All fields are optional and can be shown to customers on the product page. Available attributes: Store Address: the physical address of the store location Store Code: a unique code identifying the store location About Store Code Use Store Code to tag a product with a short identifier for the physical store it belongs to. Keep the code consistent across your products, since this is what ties a product to a specific location. Using Google local inventory ads or vehicle ads? Google Merchant Center has its own store code requirement, and your code here needs to match the one registered in your Google Business Profile. Read Google's Store code guidelines for the full format requirements. Setting up Store attributes 1. Enable 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 Store heading. For each attribute you wish to use, click the edit icon and select your preferred visibility option, then click Save. 2. Add store 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 Store fields, where you can enter the store address and store code. If you have any questions, please contact customer support.

The Importance of Packaging and Labeling in E-commerce: How to Make Your Products Stand Out in 2024

18 Dec 2025

Explore the critical role of packaging and labeling in e-commerce. Learn how to create impactful packaging that enhances your brand, improves customer experience, and drives sales in 2024.Introduction: The role of packaging and labeling in e-commerceIn the competitive world of e-commerce, first impressions are crucial. While much attention is often paid to product quality and marketing strategies, packaging and labeling play an equally important role in shaping customer perceptions and driving brand loyalty. For businesses looking to stand out in 2024, investing in effective packaging and labeling isn't just an aesthetic issue-it's a strategic move that can have a significant impact on your brand's success.In this blog, we'll explore the importance of packaging and labeling in ecommerce, discuss key trends for 2024, and offer practical tips on how to create packaging that not only protects your products but also improves the overall customer experience.Why Packaging and Labeling Matter in E-commerceFirst Impressions and Brand Image:In e-commerce, your packaging is often the first physical interaction a customer has with your brand. Well-designed packaging can leave a lasting impression and reinforce your brand's identity and values. Poor packaging, on the other hand, can lead to disappointment and negative perceptions, even if the product itself is of high quality.Protection and Functionality:Packaging serves the critical function of protecting your products during transportation and handling. It ensures that the product arrives in perfect condition, free from damage. Effective packaging should balance aesthetics with functionality, using materials that are durable and at the same time in line with your brand's image.Customer experience and unboxing:The unboxing experience has become an important part of the e-commerce customer journey. Thoughtfully designed packaging that creates a sense of excitement and anticipation can enhance the overall shopping experience. Customers are more likely to share their unboxing experiences on social media, providing free exposure and word-of-mouth marketing for your brand.Regulatory Compliance and Information:Labeling is important to provide customers with necessary information about the product, such as ingredients, directions for use, and safety warnings. They also ensure that your products comply with industry regulations and standards. Clear and accurate labeling helps build trust with customers by being transparent about what they are buying.Environmental impact and sustainability:As consumers become increasingly environmentally conscious, sustainable packaging has gone from being a 'nice to have' to a 'must have'. Eco-friendly packaging not only appeals to customers' values, but also reduces your brand's environmental impact. Integrating sustainable materials and practices into your packaging can differentiate your brand in a crowded market.Key Packaging and Labeling Trends for 2024Sustainable Packaging:Sustainability continues to be a high priority for both consumers and brands. In 2024, we can expect more companies to adopt biodegradable, compostable or recyclable materials for their packaging. Brands that invest in sustainable packaging solutions will not only meet consumer expectations but also contribute to the global effort to reduce waste.Minimalist and Functional Design:Minimalist design has been a growing trend in recent years, and it doesn't look to be slowing down.

In 2024, packaging will emphasize functionality and ease of use, with a focus on reducing unnecessary materials.Personalization and Customization:Personalized packaging is an effective way to enhance the customer experience and build brand loyalty. In 2024, more brands will use data-driven insights to create customized packaging that resonates with individual customers. This could include personalized messaging, special designs, or even packaging that reflects a customer's past purchases or preferences.Smart Packaging:Technology is increasingly being integrated into packaging, leading to a rise in smart packaging. This includes features such as QR codes, NFC tags and augmented reality (AR) experiences that provide additional information or interactive content. Smart packaging can enhance the customer experience by offering a seamless connection between the physical product and digital content.Bold and Creative Labeling:In 2024, we can expect more brands to experiment with bold and creative labeling to capture attention and differentiate their products. This could mean unique fonts, vibrant colors or interactive labels that engage customers. Creative labeling can make your product stand out on the digital shelf and encourage customers to choose your brand over the competition.Tips for effective packaging and labeling in e-commerceUnderstand your target audience:Your packaging and labeling should reflect the preferences and expectations of your target audience. Conduct market research to understand what your customers value in packaging-whether it's sustainability, luxury or simplicity-and adapt your design accordingly.Prioritize sustainability:Integrate environmentally friendly materials and practices into your packaging strategy. Use recyclable or compostable materials, reduce packaging waste, and consider the environmental impact of your packaging choices. Sustainability can be a key differentiator in a market where consumers are increasingly aware of their environmental impact.Focus on the unboxing experience:Create a memorable unboxing experience by adding special touches to your packaging. This can include branded tissue paper, thank you cards or small gifts. The goal is to make the unboxing process enjoyable and shareable, encouraging customers to promote your brand on social media.Ensure Clear and Correct Labeling:Labels should be clear, accurate and follow industry regulations. Include all necessary information, such as ingredients, instructions for use and safety warnings, in a format that is easy to read and understand. Transparency in labeling builds trust with your customers and ensures they have all the information they need to make informed decisions.Test and iterate:Before launching new packaging or labeling, conduct tests to ensure they meet your quality standards and resonate with your target audience.

