message, and relevant invoice or receipt references. Do not send card numbers, security codes, passwords, or bank login details. Quick start Open your name in the Admin and select My subscription. Check the correct store, plan, commitment period, and payment details. Do you want to pay? Check the period, sub-stores, add-ons, payment method, VAT, and total amount before you confirm. Do not make a new payment if the outcome of the first attempt is unclear. Do you want to cancel? Use the form under My subscription > Change my subscription or email hello@abicart.se. See the notice period in the general terms and conditions, section 3.2. You do not need to use both methods. Save your message and the date. We will check the end date and any remaining payment. Include any previous cancellation or individual notifications if something needs to be investigated. Subscriptions and exceptions: subscription management applies to Go, Plus, and Pro. Payment methods, add-ons, and sub-stores depend on your plan. For a trial period or a special agreement, the store's own terms and conditions apply. Not paying, removing a card, or hiding the store does not in itself cancel a paid subscription.

KSA and nShift Delivery: from shipping option to booked shipment

27 Nov 2025

Kustom Shipping Assistant (KSA) can display nShift Delivery's shipping options at checkout, but the customer's choice is not a complete shipping booking in itself. You need both the KSA connection and Abicart's nShift integration to finalize the correct shipment. Before setting up, ask support to confirm which subscriptions, add-ons, and carrier agreements are required for your specific store. Activate and connect KSA and nShift Delivery, which may be called Unifaun Online in the Admin.Let the integration use KSA's TMS reference to finalize the correct prepared shipment.Choose stored or direct booking and decide separately when the order should be marked as shipped.Follow an agreed-upon test order from shipping option to the same reference in nShift. Check the booking, label, and any customer notification separately. Which connection does this guide apply to?This guide applies to KSA together with nShift Delivery. It does not describe nShift Transsmart, Webshipper, or a workflow where an ERP system handles the shipping booking. First, confirm which path your order actually uses. You need a working KSA connection, nShift Delivery with the intended transport services, and Abicart's corresponding integration. Read the overview for KSA and connect nShift Delivery if the basic connections are not yet ready. The inclusion of a general transport integration in your package does not automatically confirm that all parts of this setup are included. Understand the workflownShift's delivery options and any pickup points are displayed via KSA at checkout.The customer selects shipping and completes the purchase. The choice is linked to a prepared shipment and its reference.Abicart's nShift integration uses the reference to finalize the correct shipment according to your booking settings.You check the booking and shipping documents in nShift. Abicart's shipped status and customer messages are handled according to their own settings. See image details: open a screenshot in a separate tab or window using your browser's image menu if the text is too small. This is an example of shipping options at checkout. A message that an address or pickup point is missing must be resolved before a complete selection can be made. The flowchart shows why both a shipping selection and a subsequent finalization of the shipment are needed. There is no fixed percentage to show how complete each order is. 1. Connect and use the correct referenceCheck KSA and the transport services to be offered in nShift. Connect the Abicart shipping method that will handle KSA to the correct connection; the basic example uses such a method.Go to Settings > External Connections > Unifaun Online.Check the basic settings according to the nShift guide. Activate use_tms_ref_as_prepared_id, which may be displayed with this technical field name. This allows the export to use the TMS reference from KSA's prepared shipment.Save. A missing reference or one that points to the wrong shipment should be investigated before exporting the order again. Check the reference before exporting. Verify that the current order has the correct KSA/TMS reference. An activated setting does not automatically stop an export that lacks a reference; in that case, a regular shipment might be created using the integration's transport service and recipient details instead of the saved KSA selection. Investigate the reference and check existing shipments before exporting or retrying. In particular, check how the reference should be used if the order has multiple shipments. 2. Select booking and shipped statusOptionWhat it meansWhat to do afterward Booking: StoredThe shipment is saved for further handling in nShift.Check details and any return handling before you finalize the booking and print shipping documents. Booking: DirectThe export requests a direct booking according to the connection's setup.Check the booking result and documents. Do not expect to be able to change the service or return option after booking; the allowed handling depends on the service. Shipped: NeverThe order is not automatically marked as shipped upon export.Mark the order as shipped when dispatch should actually be confirmed. This gives you control when shipments are stored first. Shipped: After exportA successful export can also mark the order as shipped.Check that this matches your workflow. A delivery email may be sent if it is activated under Document and email content. A label that is available for printing does not in itself indicate that the package has been handed over to the carrier. Similarly, an order marked as shipped does not in itself indicate that the nShift booking is correct. Check both results. 3. Choose when to export the correct orderOpen the shipping method used for KSA on the integration page, in the image example Shipping.Go to Event Settings > Export order.Select trigger: Reserved to export when the order is registered, Paid when it is marked as paid, or Manual for your own export: go to Orders > Orders and open the correct order. Find nShift/Unifaun Online among the order's external services and use the connection's export action. First, check the existing shipment and TMS reference to avoid creating a duplicate.Select an intended Transport service; do not leave the field empty. Do not assume that an arbitrary choice is always harmless just because KSA is used. Check with the person responsible for the connection how the selection and the KSA reference interact in your setup.Save and follow a limited test order before using automatic export widely. The images illustrate automatic export with a stored shipment. In this setup, the booking needs to be finalized in nShift before printing/sending according to your workflow. Check the transport service, address, pickup point, and any return before finalizing. Return label, print favorite, and notificationIf you want to prepare a return label, check the service's support and select the correct return/round-trip handling before the shipment is booked. Ask nShift for help with service-specific requirements. Do not assume that an already booked shipment can be edited or supplemented in the same way as a stored one. A print favorite in nShift can group selections for things like a return label and SMS notification where the service supports it. In the English interface shown in the images, you go to Maintenance > My Account > Settings and select change next to other settings. Enter the favorite's exact name in order favorite and save with finish. Menu texts may differ between versions. Here, the favorite name order is an example. Use the name of the favorite you have actually created. Check results and troubleshootSymptomCheck and next step Shipping options are missing at checkoutCheck the KSA connection, delivery address/pickup point, and which nShift services are available to the customer. Do not go directly to label settings. Prepared shipment exists but no booking/labelCheck that the order has met the export condition, that the correct TMS reference is included, and if the shipment is stored pending finalization. Wrong shipment or risk of a duplicateCompare the Abicart order number, TMS reference, and existing shipment before a new export. Do not create an extra shipment as the first solution. Customer received the delivery email too earlyCheck 'Shipped: After export' and the document/email settings separately from the booking mode. Shipping document or return is missing after bookingCheck the service, booking status, and documents in nShift. Contact nShift for the service's return and printing conditions. When contacting support: specify the store, actual integration path, order number, TMS reference, time, selected booking mode, and error message. State whether a shipment or label has already been created. Do not send integration passwords.

Manual management of tracking numbers (Logged in customer >> My pages >> Order history)

27 Nov 2025

In this article you can read more about how the "Track shipment" feature for logged-in customers works.Logged-in customers can track their packages, provided the order has a carrier and tracking number on the order page in admin. You can enter this manually or have it entered automatically if you have automatic shipping booking. In this article we go through how to add the tracking number if you book the transportation for your packages manually.When an order is exported to e.g. Postnord or nShift for automatic freight booking, the tracking number is sent back into Abicart. When the order is then marked as sent, the tracking number will be sent to the customer via the delivery confirmation (if you have delivery confirmation enabled - Settings >> Document and email content)."Track shipment" allows you to share the tracking number with your customers even if you book transportation manually with an external system (Platform we don't have integration with).This is how it works:A customer who wants to shop creates an account in the store / logs in to an existing account. Customer places an order. You handle the order:In admin1) Edit delivery method or 2) Verify that the order has the correct delivery method.3) Create shipmentYou then manually enter the order into your carrier's system. Once the shipment is booked, copy its tracking number and bring it back to Abicart.(If you have the nShift integration with the "stored" setting, the tracking number does not go back to Abicart, so you can retrieve and enter it in the same way as if you book via an external system).4) Click on the pencil to edit the shipment:5) Enter the transportation provider6) Enter the tracking number7) SaveNow you can mark the order as sent. The customer will receive a delivery confirmation (see tips below).Tip.Settings >> Document and email content Here you can activate "Send delivery confirmation [...] and write a guiding text prompting customer to log in with their customer login >> go to order history to find their tracking number.Customer logs in:8) Now that the tracking number is entered, customer can log in to "My Pages" again:Log in >> Click on the username to go to "My pages" >> Go to order history >> Scroll down to Delivery method and click on"Track shipment". The customer is then linked to the carrier you specified on the order and the carrier automatically searches for the specified tracking number.

Choose and add payment methods

27 Nov 2025

Give customers a working way to pay and choose a solution that suits your customers, markets, and routines. This guide applies to you if you administer payments in Abicart Go, Plus, or Pro. An external payment service normally requires a separate agreement and the correct account details from the provider. The methods available for your store are displayed under Settings → Payment methods. 1. Choose between a payment service and manual payment A payment service, such as Kustom Checkout, Swedbank Pay, Stripe, or Swish, handles the payment through its service. Available payment methods, countries, currencies, business types, fees, and payouts depend on your agreement with the provider. The existence of a connection in Abicart does not mean that all these options are included in your agreement. Custom payment method, Invoice and Advance payment are manual options. The customer can place an order without money being deducted at checkout. You provide payment instructions and reconcile the payment yourself. For example, calling a custom method "Swish" does not create an automatic Swish connection. Compare the providers' current terms based on your customers' countries, currencies, and desired payment methods. Check both fixed fees and per-transaction fees. For a junior enterprise (UF-företag), for example, the provider needs to confirm that an agreement can be signed for that specific business type. A manual method does not mean that the bank's or payment service's costs disappear. 2. Add and configure the method Open Settings → Payment methods.Select a method under Add a new payment method and click Add.Fill in the provider's settings according to the guide for that specific method. Use the correct account and distinguish between test mode and live mode. Never share secret API details in the store's visible description.Give the method a clear name for the customer. Check any conditions for country, currency, purchase amount, and customer group.Activate the method and save when the configuration is complete. In the payment method guides you will find the settings for each provider. Follow the specific guide for things like account connection, test mode, and how to activate or refund payments. 3. Check that the customer can pay Open the store's checkout with a representative shopping cart and check that the correct method is displayed for the intended country, currency, and customer type. For an external payment service, follow the provider's test instructions before accepting live purchases. A method appearing in the list is not in itself proof that the agreement or the payment flow is working. After a purchase, monitor the payment status on the order and, when necessary, in the provider's portal. Payout of funds occurs according to the agreement with the payment provider or bank; Abicart's order status is not a payout confirmation. If the method is missing or not displayed at checkout Missing from the list of new methods: check the exact provider name. Not all providers have a ready-made integration. Contact Abicart with your store ID and the desired method if you are unsure; do not choose another provider as a substitute for the one you have an agreement with.Exists in admin but is missing at checkout: check Active, saved account details, and the method's limitations for the current customer and shopping cart.Displayed as Not available: this is not the same as the method simply being disabled. Check the availability with Abicart before building on an older integration.Error during payment: note the method, time, and error message, and check the provider's portal. Do not send any passwords, card details, or secret keys to support. Quick start Choose a payment service or manual payment.Go to Settings → Payment methods and add the correct method.Fill in the agreement and account settings, activate, and save.Check the checkout and payment status according to the provider's test instructions. Subscription and costs Payment methods are available in Go, Plus, and Pro. The individual integration must be available for the store. Agreements, transaction fees, and payout terms with the payment provider are separate from the Abicart subscription.

Search engine optimization of images

27 Nov 2025

Images help you get visitors' attention, increase user experience, help SEO and keep your visitors engaged. But with a slow image load time, we understand that the sales experience is negatively impacted.  The Google Core Web Vitals list specific factors that they consider important to a website's overall user experience. How the site handles images is one of their parameters.How does it work?This update doesn't change how you add the images, but how we deliver them to the different browsers. You can upload the images in GIF, PNG and JPEG as usual.The new update will force the website to select these images and automatically detect the format supported by your browser. Based on that, it will request the best possible image format for the specific browser.For example, if the image is in JPEG format and the visitor is using Chrome (browser). Then the theme will search for the best format that suits the Chrome browser (WebP or AVIF). We will then convert JPEG to WebP or AVIF automatically for best results.Not all browsers support WebP and AVIF, so we have not added an option to upload them in admin. If the browser does not support them, it will fall back to its normal format.How does it affect Core Web Vitals?The next generation image format improves the loading speed of the images. So that's the first and foremost change you'll notice when you test your site.We've changed how we load slideshows and other blocks. So that helps with the efficient loading of images.