The Power of Localizing Your E-commerce Store for the Swedish Market: The Key to Success

18 Dec 2025

Discover how localizing your e-commerce store for the Swedish market can boost your sales and customer satisfaction. Explore the benefits of adapting language, currency, and cultural preferences for different regions in Sweden and Scandinavia.Introduction: Why Localization Matters for Ecommerce in SwedenRunning an e-commerce store means more than just having an online presence. To really succeed, especially in the Swedish market, businesses need to adapt their stores to the specific needs and preferences of local customers. This is called localization, and it means adapting your e-commerce store to reflect the cultural, linguistic and economic conditions of the region where you operate.Sweden, with its high internet penetration and tech-savvy population, is one of Europe's most mature e-commerce markets. But to really maximize your success in this market, it's important that your e-commerce store feels relevant and appealing to Swedish consumers. In this blog, we'll explore the power of localization and how it can help you increase sales and customer satisfaction in Sweden and Scandinavia.The benefits of localizing your e-commerce storeLanguage customization for a better customer experienceOne of the most obvious ways to localize your e-commerce store is to offer content in Swedish. Using the customer's native language shows respect and understanding of their needs, which can lead to increased customer loyalty. In addition, customers are less likely to buy from a website if they don't understand the language or feel comfortable with it. Offering properly translated product descriptions, guides and customer support in Swedish can significantly improve the user experience and reduce the number of abandoned purchases.Currency alignment for Simplified ShoppingOffering prices in Swedish kronor (SEK) is crucial to creating a seamless shopping experience for Swedish customers. When customers see prices in their own currency, it reduces the risk of confusion and uncertainty around the exchange rate. It also eliminates any extra steps in the buying process, such as having to recalculate prices themselves. This can lead to an increased conversion rate as customers feel more confident about their purchasing decisions.Adapting to Cultural PreferencesEvery region has its own cultural norms and preferences, and Sweden is no exception. Understanding and respecting these cultural differences can have a big impact on how your brand is perceived. For example, it could mean adapting your marketing campaigns, images and product choices to better resonate with Swedish consumers. It could also mean offering popular Swedish payment options, such as Swish or invoice payment via Klarna, to create a more convenient and trustworthy shopping experience.Local SEO for increased visibilityBy optimizing your website for local SEO, you can improve your visibility on Swedish search engines and reach more potential customers. This means using Swedish keywords, local references and region-based content strategies. Local SEO not only helps your e-commerce store rank higher on search engines like Google, but it can also boost your credibility and attract a loyal customer base.Adapting for Regional DifferencesSweden is a diverse country with regional differences in both tastes and consumption patterns. For example, there may be different preferences in metropolitan regions compared to rural areas. By adapting your offer to these regional differences, you can better meet your customers' needs and increase your market share. This could mean offering different products, promotions or even language choices for different parts of Sweden.How Abicart Can Help You Localize Your E-commerce StoreAbicart is a platform designed to help businesses succeed in the Scandinavian market. Here's how Abicart can support your localization efforts:Multiple languages and currency options: Abicart makes it easy to offer your store in multiple languages, including Swedish, and handle payments in different currencies like SEK.Customizable templates: With Abicart, you can easily customize your store templates to reflect local preferences and cultural norms.Integration with local payment options: The platform supports integration with popular Swedish payment methods like Swish and Klarna, making it easy for your customers to pay the way they prefer.Local SEO optimization: Abicart offers tools and support to optimize your store for local SEO, helping you reach more Swedish customers online.Conclusion: Localization as a Competitive AdvantageLocalizing your e-commerce store is not just a technical adaptation, but a strategic advantage that can help your business grow and prosper in the Swedish market. By understanding and addressing the specific needs of Swedish consumers, you can create a more relevant and engaging shopping experience that leads to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.With Abicart as your partner, you have all the tools you need to succeed with your localization and take your e-commerce store to the next level in Sweden and Scandinavia.

Mastering Mobile Commerce in 2024: Essential Strategies to Optimize Your E-commerce Store for Mobile Success

18 Dec 2025

Discover why mobile commerce is growing in importance in 2024 and how to optimize your e-commerce store for mobile users. Learn practical tips, best practices and how Abicart can help you create a seamless mobile shopping experience.Introduction: the mobile commerce revolutionMobile commerce, often referred to as m-commerce, has quickly become a dominant force in e-commerce. With smartphones becoming an increasingly common part of everyday life, consumers are increasingly using mobile devices to search, compare and buy products online. In fact, studies show that mobile commerce is expected to account for almost 73% of all e-commerce by 2024. This shift presents both a challenge and an opportunity for e-commerce businesses: those that optimize their stores for mobile users will gain a significant competitive advantage.In this blog, we'll explore the importance of mobile commerce, discuss best practices for optimizing your ecommerce store for mobile users, and show how Abicart can help you create a mobile-friendly store that drives conversions.The Growing Importance of Mobile CommerceThe rise of mobile commerce can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing use of smartphones, the convenience of mobile shopping, and the growing acceptance of mobile payment solutions. For Scandinavian businesses, this trend is particularly important. The region is known for its high internet penetration levels and tech-savvy consumers, making it fertile ground for mobile commerce growth.But the shift to mobile is not just about having a responsive website. It's about creating a seamless, intuitive shopping experience that meets the expectations of today's mobile users. This means faster loading times, simplified navigation, and a user interface that feels natural on smaller screens.Why Mobile Optimization is Crucial for Your Ecommerce StoreIf your e-commerce store isn't optimized for mobile, you risk losing a significant portion of potential customers. According to Google, 53% of mobile users abandon a website that takes longer than three seconds to load. What's more, a poor mobile experience can negatively impact your brand's reputation and reduce customer loyalty.Mobile optimization isn't just about improving the user experience; it's also a critical factor for search engine ranking. Google uses mobile-first indexing, which means that the mobile version of your website is considered the primary version for ranking. Therefore, a non-optimized mobile site can lead to lower search engine rankings and reduced visibility.Best Practices for Mobile OptimizationResponsive DesignMake sure your website is built with a responsive design that automatically adapts to different screen sizes. This ensures that your website looks and works well on all devices, be it a smartphone, tablet or computer.Fast loading timesOptimize your website's performance by compressing images, leveraging browser caching and minimizing code. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights can help you identify areas for improvement.Simplified NavigationMobile users prefer simple, intuitive navigation. Use a clean layout with easy-to-press buttons and minimize the number of steps required to complete a purchase.Mobile-friendly checkout processStreamline the checkout process for mobile users by offering guest checkout, autofill forms, and supporting mobile payment options like Apple Pay and Google Pay.Optimized ContentMake sure your content is easy to read on smaller screens. Use shorter paragraphs, larger fonts and clear calls to action. Consider implementing AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) to improve loading times for content-rich pages.Test on Multiple DevicesRegularly test your e-commerce site on different mobile devices and browsers to ensure a consistent user experience. Consider using tools like BrowserStack to simulate different devices.How Abicart Can Help You Create a Mobile-Friendly Ecommerce StoreAt Abicart, we understand the critical importance of mobile optimization in today's ecommerce landscape.