Own partners (suppliers, affiliates, delivery point)

27 Nov 2025

Allow a partner/supplier to log in and manage orders. Ability to create affiliate links.What are partners? Under "Partners" you can create affiliate, supplier partners or pickup locations. Note: The partner function is included at no extra cost in Abicart Plus and Pro. Partner types Affiliate partner The partner links to your store via a link and thus generates traffic to your store. If the customer has come to the store via the partner's link, the partner receives a percentage of the order value of the items (not of the shipping fee). Distribution is set for the entire range or for each product or product group separately. All affiliate partners receive the same commission. So you can not give different commissions to different affiliate partners. Seller partner Your store is the retailer of the partner's items and you receive compensation on sales. Which partner delivers a product is set for the entire range or for each product or product group separately. You can set different commissions for each supplier partner. Pick-up location The partner delivers the ordered goods to the customer and a separate order notification is sent to the partner. The customer in the shop can choose the pick-up location when placing the order. Create all pick-up locations as different partners, e.g. Gothenburg, Stockholm and Copenhagen. Create new partner Start by creating a new partner. Go to Partner -> Partner -> click on "New Partner". Fields to fill in Company/Organization: Enter a name for the partner. Partner type: Select the type of partner to be created (supplier, affiliate partner or pickup location). Contact person: Enter the contact details of the partner. Login (suppliers): Enable login if you want the partner to be able to log in and see the orders they deliver or have received commission/royalty for. Suppliers can also edit the delivery status of their sub-orders/packages. Authority (suppliers): Check if you want the partner to see full order information (item price, shipping, etc.). Email address for orders (suppliers): Here, order confirmations are sent to the partner. Payment: A text field for the store's own notes. Caution: This must be a valid email address as any login details will be sent there. Specify supplier generally Under Partner -> Suppliers, you can specify that a partner of type supplier should be the supplier for all items in the store. This partner will then receive an order confirmation with information about the articles on every order. You set the partner to be a supplier when you create the partner. Summary Under "Summary" you can summarise your partners distribution/provision over a certain time: Distribution VAT: shows how much of the distribution is VAT. Distribution incl. VAT: shows the total amount to the partner including VAT. Give commission generally Under "Partner -> Commission/royalty" you can specify that a partner should receive a percentage distribution for all items in the store: Selecting "Affiliate partner" will give all partners who are affiliates the distribution. You can also add a supplier and give this partner a different distribution. Warning: Note that allocation does not take into account discounted items. It is always based on the price of the product without discount. Specify partner at product level Specify supplier on a specific product group or product On each product group or product, you can specify that a partner of type supplier should be the supplier for all items in the product group or only the specific product. How to do it: Go to Products -> Click on the product -> Click on the Suppliers tab. Check "Supplier selected according to form" and select supplier from the drop-down menu on the right. This partner will then receive an order confirmation with information about the products for which they are a supplier when ordering. Specify commission on a specific product group or product For a product group or product, you can specify that a partner should have a percentage distribution for all products in the product group or just the specific product. How to do it: Go to Products -> click on the product name -> click on the Commission/royalty tab. Under the "Commission/royalty" tab, tick "Distribution according to form" and then select your partner under "Add partner to share with..." either a specific supplier partner or affiliate partners in general. View partner distribution If a partner is listed either generally, on a product group or individual products and an order is placed on these items, then the distribution for the partner is compiled under the "Distribution" tab.

Connect the correct Google Tag Manager container to the store

27 Nov 2025

Gather the store's tags in the correct container and control the measurement without duplicate purchases or conflicting consent settings. This guide is for store administrators and those responsible for measurement. It applies to Diversity themes with the Google add-on in Go, Plus, and Pro. Google Tag Manager requires a Google account and the correct permissions. These instructions should not be used as a general installation guide for older TPL or custom themes that lack these settings. 1. Find an existing account and the correct container First, check if the store already has a GTM container. Ask the responsible agency or colleague for access to it instead of creating a competing installation. Ensure that the store owner has permanent access. Having a Google account does not automatically grant permission to the company's container. In GTM, a container is the collection of tags, triggers, and variables. A tag sends or processes data. A trigger specifies when it should run, and a variable provides, for example, a transaction ID or order value. 2. Create a web container if one is missing Open Google Tag Manager with the company's designated Google account.Create an account if the organization doesn't already have one and create a container with a clear name for the store.Select the target platform Web.Copy the container ID that starts with GTM-. It is not a GA4 ID that starts with G- and not an Ads ID that starts with AW-. 3. Add the ID to the active theme Go to Appearance → Themes. Check which theme and version are active in the current store or sub-store.Open Edit → Add-ons → Google → Google Tag Manager.Enter the GTM ID in the Tag Manager field and save. Do not paste Google's full script block into this ID field.Check for any domain-specific Google settings. A specific ID for the domain can be used instead of the general one. If you change containers, first document the existing ID, tags, consent settings, and measurement responsibilities. A new ID does not automatically move tags and history from the old container. Verify the change in the correct store before it goes live. 4. Configure tags and consent Adding the container ID does not automatically install all desired Analytics, Ads, or other tags. These are configured in GTM with the correct triggers and variables. The Diversity theme's Google flow sets default consent values before Google tags are loaded and updates them when the visitor makes a choice. However, each tag must be correctly configured for its consent requirements. Custom HTML tags and other vendors' scripts do not automatically follow all rules just because they are in GTM. Check if the same GA4 or Ads measurement is also enabled directly in the theme or through another script. Choose one intended path for the same purchase measurement; duplicate installations can result in duplicate events. Server-side tagging is a separate setup and is not created by entering a standard web container's GTM ID here. 5. Check before publishing the GTM version Use Preview in GTM and connect Tag Assistant to the correct domain.Confirm that the correct container is loading and that the correct tags are firing on the intended events.Check without a consent choice, after denial, and after consent. Also check that choices can be changed again.Check purchase measurement, transaction ID, value, and currency with an authorized test flow. Do not count both the older purchase and purchase_GA4 as two different purchases.Publish the reviewed GTM version and check the regular store again. If nothing appears: check the container ID, active theme, correct domain, and the published GTM version. An ad blocker can affect the test; an empty Preview result does not in itself prove a store error. A theme that is only being previewed is not proof that the public store uses the same settings. Quick startReuse the company's existing container or create a Web container.Enter the GTM ID in the correct active theme.Configure tags and consent without duplicate measurement paths.Test in Preview, publish the intended GTM version, and check the store. SubscriptionGo, Plus, and Pro can use the Google extension in themes that support it. The Google account's permissions and the theme's actual features determine if this guide is applicable. Check the active theme again after a theme change.

What is an SSL certificate?

27 Nov 2025

What do I need to do to get HTTPS and for the page to be marked as secure in the browser?What is SSL encryption?SSL is included in our platform and is activated in the store as soon as you start a subscription.SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and is a security service for your shop that ensures that all the information your customers fill in themselves (for example, in various forms at login and checkout) is passed on as encrypted information to databases and payment systems.It is an important addition to have so that your visitors and customers feel safe. Many modern browsers automatically block pages that don't have SSL, which makes it extra important.How can you tell if a page has SSL?You can see whether a page is encrypted or not in front of the address in your browser's address window. If you see a padlock, there is an SSL certificate. The addresses of pages with SSL certificates always start with "https://".This domain does not have an SSL certificate:This domain has an SSL certificate (https):Important information about SSLSSL only works if you have your own domain associated with the store. SSL cannot be activated if you only have a domain through us e.g. "w65116.shop.abicart.se".SSL only works with our responsive themes. Not with the classic theme. Are you getting a warning on your site even though you have purchased SSL? Scroll to the bottom of this page to read about what could be causing it.Don't forget to change to HTTPS in Google Analytics after activationIf you're using Google Analytics, you'll need to make a change in Analytics once SSL has been activated. There you change from HTTP to HTTPS so that the statistics continue to work correctly.Log in to your Analytics account, and click on the gear in the bottom left corner. Then go to the middle column, "Property" and there click on "Property settings". In front of "Default URL" there is a selector for "http" and "https", select "https". Then scroll down and save. Done.Why do I get warnings that the site is not secure even though I have activated a subscription?In some cases, you may get warnings that the page is not secure even though SSL is enabled in the store, and this is usually because you have linked in an external script or image from another website that does not have SSL. In this case, you will need to find the script/image and upload the file to the store's file repository under Appearance -> File repository instead. Then you can link the script/image from there. Then the warning will disappear. 

Connect BL Administration and check product and order sync

27 Nov 2025

Connect a BL company and choose a safe direction for products, available stock, customers, and orders. This guide is for administrators with Abicart's BL Administration integration and a BL company stored in the cloud. BL is an option in Pro's included ERP choices; the supplier's agreement and integration access are required separately. The company key used by BL is for integration context, not a general customer password. 1. Prepare data and sync direction Each product and variant/customer choice needs a unique item number and name.Prices are entered excluding VAT in BL. A full product import reads Sales prices 1/sellPrice1.Activate the relevant currencies in BL before exporting orders in those currencies.Variants must first be created in Abicart and exported to BL so that the identities match.Determine the source for price, product data, available stock, and customers. Do not activate competing imports and exports for the same data. 2. Activate the integration in BL and connect the company In BL Administration, select File → BL integration. Select Abicart from the available integrations and activate it. Confirm Yes, start the integration when it is the correct company. Open the integration settings (gear icon) and copy the company's public integration key. In Abicart, go to Settings → External connections → BL Administration.Paste the company key under Connection and save.Verify that the connection is for the correct BL company before activating sync events. Missing feature access and a rejected key are different errors. 3. Map fee items Create items in BL for Shipping, Cash on delivery, Transaction fee, Discount, and Other payment. Enter their item numbers in the integration settings: Here is an example of a shipping item and its accounting entry: Account 3520 in the example is not a universal requirement. Fees, gift cards, VAT, and currency must be mapped according to the company's actual accounting workflow, with the correct signs and document handling. 4. Choose product import or export Product export: choose whether all products should be exported on the next event and if the customer choice name should be included in the product name. Product import: choose full import or Import stock balance only. Import choiceActual meaningFull importUpdates product details according to the BL fields, with the price from sellPrice1 and available stock from availableStock.Stock balance onlyPreserves name/price and does not import new products, but it is not completely free from other effects: product visibility, normal product type, and inventory management are set by the import, and the variant flag can be changed.VariantsMatching is done using the product/variant number. The initial setup bootstrap must be completed. Import stock balance only does not protect product visibility. The import can also change visibility, a variant's active status, ordinary product type and stock management. Do not use this mode for intentionally hidden products without first checking these effects. Reconcile the correct BL company, unique product/variant numbers and available stock before automatic import. A full import can also change prices and other product details.Available stock is not the same as the physical count on the premises. 5. Set up events and review results Export order: choose when the order is transferred. Queued processing can take time despite Update immediately.Export item on add/change or Item import: choose an intended source/direction.Export customer list or Import customer: choose the corresponding customer flow. Check a limited, allowed basis: correct company, item/variant number, Sales prices 1, availableStock, visibility, currency, and fee lines. In case of an uncertain outcome, check existing supplier references before trying again; a successful connection is no general guarantee against duplicate order/invoice data. Quick startCheck the cloud company, access, and unique numbers.Activate the BL integration and connect the correct company key in Abicart.Map fees and choose a source/direction.Review the import's price/stock/visibility and the export's document reference. Subscription and accessBL Administration is an option in Pro's included ERP choices. A BL agreement, cloud-stored company, and integration permission are also required. Plan access does not automatically provide a correct accounting or sync model.