18 Dec 2025

We are writing this post to address recent issues regarding the use of Google Analytics. In light of the recent decision of the Swedish Data Protection Authority (IMY) regarding the use of Google Analytics and data protection, we would like to assure you that we at Abicart, as our customers' data processor, always strive to ensure the integrity and security of your data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).Google Analytics is the most popular tool for analyzing website traffic among e-retailers and we have integrated support for it in our platform. We understand the importance of data integrity and take it seriously. Although it is the deprecated version of Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) that has been assessed by IMY, it is not legally determined whether the new version used in Abicart (Google Analytics 4) violates any part of the GDPR.We want to emphasize that Abicart does not transmit any personal information that can identify an individual to Google Analytics, either from our administrative system or through the Google Tag Manager used to send the information to Google Analytics. In order to comply with the GDPR's consent requirements, as well as the Electronic Communications Act (also known as the Cookie Act), we have implemented a consent management system, which ensures that data is only transferred to Google Analytics after the customer's explicit consent.Read more about the practices Abicart follows in the integration with Google: Best practices to avoid sending data that can be linked to a specific individual.Responsibilities of the shop ownerIn accordance with the GDPR, you as a shop owner are the ultimate data controller for the site's visitors.

We are committed to maintaining this trust and will continue to meet a high standard of data privacy and security.Those of you familiar with Google Analytics know what a powerful and useful tool it is for tracking and analyzing website traffic. We at Abicart are also aware that data privacy is a top priority, so we would like to inform you that, in light of the IMY's legal interpretation on the use of Google Analytics, we have begun a thorough and extensive investigation into alternative solutions.We are committed to finding an alternative that maintains the analytical depth that Google Analytics provides, while meeting and exceeding the data privacy requirements of the GDPR.If you have any questions or concerns about this topic, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Ekokul - from dream to successful e-commerce

18 Dec 2025

Niclas and Anna are the founders of the successful e-commerce business Ekokul. From dream to successful business, Niclas shares their exciting journey of building a successful e-commerce, the freedom of running a webshop and valuable tips for those who want to start their own webshop.What do you sell in your shop?Our original business idea was to offer organic and fair trade toys and baby products, so our customers were mainly parents with young children. We wanted to sell toys that would be the obvious choice over mass-produced plastic toys without a second thought. With increased awareness, our customers have broadened their demand for good goods in other product categories, so you could say that it is thanks to our customers that we can now offer goods in hygiene, health, cleaning, household etc. We are always grateful for our customers' feedback, who give us tips on items that are missing from the conventional trade. With the broadened range, we now have customers of all ages. Parents with older children continue to be loyal to us even when they are past the age of toys.Why did you decide to start an online shop?The idea for Ekokul was born in 2007. My wife Anna and I had always discussed different business ideas and had a dream of running our own business. When we realized that there was a gap in the market for organic and eco-friendly toys and children's products, we started working on launching a webshop. We looked at England, the USA and even Italy and found a number of products that became the first small range in the Ekokul webshop, which we launched in June 2008. How has your e-commerce developed since its inception?Turnover has remained at about the same level for all the years we have been doing e-commerce. We have chosen not to expand, but instead keep the company quite personal and small in order to maintain our own freedom, but also the feeling of a company that cares and takes care of its customers. The company has been and is a one-man business and what we cannot do ourselves we outsource. For example, another company takes care of our warehouse and packs our goods.In which countries do you sell your products?We started our sales in Sweden, but now we also have a Finnish and a Danish online store with customer service in both Finnish and Danish. Some sales also go to Norway, but this is not a market that we actively pursue.What made you choose Abicart as your e-commerce platform?When we started in 2008, there were not many Swedish e-commerce platforms to choose from. A survey of different platforms had given Textalk a good review and the price was also appealing. It was a perfect platform for a start-up company that didn't want to incur too many initial costs and where you could relatively easily create your own store by trial and error.What are the main challenges you faced in running an e-commerce business and how did you overcome them?Google is and has always been the biggest challenge. The rules of the game for SEO are constantly changing and the organic search results have been pushed further and further down by search and shopping ads. Getting conversions through organic searches has become more difficult and today we have to advertise significantly more to drive traffic to our webshop.How do you market your webshop?We have worked continuously with SEO and content marketing since the start, which has given us a healthy balance in our traffic mix. Organic traffic, bloggers and media attention have given us a lot of free traffic. We have worked with newsletters since the start and managed to build a really good customer database that still gives good dividends. We haven't engaged in analog advertising except for a few tests. When we were a start-up company, our business idea was quite unique and we got a lot of media attention which provided free marketing. Today, we market ourselves primarily through Google Shopping, but also some collaborations with bloggers and influencers. But the best marketing comes from our customers. It costs nothing and gives the best results. How have you dealt with competition in the market, and standing out from similar e-retailers?Competition has really intensified over the past 5 years and today there are several stores that have the same or similar business concept. In addition, the largest e-commerce companies have started selling several of the products that we were previously alone in marketing in our store. We have worked a lot with newsletters, social media and a fast and service-oriented customer service that really makes customers happy. Over the years, we have also built up a certain "trust" and been very concerned about customer relations and customer satisfaction. This means that customers buy from us again because they know that we do not sell just any items, but good things that we ourselves can stand for.What are the main advantages of running a webshop?Definitely the freedom to be your own boss and control your own time. It's difficult to get rich from a webshop, but the freedom that the work provides means much more than a high salary. You always have your work in your pocket on your mobile phone and can manage the webshop wherever you are in the world. There is no better job.How have you used feedback from customers and visitors to the webshop to improve the store and the customer experience?We get a lot of great and good feedback from our customers, but unfortunately we have been bad at showing this in our store. This is something we should get better at and market to new customers.Which subscription with us do you use and why?We use the PLUS subscription. We have had it almost every year. We have not benefited from PRO because we do not have connections to business systems.Which functions/integrations are important to you?The ability to use the same admin and item register for several different webshops in different languages. It would have been too difficult to administer several shops if the different languages had been in different admin systems.What future plans do you have for your webshop?In the long term, we need to do a facelift of the shop because it was a few years ago that we updated the design.What tips would you give to others who are thinking of starting a webshop?Think long-term and be persistent. Expect it to take at least 5 years to build a webshop that starts to generate profit. Do as much of the work as possible yourself in the beginning to keep costs down. Work actively with SEO, it pays off in the long run. Read up on SEO and do the work yourself, it will usually be both better and cheaper, Niclas concludes.Visit EkokulClick here and start your webshop - Free demo!

New law for rebates - what applies to your webshop?

18 Dec 2025

A new law will enter into force on 1 September 2022. The aim is to stop "fake sales", i.e. raising the price in advance of a sale, which makes the price cut seem bigger than it really is. It means that when shops advertise a price cut, the lowest price in the last 30 days must be shown for comparison.What does this mean for your shop in Abicart?In our system the field "extra price" needs to be filled in. If you have set an extra price, after September 1st we will automatically display a comparison price next to all extra prices. If the store reduces the price of products without filling in the "extra price" field, it will be displayed as a regular price change instead of a special reaprice. When a price reduction is gradual (e.g. during a promotion period), the price before the first price reduction will be used as the comparison price.The price comparison does not apply to:Personalised or customised prices Buy more - pay for less.Discount codes.Price reductions not promoted by the store.Read more about the new law:Sveriges Riksdag (Svenska) Article from Delphi (English) Svensk Handel (Svenska)

Succeeding with your B2B sales online

18 Dec 2025

We give you the tips!Succeeding as an e-tailer with private individuals is not always easy. Succeeding as an e-tailer with business customers can sometimes be even more difficult. But, does it have to be so complicated? B2C (business to consumer) e-commerce has exploded in recent years and we are shopping online more than ever before. On the business-to-business (B2B) side, it hasn't happened as fast - yet. But, with the habit of shopping online privately, more and more business owners expect to be able to do the same for work. This places both demands on you as a B2B trader and, of course, it also presents you with great opportunities.Move slowlyLaunching a full-scale B2B e-commerce business can of course feel a bit overwhelming, and there may not be the time or resources to do the whole job from the start. But, as online presence becomes increasingly important, it may be wise to at least start somewhere - albeit small-scale. Just because you have an e-commerce website doesn't mean you sell your goods or services through it, instead it can act as a shop window that showcases what you have to offer in a neat and tidy way. However, many web and CMS tools are not very suitable for displaying products in this way, often resulting in a jumble of images and text with no logical order. Moreover, it can look even worse if the page is visited via a mobile device. This is where it can really pay off to use a real e-commerce platform that is specialised for the purpose. With Abicart, you can get started quickly and easily, and you can choose how much you want to scale up. Of course, our platform is responsive, which means it works equally well whether you visit the site via computer, mobile or tablet.Segment your products and servicesAnother thing to keep in mind is that not everything you sell has to be in the online store. Perhaps you already have a large and loyal customer base for one type of product, but are struggling to reach out with another? Why not niche your online shop towards that particular product category and put some extra effort into reaching out to new customers? After all, one does not have to exclude the other. Or why not start with the products you actually sell the most of to try it out, learn from it and maybe scale up later?Different customers, different price lists?Maybe you have agreed prices with a customer that you don't want others to see? Or perhaps there are parts of your range that should not be visible to the general public but only to a certain type of customer? No problem! With Abicart, you can give your B2B customers access to specific parts of your range or specific price details through a customer login. By building a well-functioning e-commerce business, where your contract customers can manage their orders themselves and always get the right price, you can save time and money that you can spend on marketing, development or whatever you need. You customise what a logged-in customer can see versus what a guest sees when they visit your site. Each logged-in customer can also get their own customer number and see the history of previous orders, they can also follow up and track their pending orders.More search engine optimization!You probably already know that a big part of today's marketing is about getting as high as possible in the search results on Google. The concept of search engine optimisation, or SEO for short, is something you may already be familiar with - in short, it's about optimising your website for search engines. Play with the idea that your business sells gardening tools, including shovels of various kinds. Or play with the idea that you have a website that tells people who you are, what your opening hours are and how to find your physical shop. However, you don't have a specific e-commerce site, but at most a number of sample images showing the type of products you sell. If a person then googles the word "spade" - who do you think comes up at the top of Google? You, or your competitor who has an online shop with several products named "spade"? No matter how much effort you put into making a great web site where your company is highlighted in a nice way, the chances are that very few, if any, people who don't know you before will find you when they are looking for a spade. In short - invest in a web shop to strengthen your digital presence! Want to know more about how to search engine optimise your e-commerce? Read more here!The last tip - which you should start withBefore you start your B2B e-commerce business, you should figure out who you are. It may sound like an almost ridiculous task, but it's actually more important than you might think. It's one thing to have a strong brand for your physical store and for your existing customers, but isthat the right brand and identity for your digital presence? If it is - then make sure the brand permeates all your online communications so that customers are recognised and get the right feel. If it's not, you may need to get help to set your digital brand. Who do you want to be and how do you want to be perceived? What values do you need to push to reach new customers and gain ground online? Spend a little extra time doing the groundwork, plain and simple. Think of it as building a foundation to stand on. That way you'll avoid question marks along the way and you'll always have a clear framework to lean on in new situations. You may not know exactly what you need to do yet, but at least you know who you want to be and can adapt your work from there for the best possible results. This can be difficult to do entirely on your own so, if possible, take external help from a brand consultant or agency who can guide you in the right direction.