Automatic product import via FTP

27 Nov 2025

It is quite common for external suppliers to update products and stock balances continuously via a text file and/or feed, in which case you can set it to be automatically imported into the store. You will then need a login to the server where the file resides, or make sure the supplier uploads the file to their own server.**Please note that an FTP server is not included in the Abicart subscription. This needs to be purchased separately, for example via a hosting provider.** The import only supports FTP, not SFTP Which file formats are supported? For the file to be imported, it must be a text file. The following file types are supported: CSV, TXT, TAB, and SKV. A text file can contain different character encodings and the import supports two, "Windows UTF-8 (universal)" and "Windows ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1, Western European)". If you receive a file with articles from a supplier, you should be able to get them in one of these formats. If you create the products yourself in a spreadsheet program, such as Excel or LibreOffice Calc, you can choose the file format when you save the file. Create a template with column orderFirst, you have to do a manual product import the first time. The reason is that the system needs to know the order of the properties in the import file. You can read more about how to do a product import here in our manual: https://www.abicart.se/om-abicart/manual/import-export/produktimport There is a good video tutorial of a few minutes that we recommend you watch. Follow the instructions on the manual page "Product Import" and then under the heading "Importing a file of products into the store" and especially the section on "Saving column order for future imports".  Note that if the order of columns in the file is changed, you must redo the above step and save a new template with the new order. ### Gör inställningarna för FTP-anslutningen Gå till Inställningar -> Externa kopplingar -> FTP-artikelimport FTP server - Enter the server's domain or IP address FTP username - The username of the FTP server FTP password - The password to the FTP server FTP path - If the file to be imported is located in a directory on the server, enter the path to the file, for example,/webshop/products/ File Name Pattern - The name of the file to be imported. If you want to import multiple files, we recommend that you place all files in one directory. Then enter * as the file name. Then all files in the selected directory will be imported. Keep in mind that all files must have exactly the same column order to be imported. Remember that you have to enter the exact file name with possible lower and upper case letters for existing products to be updated. If the item number is not found, a new product will be created. If you want to import new product images, you can place them on the same FTP server as the import file, or you can download them from another server. In that case, just tick the box "Get images from separate server" and enter the data there. File format - If there are column headings in the file on the top line, such as "item number", "product name", etc., check this box. If there is an item on the first line of the file, leave it unchecked. Column order template - When you did the first manual import above, you should have saved a template with the column order in the file. Enter the name of that template. The name must be exactly the same as the name you gave the template, with lower and upper case letters. Field delimiter - If you know what field delimiter the file contains, select it here, otherwise select automatic and the system will try to detect it. Character encoding - If you know what character encoding the file contains, choose this, otherwise, choose automatic and the system will try to detect it. Updates You need to set how the item will be handled if it is already in the range. Update information - If the item already exists, all data should be imported anyway. This is the most common setting, especially if you are doing daily stock balance updates. Ignore - If the item already exists, the new content of the file should not be imported.This setting is quite unusual, but it may be that you do not manage stock balances and only want to import new items once the supplier has received them into the import file. Force update of images and attachments - If the article already contains images, you can force these to be updated anyway, for example, if you have updated the images on the image server and they have the same file name as before. Then the images will always be uploaded even if they already exist. This setting makes the import take much longer.

Fix your article numbers - Northmill integration

27 Nov 2025

This manual is aimed at those who have duplicate article/item numbers or products without article/item numbers in their range. Deepening of point no. 8 in the manual: Connect your webshop with Northmill Flo (formerly MoreFlo).Fixing the art.nr before activating the Northmill integrationBefore activating the Northmill integration, we recommend that you fix any warning message on the integration page (Settings >> External links >> Moreflo) so that there are no duplicates in your assortment. It is also good if products without an art.nr get a unique art.nr .Products with no art.nr/product numberProducts without an article number will not be exported Abi >> NMF until they get an article number.*Abi = Abicart*NMF = Northmill FloDuplicate / X products or variants use the same product number.In Abicart there is no limit to the number of times an art.nr can be repeated, unlike in ERP systems where an art.nr can only exist once. If you activate the integration with duplicate article numbers, the products with the same art.nr will remain in Abicart as usual, but overwrite the art.nr in Northmill every time the art.nr is exported.Example:Item no. ABC - Bathing ballItem no. ABC - Striped swimsuitItem no. ABC - Swimming gogglesThe integration is active with Inventory Management Abicart, Product Export and Import Cash Receipt. Art.nr ABC exists three times in Abicart. If you edit the product Badboll , it is exported to Northmill. Badboll now exists in Northmill. If you then edit Striped swimsuit in Abiart and save, the product is exported to Northmill. Art.nr ABC is now changed from the product information for Swim Ball, to Striped Swimsuit. If you then update Swimwear , the same thing happens again: the information for Striped Sw imsuit changes to Swimwear.Before you get started- Read the Northmill Flo manual and follow the points up to point no. 8"Review the message at the top of the integration page".- Go to Settings >> External connections >> MorefloThe warning message on the integration can warn about missing product numbers/article numbers, duplicates & customer numbers (See image).In this manual we show export of products, not customers. This fixes missing article numbers and duplicate article numbers, not customer numbers. If the warning message remains even though you have just corrected all article numbers, it may be in the form of junk data. Then you can ignore the warning and proceed to step 9 of the Northmill Flo manual. How to do this1) Go to Assortment >> Export2) Take out two exports by checking the options below >> ExportExport 1: - Product number- Product nameExport 2:- Product number- Product name- Include customer choices with their own properties as separate rowsHere you can read more about product export: Link to the product export manual.Image example Export 1:Fixing products without article number1) Open export file no. 1 on your computer.In column A you will find the art.nr and in column B the product name.2) Fixing products without art.nrIf there is a product name in column B but the row field in column A is empty:Copy the product name >> Go to admin >> Assortment >> Products >> Search for the product name >> Click on the product to edit >> Enter a unique art.nr >> Save.Repeat for all products in the file that have a product name but no art.nr.3) Repeat with export file no. 2.In this file, it is the customer's choice variants' article numbers that are interesting. The art.nr for the customer's choice is in column C.--> Fix variants that do not have an art.nr by Copying the product name >> Assortment >> Products >> Search for the product name in admin >> Edit the product >> Enter the customer's choice >> Enter the art.nr for all variants >> Save. Remember the rules for article numbersOnly use only letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), hyphens (-) and underscores ( _ ) in your part numbers. Many external systems (transport systems, financial and cash register systems, etc.) do not allow certain special characters in the art.nr. E.g. space, & sign, hash tag, dot, comma, etc. Therefore, avoid using these special characters. Fixing duplicates / products using the same art.nr1) Open export file no. 1 >> Select the entire column A where the art.nr is located >> Search for duplicates.You can search for duplicates e.g. in Excel or via various pages on the internet. See example "Find duplicates" below.2) Fix the duplicatesExample: Item no. 123 exists twice. One is a sweater in size Small and the other in Medium. The art.nr gets a unique ending:Art. no. 123-SArt.no. 123-MNow the products each have a unique article number and will be exported to Northmill Flo correctly.3) Repeat with export file no. 2. In this file, it is the article numbers for the customer's choice of variants that are of interest. They are in column C. Therefore, copy column C and repeat the steps to find duplicates.Example: Finding duplicatesOpen your browser and search for "duplicate count tool". For example this tool >> Select column A >> Copy >> Go to the page you are using >> Paste what you copied in the Paste Text Below box >> Click on the Display/Update counts button >> Review the count:On the left (count) you have the number of duplicates and on the right (line) you have your art.nr.3) Repeat the same thing for export file no. 2. In this file it is column C you copy. There is the art.nr forContact customer service if you have any questions

Product import with customer choice

27 Nov 2025

You can sell products where the buyer can choose different variants, such as size, colour, model, material or similar. This is called "customer choice" in Abicart. To avoid having to enter this manually on each product, you can do this via an import.What should the file look like to import the customer's choices?In a normal import, only the item number is needed to identify the product, but to import the customer's choice, an additional item number is needed for the choice (variant) itself. So, to create a brand new product with the customer's choice via import, at least the following properties need to be included in the file:article number (for the main product)product name (in the store's base language)item number for customer selectionName of customer's choice, e.g. "Colour"price (in the store's base currency)Example of what the import file might look like when importing a product with three sizes and two colours.In the example above, the sizes small and medium cost the same, 100 SEK, while large costs 125 SEK. You can also import other product properties such as description, weight, etc. in the import, but above are the columns that are mandatory to create a new product in an import.It does not matter in which order the properties are located in the file. When you do the actual import, you select the property for each column. More on this below.Create import templatesIn order to import the customer's choices, you first need to create so-called import templates for the choices. For example, if you want to import sizes and/or colors, you need to create a template for each customer choice. In this example, one for "Size" and one for "Color".Go to Assortment -> Import.In the top block "About Import", there is a heading a bit down called "Importing the customer's selection". Then click on the link "Customer Choice Import Templates"Click on "Add new".Here are a number of options:Name - Please enter a name for the template, for example "Size".This option may have a price impact - If certain options are to cost extra, you need to enable this setting.A possible price impact is applied before the price is multiplied by the numeric text fields that affect the quantity - If you use two text fields where the buyer has to enter different values, for example if you sell a product where the buyer has to enter his own measurements for height and width. Then you can check this setting and these values will be multiplied before the price is added. This will give you, for example, a price per square metre of the product.This selection may affect weight - If some selections weigh more than the original product, you need to activate this setting.Single properties (stock balance, item number, picture) - If you want to be able to specify a stock balance or link a picture to each selection, this setting should be enabled. You should always check this box.Click the save button when the template is finished.The most common settings are "This selection may have price impact" and "Custom properties".If you have products with several different properties, such as color, size, model, material, etc., you need to create a template for each property.Import customer's choice in AbicartGo to Assortment -> Import.In "Select file", select the file you want to import.Double check that "Automatic" is selected in both "Fields are separated by" and "Character coding" and that "Update information" is selected in "If product already exists in the assortment". See picture.Then click the continue button in the bottom right corner.This will take us to the following page.In this example, there are headings in the first row of each column in the import file. We don't want to import these, so we check "First row contains column headings".In order for the system to know which column contains each property, we need to select this. Since we have clear column headings, it is easy to select. Part number in the first column and product name in the second, etc. Select the column for all properties to be imported.If you have many properties, you may need to scroll sideways to see all the columns. If there is a property you don't want to update, select "Ignore Column" and it will be skipped.Before we start the import, there is a checkbox called "Save column order for future imports". If you have a lot of properties that you want to update, and you know that you will be doing this kind of import several times, you can save a template for the column order.If you tick it, next time you can click on the "Load saved column order" link instead of selecting each column one by one. Note that it must be exactly the same column order in the file for it to be correct.If you know that this import will only be done once, leave the checkbox next to "Save column order for future imports" blank, and then click "Start import".Depending on how many lines (articles) there are in the file, this will take different amounts of time. If there are only a few lines, it can be done in a few seconds, but if there are many, thousands of lines, it can take half an hour, an hour or even several hours. Wait until everything is ready. Hopefully it will look something like this picture.In this case, there were seven lines in the file. We checked that the first line contained headers, so it was ignored. The remaining six lines were imported.Things to consider:Products with customer selections must have a master item number and a unique item number on each selection.Variants of the same product must be directly below each other in the file. They are imported in the order they are listed in the file.