SGN Sport and Team Sportia - "The online store becomes a digital shop window"

8 Dec 2025

SGN Sport SGN Sport is a purchasing organization and specialists in the operation of sports and leisure stores. They offer all kinds of services that a sports store could possibly need and they work to free up valuable time for store owners and make sure they feel good. SGN Sport today has close to 250 affiliated stores around the country. One of the groups connected to SGN Sport is Team Sportia and today there are 55 stores in Sweden. Read more information about how SGN Sport works here. Team sportia Team Sportia was already created in 1989 when a large group met to merge the then Fri Team and Sportia. Then the future goal was to invest in team sports and the team. The slogan "Sports stores that raise the bar" echoed across Sports Sweden and today Team Sportia is one of Sweden's leading sports chains that focuses on outdoor training such as running, active leisure, and cycling. The chain is built on franchise stores, which means that the members have the opportunity to benefit from an already existing brand and a functioning business concept. Franchising is based on a collaboration between two independent parties where the members get access to a finished brand, marketing, central campaigns and economies of scale in purchasing. Maria Engman, Marketing Manager SGN Sport / Team Sportia, tells us more about their business:"The online store becomes a digital storefront that is open around the clock"What do you sell in your stores?Team Sportia is one of Sweden's leading sports chains that focuses on outdoor training such as cycling, running and training. We offer our customers everything they need to have an active leisure time.Why did you start a webshop in addition to your physical stores?We and the affiliated stores have continued to focus heavily on the physical store, but this does not mean that we ignore digital visibility. The online store will be a digital shop window that is open around the clock. And we know that many of us do our research online, before shopping in a physical store.SGN Sport has several central websites, one of them is teamsportia.se, which functions as a central marketplace. We drive traffic to this page, but once there, the customer chooses which local store he wants to shop from. If you click on a product on teamsportia.se, you get a list of which local stores sell the product online.Why did you choose Abicart as your e-commerce platform?We wanted a simple and user-friendly platform, with the possibility of external connections and a good, Swedish support function. The owners of the stores are often salespeople, economists, marketers, buyers and digital experts. Abicart suits most of our stores, as it is easy to manage their online stores.All stores in our group are independent, but we at SGN Sport have set up ready-made templates with layout, images and text to make it easier for the stores to get started. Together with SGN Sports and Abicart's onboarding team, it works really well, and you can be up and running in a couple of weeks.Do you have any tips for others who want to start an online store?Starting up the webshop is easy, the hard part is getting the routines right. Deliveries must not wait, customer matters must not be left lying around. It is important to ensure that the online store is filled and that the marketing is underway. I recommend finding a person in the store who can be responsible, and has the online store in focus. If the owner or store manager must also ensure this task, it is easy to lose momentum.Which subscription with us do you use and why?Now we have the Plus subscription, but when we are done with the implementation of our business system, we will switch to PRO.SGN SportTeam Sportia

AB Orax - "We want to simplify for our customers"

8 Dec 2025

Orax is a full-service supplier to cemetery administrations throughout Sweden. We manufacture and supply products to churches, crematoria, mortuaries, and hospitals, as well as refrigeration and freezer cells with associated equipment for handling coffins and stretchers. With our knowledge and experience, we help customers all the way from design to delivery and installation. We also offer training and service agreements to ensure the efficient use of the equipment. History of Orax It all started 80 years ago with Orvar Axelsson. He was a trained cabinetmaker and later also started manufacturing and selling bicycles in Vårgårda. He contacted a cemetery manager in Borås who asked if he, who made wheels, could also make a coffin trolley so that they didn't have to carry the coffins. And Orvar did. And the customer was satisfied. As a curious and enterprising entrepreneur, Orvar caught on to more needs in the churches. And more products were made at Orax in Vårgårda. Orvar's entrepreneurial spirit still characterizes the business in Vårgårda, where we continue to develop and manufacture the products. In an interview with Therese Vestberg, who works in marketing and sales at AB Orax, we learn more about their solid history:Therese arouses customers' interest with new products, instructions, and product knowledge.What do you sell in your shops?We have about 1,500 products in our webshop. Everything from our in-house made coffin handling trolleys for 200 000 SEK to cemetery signs for 10 SEK.

We want to simplify and make it easier for our customers, with orders, information, and knowledge.

Abicart was also linked to Visma which is our business system. Local partner and great support.What is the best thing about running your own business and online store?We used to have a webshop but now have more customers in the new one. The positive thing is that more and more people are ordering online and sales have increased. We get positive feedback from customers about how it is set up and easy to use.Do you have any tips for others who want to start a online store?Work with good, clear images and information about the products.Which of our subscriptions do you use?PRO.Visit Orax

Solhem Inredning - "I want to advise others to dare to try"