Product import

27 Nov 2025

If you have a lot of products to add to the store or to update, there is an import function. This means you don't have to do it manually for each product. It is important to remember that all products must have a unique item number for the import to work. You first prepare the import in a spreadsheet program, such as Google Sheets (free), LibreOffice (free), OpenOffice (free) or Excel (Windows), Numbers (Mac) . You enter a property in each column where the item number is the "key" the product is identified with. For example, if you want to update the price and stock balance of several products, it is sufficient to have three columns in the file. Column A for the article number, column B for the price and column C for the stock balance. Video guide: What file formats are supported? In order for the file to be imported, it must be a text file of type .CSV, .TXT or .SKV.A text file can also contain different character encoding and our import supports two different ones, "Windows UTF-8 (universal)" and "Windows ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1, Western European)". If you receive a file with items from a supplier, you should be able to get them in one of these formats.If you create the products in a spreadsheet program, such as Excel, you can choose the file format by selecting "Save as" and then selecting "File type" from the list. What is needed to create a completely new product via import? To create a brand new product, at least the following fields are required: Item number Product name (in the basic language of the shop) Product description (in the basic language of the shop) Price (in the store's base currency) An example of what this looks like in an import file: What is needed to update an existing product via import? It is quite common to need to update a property of the products, such as stock balance or perhaps setting a new price in case of a sale. To update a product that already exists in the store, only two columns are needed in the import file: the item number and the property to be updated, such as price. An example of what this looks like in the import file: The system then uses the item number to identify the product and then updates the prices of all item numbers included in the file. Nothing is changed on the product other than the property or properties on file. I have an Excel file, how do I import it? Many suppliers use Excel (xls, xlsx) as a file format and this cannot be imported directly into our system. You must first resave the file to a text file before it can be imported. Below are guides on how to resave an Excel file to a text file in Excel and "Libre Office (Open Office)". Excel (Microsoft Office): Open the file and then go to File - "Save As". (If you are using Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office button and then click Save As.) The "Save As" dialog box opens. Select the text file format for the spreadsheet in the "File Format" box. Click CSV (comma delimited). Drag to the location where you want to save the new text file, then click Save. A dialog box will appear. It says that only the current spreadsheet will be saved in the new file. If you are sure that the current spreadsheet is the one you want to save as a text file, click OK. You can save other spreadsheets as separate text files by repeating the procedure for each spreadsheet. A second dialog box appears, stating that the spreadsheet may contain features that are not supported by the text file format. Click Yes if you only want to save the spreadsheet data in the new text file. The file is now ready to be used for import. Open Office / LibreOffice: Open the file and then go to File -> Save As Click on the list next to "File Format" to expand it.   Select "Text CSV"   Also check "Edit filter settings" and then click the save button.   For "Character set", select "Unicode (UTF-8)".For "Field delimiter", select "comma".For "Text delimiter", select "quote". Import a file of products into the store We now have a text file in the correct format (see above) that contains products and is ready to be imported.Go to Assortment -> Import.In "Select file" select the file you want to import.Double-check that "Automatic" is selected for both "Separate fields with" and "Character encoding" and that "Update information" is selected for "If item already exists in assortment". See picture. Then click the continue button in the bottom right corner. This will take us to the following page.   In this example, there are headers in the first row of each column in the import file. We do not want to import these, but check "First row contains column headings".   In order for the system to know which column contains each property, we need to select this. Since we have clear column headings, it is easy to select. Part number in the first column and product name in the second, etc. Select the column for all properties to be imported.   If you have many properties, you may need to scroll sideways to see all the columns. If there is a property you don't want to update, select "Ignore Column" and it will be skipped. Before we start the import, there is a checkbox called "Save column order for future imports". If you have a lot of properties that you want to update, and you know that you will be doing this kind of import several times, you can save a template for the column order. If you tick it, next time you can click on the "Load saved column order" link instead of selecting each column one by one. Note that it must be exactly the same column order in the file for it to be correct.   If you know that this import will only be done once, leave the checkbox next to "Save column order for future imports" empty, and then click "Start import". Depending on how many lines (articles) there are in the file, this will take different amounts of time. If there are only a few lines, it can be done in a few seconds, but if there are many, thousands of lines, it can take half an hour, an hour or even several hours. Wait until everything is ready. Hopefully it will look something like this picture. In this case, there were seven lines in the file. We checked that the first line contained headers, so it was ignored. The remaining six lines were imported. Importing multiple product categories on one product In Abicart Plus and Pro, a product can belong to several product categories, and this can also be solved via import. You then add a new line to the file and enter the product number again and then type the name of the second product group in the product group column. In this example, the beach ball will end up in three product groups: "Beach", "Toys" (subgroup of "Beach") and in "Offers". You can only put the product in one product group via import. If you want to remove the link between a product and a product group, you need to do it manually in admin. Importing multiple images of a product To import multiple images on a product, add a new line to the file and enter the item number again, then enter the image filename/url of the second image in the image column. In this example, the Badball product will have three images imported.   If you have a file where the images are in different columns, you will have to solve the import by importing each image column separately. You do a full import first with all properties and select "Image" for the first image column in the file. Once that import is complete, you do a new import with just the product number and image column 2. If there are more columns with images, you repeat the import with the product number and image column 3, image column 4, etc.   Example, what should the import file look like? Updating prices For updating prices of existing products only, the file can look like this: The only thing needed is the item number of the products to be updated and the new prices. Article number in column A and the new prices in column B. Update stock balance To update stock balances on existing products only, the file can look like this: In this example, three columns are needed. Item number, inventory management (1 = yes, 0 = no) and inventory balance. We therefore import a one in column B to enable inventory management on the item and then the inventory balance itself in column C.   Mark products as new until a date You can import the date when a product should stop being marked as new. Add a column with a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, for example 2026-12-31. When you match the columns in the import, select "New until" for that column. The product is automatically marked as new. You don't need a separate "New item" column. The product stops being marked as new on the date you enter. If you want it to stay new through 31 December, enter 2027-01-01. Enter a date, not a number of days. If the value isn't a valid date, the row is listed in the import log and the date is ignored. The rest of the row is imported as usual. If the same row has 0 in the "New item" column, the product is not marked as new and the date is ignored. If you leave the field empty for a product, its current setting is kept. The file can look like this: Item number;New until 1001;2026-12-31 1002;2027-01-15 F.A.Q. Question: I did an import but all the lines were ignored, why? Answer: Most likely there is a setting in step 1 of the import that is wrong. Under Assortment -> Import at "Import settings" -> "If the item is already in the assortment:" then "Ignore" is selected. Change the setting to "Update information" and rerun the import. Question: many of my products are marked as "New". How do I unmark them all as new in the easiest way? Answer: The quickest way is to do an export of all products (Assortment -> Export). Export the properties "item number" as well as "novelty". Open the file in a spreadsheet program and enter a zero on all lines in the column "Novelty". Save the file and then do an import. Then all items will be unmarked as new.

Importing customer prices (old way of pricing)

27 Nov 2025

Instead of manually entering alternative prices for all products on each customer group, you can do a text file import that quickly updates all prices in the file.  Custom price imports are included in Abicart Plus and Pro at no extra cost.Note: This import only applies to the "old" way of pricing, where you enter customer-specific prices under the "Product selection and prices" tab directly on the customer group.If you use price lists, customer-specific prices are imported in a separate price list under Products -> Pricing.What should the import file look like?The appearance of the file can vary depending on the different currencies active in the store. To see exactly what the file should look like for you, go to Customers -> Import Customer Prices. Under the heading "Import customer prices and product selection", you will see a bulleted list of the columns that need to be in the file for the import to work. In this example, we only have SEK as the active currency in our shop and the file should look like this: Customer group nameName of the customer group. The name has to match exactly with lower and upper case letters. If the customer group does not already exist, it will be created.Product numberPlease enter the product number. If the product number does not exist in the store, the import will receive an error message and be aborted completely. It is not possible to specify a different price for the customer's choice. Only the price of the main product can be entered.Price (SEK)Enter a new price for the product. If you want the product to have the same price as the regular price, the product number must be included and you then leave the price field empty. Extra price (SEK)Enter a new extra price for the product. Example fileThe following is an example of what an import file might look like.  Things to considerThe file to be imported must be a text file with a semicolon as delimiter. Both prices and extra prices can be left blank. If only product numbers are present, it means that the product is included in the customer group selection with normal price. In case of an import, the previous settings of the customer group will be reset. Then the product numbers and prices contained in the file will be imported. So you cannot update only one product price via an import, but all products and all prices must be included in the import file.When the file is ready to be imported, column headings on line 1 must be deleted (as this example shows). The first line must be a product. 