8 Dec 2025

In 2011, Erika and her brother Anders took over the business that their father started in 1982. They still have the same premises, warehouse and shop space as when they started, but over the years they have developed and changed the range of the business. When the business started up they sold textiles and corporate gifts to companies and at that time the premises were mainly an office space with a small exhibition area but over the years it has evolved into a retail space with a warehouse attached. Erika and Anders have a keen interest in interior design and when they took over the business they changed the range to focus more on interior design. With that change, they also started selling to private individuals instead of corporate customers and then they also started up an online store in addition to make it more accessible to their customers. Now, the small family-owned company has gone from a small showroom to a physical shop and online store with a wide range of designer furniture and interior design. We spoke to Erika Ullvin for more details:Solhem combines physical store and online storeWhat do you sell in your shop?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. The range and style is a celebration of the simple and beautiful - in a sustainable Scandinavian style. Danish design has a strong position in the range with brands such as Oliver Furniture, Hubsch, House Doctor, Madam Stoltz, Sika-Design and Nordal.Why did you start a webshop as an addition to your physical store?Our physical store is a bit off and tucked away 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 store and the focus was on the store, but over the past few years we have changed our focus and now 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 out 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 shop. Even though we have both an online store and a physical store, we are mainly focusing on marketing ourselves in the Stockholm area so that we can deliver the goods ourselves. So we strive above all to have a market in Stockholm and the surrounding area, but of course we have customers all over Sweden.Why did you choose Abicart as your e-commerce platform?When we were about to launch the webshop in 2011, I read that Abicart was an easy and cheap option and since you could try it for free, I did and I got 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.What is the best thing about running your own business and online store?The best thing about running your own business is that it's fun to work on what you enjoy. I find it very fun to work with our products. I like it when we get new collections so I get to add new pictures and write texts for everything on the website. I like that you get to choose what products to bring in and what to work on, it makes me very inspired and excited to go to work every day. Another good thing is that you can borrow the tasks that you find boring, which in my case is for example bookkeeping. You can also adjust how much you want to work at times by increasing or decreasing the amount of advertising. For example, we are closed during the summer from 28-30 and then we take a break from advertising. If we want to sell a lot of work during these periods, we advertise more and do more work.Do you have any tips for others who want to start an online store?I would like to advise others to dare to try, even if all the pieces of the puzzle are not quite ready. If you want to run a small business, you don't need to have everything ready from the start. Most things will work out along the way, everything doesn't have to be ready before you start up. Start small and grow as you go, make sure you don't bring in too many suppliers from the start and choose products that are of good quality or you'll end up with a lot of returns and complaints. It's very easy to incur a lot of costs so keep a lid on expenditure and do a lot yourself or make sure you know what the cost will be and that it's worth paying for the service.Which of our subscriptions do you use and why?We use the Plus subscription and it suits our business well, we have what we need. In addition to the subscription, we have bought design help which we were very happy with, it really looks the way we wanted it to look.Visit Solhem's lovely online store!

Baristashopen

8 Dec 2025

Freshly roasted coffee is so much better! Baristashopen is an independent supplier of freshly roasted date-marked coffee beans* We want to give everyone a better and fresher coffee experience, so we have chosen to specialise in supplying freshly roasted speciality coffee beans (note: never repackaged as this shortens the shelf life and freshness considerably). The shelf life of the coffee beans in unopened packaging is at least 9 months from the roasting date if you buy coffee from Johan & Nyström. Coffee from smaller roasters does not use nitrogen in its bags and that coffee is at its best if consumed within 3 months of the roasting date. Come and visit us often! We are always looking for really good organic fresh roasted coffee, tea and the best accessories. All coffee sold by Baristashopen is always fairly sourced. The majority of beans are also organically grown. *When the freshly roasted coffee is shipped from our premises, it is rare that more than 30 days have passed since the coffee beans were roasted. The shelf life of the coffee beans in unopened packaging is at least 9 months from the roasting date thanks to a unique technique of packing the beans in a protective atmosphere immediately after roasting, in an environment containing a maximum of 0.05% oxygen. This stops the ageing process to the maximum and is a huge improvement over previous packing techniques. If you order more than 300:- we will pay the shipping. Please note that Baristashopen sells whole coffee beans and you will need a grinder to grind them. The coffee and espresso machines and grinders we sell are of the highest quality and have been carefully tested by our test panel. We also offer a carefully tested selection of the best accessories on the market to help you succeed as a barista. The shop is continuously updated with new roasts and accessories. If you want to make sure you don't miss out when, for example, a "limited edition" coffee is added to the barista shop, then subscribe to our newsletter: Send an email to info(at)baristashopen.se and register your interest. Welcome to order!

Get started as a developer and contact Abicart about the API

6 Dec 2025

Find the API documentation and describe your integration to get help with the right part of the platform. This guide is for developers and store owners who want to connect an external system or build their own store frontend. The API is available for stores with an active Abicart subscription, including Go, Plus, and Pro. It does not automatically provide access to features or external services that the store lacks. 1. Start with a demo and the API documentation Create a free demo store if you first want to explore the admin and the platform's workflow. Available demo features and production agreements are not the same thing. Use separate test data and check what each call does before connecting to a live store. On Abicart's developer portal you will find an introduction, authentication, methods, objects, selection, and error handling. The API's main interface is JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP. You can call it from environments like PHP, .NET, or others that can send the documented calls; your integration does not need to be in the same programming language as the platform. 2. Distinguish between frontend, admin, and integration To change an existing theme's appearance: start with the theme's settings, HTML, and CSS. This does not mean that custom PHP or .NET code runs within Abicart's server environment.To build your own frontend: check the public API methods and how customer login, shopping cart, and ordering are handled.To manage orders, customers, or products administratively: use documented administrator authentication and the methods intended for the task. The API has both read and write methods. Never assume a connection is harmless just because you call it a test or use an AI tool. Administrator tokens can grant extensive permissions. Store them on a secure server, not in public HTML, JavaScript in the store, screenshots, or a regular support ticket. 3. Describe order events and AI connections concretely If you want to react to new or changed orders, distinguish between reading orders regularly via the API (polling) and receiving a push event. Polling requires correct selection, pagination, change handling, and protection against processing the same order multiple times. An API method for reading orders does not automatically mean there is a general webhook for any recipient. Describe which event you need, which system will receive it, and whether you need to read or modify data. This allows the correct integration path and any special event support to be checked for your specific solution. An AI tool that requires an MCP needs a compatible MCP connection or a special integration; the API documentation itself is not an MCP server or a promise of a ready-made connection. 4. Contact support with the right information Log in to the relevant store's admin and open the contact/customer service function in the user menu. You can also contact hello@abicart.se. Provide: Store ID and whether it concerns a demo or production environment.What you want to achieve and which external system is to be connected.Whether the question concerns a theme, the API, order events, permissions, or an existing integration.The relevant method name, time, error code, and a minimal example with test values, without personal data or secrets. If the question concerns migration to Abicart, describe the current platform, what data needs to be moved, and which external connections must work. Distinguish this from an API error that has already occurred. Quick start Explore the demo and the developer portal.Choose the right path: theme customization, custom front end, or administrative integration.Check authentication and which calls perform write operations.Contact support with the store ID and a specific, anonymized problem. Subscription and responsibility The API is available with an active Abicart subscription. Features, external services, and custom adaptations may have separate requirements or agreements. The developer needs to handle security, test data, and error handling in their own solution.