Register business customers and control their access

27 Nov 2025

Choose how business customers apply for an account and control which product range and prices they actually see. This guide is for store administrators in Plus and Pro with customer login and customer groups. It describes manual application and self-registration. Basic customer permissions are not controlled by the theme; however, menu links and registration blocks may be located differently in different active themes. 1. Choose how the business customer will get an account The standard registration primarily asks for an email and username. This is not always sufficient to assess company name, organization number, and the right to a specific product range or price list. NeedSuitable pathYou want to review each application before creating an accountDisable self-registration, use a contact form, and create the account after review.The customer should be able to register immediately but have limited accessConfigure a truly limited default group and check all group memberships and price/purchase right rules. 2. Manual application via contact formIf no one should be able to shop before a manual business review: disable self-registration and choose that login is required to view prices and order. Just disabling self-registration does not stop guest purchases. Also, check the access for existing accounts. Open Customers → Settings and select New customer accounts can only be created by an administrator.Open the contact form's system page under Pages. The basic fields are name, email, subject, and message. The phone field can be optional, mandatory, or hidden depending on the form settings; this flow does not offer free-form company fields.Add an instruction above the form about which company details the customer should enter in the message, for example, company name, organization number, and desired account.Check the recipient Contact email under Settings → Email.After review: open Customers → Customers/customer register → New customer, enter the correct details and assign the intended groups, purchase rights, and store access. Link the contact form in the active theme's menu so the application can be found. Follow the customer register guide for account/login management and do not share a common password with multiple customers. The contact form sends an application to the store's contact recipient. It does not create an account or approve any customer. Check that the application has arrived and create the correct account only after the review.3. Self-registration with limited initial access Email confirmation is not a manual business review. Self-registration with email confirmation creates an automatically approved account. Only use this path when the customer can get the configured access without waiting for a manual account review. A group simply named ”Not approved” or ”Pending” does not create a technical block by its name. Configure the default group's actual product selection and prices according to the customer group guide.Check all the customer's groups. The product range is a union of the groups' selections; a single unrestricted group can grant the entire product range.Assess purchasing rights separately. Hiding prices for guests is not a protected waiting state for a registered customer: logging in can make prices visible.If the customer's access changes later, assign the correct groups and check that old memberships do not grant broader access than intended. A limited self-registration is not a separate technical waiting state for manual account approval. Example: a waiting group with a limited selection plus another group with an unrestricted selection can give the customer the entire product range. If there are multiple valid customer group prices, the lowest one is chosen after VAT handling, not the price from the last group added.An account without a restricting group should not be treated as blocked. Also check the customer without a group, not just customers with multiple groups. Ensure that the correct limited product range actually applies and that no other group makes more products available. If a customer is waiting for manual review, it is safer not to create a usable account until the review is complete than to rely on a group name. 4. Notification and result verification Under the customer settings, you will find Send email to the store when a new customer registers. Check that it is enabled if you want registration notifications and that the store's contact recipient is correct. This is separate from the email from the contact form and from a manual approval. As a logged-out visitor, check which product range and prices are visible.Check a self-registered customer's actual access and purchasing rights as well as an account without a restricting group. Do not use self-registration as a manual approval queue.Check the same things for a reviewed customer with the intended groups.Check the correct sub-store and that the application/registration link works in the active theme. A missing registration email does not automatically mean that no account was created. Check the customer registry, the notification option, the recipient, and then the email server/SPF before asking the customer to register again. Quick startChoose manual application or truly limited self-registration.Set up account access, contact recipients, and intended groups.Check the group union, prices, and purchasing rights with the correct customer status.Link the correct form and check notifications separately. Subscription and accessCustomer login and this B2B group management require Plus or Pro in the current plan. A payment provider's approval for business purchases is a different matter than the customer account in Abicart. A group name or hidden guest price does not replace actual permission rules.

Email settings

27 Nov 2025

The store's miscellaneous email settings. What are e-mail settings? Here you can find settings to specify the different shop email addresses to be used for communication to and from your customers. Enter your email addresses in all fields.You cannot create email addresses for your domain here in the shop, but you can do this with your domain provider/web host where you bought your domain. Contact their support for help setting up email accounts and managing your email addresses. E-mail ordersThe address where your copy of the order confirmation will be sent. Max one email address in each field. Click the "Add another email address" button if you want to add more. Customers will receive the email address you enter in this field as the return address on their order confirmations. Note that the store owner will receive a different return address, shop-orders@abicart.se instead. The reason is to minimize the risk of the order confirmation getting stuck in spam.E-mail order senderSending address for order confirmations. You can only have one email address as sender. NOTE!!! If you enter multiple email addresses in this field, no order confirmations can be sent out, neither to customers nor to the store.E-mail contactEnter an e-mail address to be used when customers contact the store via the contact form (Own pages -> Contact form).E-mail newsletterSending address for newsletters. You can only have one e-mail address as sender. E-mail address for alertsE-mail address used as sender address when sending out article alerts.Custom SMTP settingsIf you want to have full control of all the mailings that are sent out and also monitor statistics, you can use your own SMTP server. Enable the feature and choose a predefined provider or set your own details for your mail server. This is an advanced feature and if you choose to use it, we at Abicart cannot provide support in case it does not work. Instead, you should contact your web host or the company responsible for the SMTP server for troubleshooting.If you have not entered your own SMTP details, all sends are made from Abicart's mail servers and masked so that to the recipient it looks like it has been sent from your email address. A disadvantage of not using your own SMTP server is that the emails sent out can sometimes be interpreted as attempts to netfishing where the real sender is hiding behind another email address.