Market-specific payment and shipping methods

28 Nov 2025

Successfully expanding your e-commerce business into new markets requires offering local customers the payment and shipping options they know and trust. Abicart provides the flexibility to tailor your checkout experience to meet the precise needs of each country and customer segment.Customized Payment Experience With Abicart, you gain granular control over which payment methods are available based on the customer's location and preferred currency. This capability is essential for maximizing conversion rates in international sales. Per-Country Restriction: For every payment solution you implement, such as Stripe, Nets Easy, or various checkout providers like Klarna and Svea, you can specify the exact countries where it should be offered (or explicitly excluded). This ensures, for example, that country-specific payment options like Swish are only shown to customers in Sweden. Currency Control: If your shop supports multiple currencies, you can restrict a payment method to only be available when a specific currency is selected. This allows you to manage different payment provider agreements effectively. Multi-Channel Providers: Certain payment solutions (e.g., Klarna Checkout, Nets Easy, Svea Checkout) are flexible enough to be set up multiple times within your Abicart admin, using the same account keys but limiting each instance to a specific country and currency combination. This provides a clean, localized look in the checkout. By only presenting relevant payment choices, you reduce friction at checkout, increase trust, and improve the likelihood of a completed purchase. Flexible Shipping Configuration Delivery options are just as critical as payment methods. Abicart allows you to create detailed shipping methods and tariffs that adapt based on the final shipping destination. Country-Specific Tariffs: When you create a shipping method, you define tariffs (rates) that specify the cost based on weight ranges. You can then link these individual tariffs to specific countries, country blocks (like EU countries), or even specific postal codes. Integration with TMS: Integrations with Transport Management Systems (TMS) such as nShift, Postnord TA, or Shipmondo further enhance this capability by allowing for flexible rate calculation and label creation. For instance, Shipmondo supports the creation of shipping templates that factor in sender country, delivery country, weight ranges, and package dimensions. Advanced Delivery Options: For seamless local delivery point selection, services like Klarna Shipping Assistant (KSA) can display external TMS delivery options directly in the checkout window, complete with tracking and service point selection for customers in supported markets. Customizing your payment and shipping offerings is essential for international success. Abicart's platform offers the tools you need to ensure your store feels local to every customer, no matter where they are shopping from.

Sales and inventory statistics and reports

28 Nov 2025

Abicart provides robust features for collecting and utilizing sales and inventory data, giving you the insights needed to manage your online shop effectively. Accurate data helps you make informed decisions about your product range, marketing efforts, and overall business strategy.Order and Sales Data All orders placed in your shop are listed under the "Orders" section in the admin interface. You can customize which columns of information are displayed to tailor the view to your needs. Key features for data analysis and management include: Filtering and Searching: Easily search for orders by dates, payment methods, countries, or specific order numbers to find exactly the data you need. This allows for quick insights into sales trends or specific customer behaviors. Exporting Orders: Orders can be exported to a text file (CSV or SKV format) for use in other systems or for advanced analysis. You can export all orders or a filtered selection, such as orders within a specific date range. Abandoned Carts: The "Abandoned carts" feature lists orders that customers started but did not complete, provided they entered an email address. This information can be filtered by time period (day, week, month) and can be used for follow-up marketing initiatives. Inventory Management and Monitoring Effective inventory tracking is essential for keeping products available and ensuring a smooth customer experience. Abicart offers tools to monitor and manage your stock, helping to prevent overselling and streamline restocking efforts. Stock Balance: You can enable inventory management and set the stock balance for your products and their variants. This information can be displayed to customers on the product page. Low Stock Alerts: Set up email alerts when a product's stock falls below a specified limit, ensuring you are notified when it is time to reorder or restock. Product Monitoring: Customers can monitor out-of-stock products if the feature is enabled. When the product is restocked, an automatic email notification is sent to all interested customers, helping to capture lost sales opportunities. You can track these watches in the admin interface. Integration with External Systems To centralize business intelligence and accounting, Abicart offers integrations with various external ERP and financial systems. These integrations automatically synchronize orders, customer data, and product information (including stock and price updates) between your online shop and your business management software. Accounting/ERP Systems: Integrations are available for platforms like Visma, Fortnox, and Björn Lundén's Administration to seamlessly transfer orders and product data for streamlined accounting and reporting. POS Systems: Integration with POS systems like Northmill Flo (formerly MoreFlo) allows for seamless synchronization of stock changes from in-store sales back to your webshop inventory, ensuring consistent stock levels across all sales channels. By leveraging these built-in and integrated features, you gain a clear overview of your sales performance and operational efficiency, empowering you to scale your e-commerce business confidently.

Google Tag Manager (GTM) integration

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a powerful tool that simplifies the management and deployment of all your website tracking tags, without requiring you to manually edit your shop's code every time. This integration is designed to give you greater flexibility and control over your marketing and analytics efforts.By implementing GTM, you gain a central platform where you can easily handle tags for: Analytics: Deploy Google Analytics 4 (GA4) or other measurement codes. Advertising: Integrate conversion tracking for platforms like Google Ads and Facebook. Marketing: Add tags for remarketing, heatmaps, surveys, and other third-party tools. Whether you choose to use the simple Global Site Tag (gtag.js) for basic setup or the more advanced GTM for centralized management, Abicart supports both methods. [cite_start]GTM is often preferred for its flexibility, centralized control, version management, and ease of updating tags without modifying your source code[cite: 1803, 1805]. Abicart supports a modern data layer for enhanced e-commerce tracking, providing granular detail on customer behavior to Google Tag Manager for both Universal Analytics and GA4. [cite_start]This includes events such as viewing a product, adding an item to the cart, beginning checkout, and completing a purchase[cite: 1844, 1857, 1858, 1860, 1862]. This data layer allows you to gain comprehensive insights into your sales funnels and product performance. For Abicart Pro users, integration is streamlined, often only requiring you to paste your GTM ID into the theme settings. [cite_start]For Go and Plus users, code snippets can be added via the "Custom content in HEAD" feature[cite: 1802, 1804]. Leverage the GTM integration to maximize the data flowing from your Abicart store to your analytics and advertising platforms, ensuring that your campaigns are accurately measured and optimized.

Customer groups and segmentation

28 Nov 2025

Abicart's customer group feature offers a powerful way to organize your customer base and tailor the shopping experience to different segments, which is particularly valuable for businesses operating in both B2C and B2B markets.By leveraging customer groups, you can easily implement customized strategies that cater to specific needs, ensuring maximum relevance and conversion for each customer type. Key Capabilities with Customer Groups Customized Product Assortment: You can select which products are displayed to logged-in customers belonging to a specific group, allowing you to create restricted or specialized product ranges, such as a dedicated catalog for wholesale clients or B2B customers. Unique Pricing and Price Lists: The system allows you to link different price lists to specific customer groups. This is essential for maintaining distinct pricing structures for retailers, wholesalers, or preferred partners compared to standard private customers. Tailored Payment Methods: Control which payment options are available at checkout for each group. For instance, you might enable "Invoice" or other business-centric payment methods only for your approved corporate clients, while keeping standard options for the public. Targeted Discounts and Promotions: Discounts can be restricted to specific customer groups, enabling you to run exclusive promotions, loyalty programs, or trade-specific sales without exposing them to all visitors. Controlled Access: For B2B or members-only shops, you can require customers to log in to view prices or place orders, keeping your trade-exclusive information private. You can also manage new customer registration, either allowing automatic sign-up into a default group or requiring manual approval by an administrator. This flexible segmentation ensures that every customer receives an experience relevant to their status, which is a vital component for building long-term business relationships and maximizing the potential of both your B2C and B2B channels.  

Upselling and cross-selling in the checkout

28 Nov 2025

Maximize your average order value directly at the point of purchase by strategically presenting related and suggested products in the checkout process.Abicart supports a crucial e-commerce strategy known as upselling and cross-selling through its Related Products feature, which is included in the **Plus** and **Pro** subscriptions. This feature allows you to display highly relevant product recommendations to your customers, such as "Accessories" or "Others also bought," either at the bottom of the product page or when a product is added to the cart. By defining and configuring manually selected lists of related items, you ensure that customers are exposed to complementary products that enhance their purchase, boosting both conversion and sales volume directly through your existing traffic. The flexibility to define these relationships ensures every customer is presented with timely, relevant suggestions right when they are ready to complete their purchase.

Custom payment methods and manual invoices

28 Nov 2025

Abicart offers flexibility in payment processing by allowing you to add your own custom payment methods, which can include managing invoices manually or integrating a pre-payment option.Invoicing on Your Own Terms For businesses that prefer to handle their own invoicing outside of a major checkout provider, Abicart offers a dedicated **"Your own invoice"** payment method. This payment option is designed for stores that generate and send invoices using their own financial or business management system, not within the shop itself. When setting up this method, you use the "Detailed description" field to clearly communicate to the buyer how to pay, including bank account or BankGiro details and applicable payment rules. It is a completely manual process on your end—Abicart does not automatically create or send the invoice. "Own Payment Method" for Full Customization Beyond a dedicated invoice option, you can add a generic **"Own payment method"**. This is ideal for any manual payment process, serving as a flexible tool for various custom arrangements. Similar to manual invoicing, you utilize the detailed description field to inform the customer of the necessary payment steps, such as bank transfer details. Key Configuration Features All custom and manual payment methods include comprehensive settings to ensure they fit seamlessly into your business operations: Visibility: You control whether the method is active and visible in the checkout. Customer Targeting: Define precisely which customer types (private or business) or specific customer groups can use the payment method. Order Restrictions: You can set limits to ensure the payment method is only offered if the order total falls within a specific monetary range. Fees and Description: Easily add a handling fee to the purchase or modify the name and provide a detailed description that explains how the method works. While managing payments yourself provides control, leveraging Abicart's integrations with full-service checkout solutions like Klarna or Svea may be a more convenient alternative, as they assume all credit and fraud risk and automate the invoicing process.

Express checkout: faster purchase flow

Single- or Few-Step Process: The design condenses the checkout into one page or a minimal number of steps, eliminating the series of forms common in traditional checkouts. Multiple Payment Options: Checkout solutions typically include a comprehensive range of popular payment methods, such as invoice, partial payment, card payment, and Swish, within a single interface, catering to diverse customer preferences. Security and Trust: These checkouts integrate directly with secure payment gateways and often use established payment providers like Klarna Checkout V3, Nets Easy, Svea Checkout, and PayPal Checkout Express to ensure a secure transaction environment. By leveraging Abicart's partnerships with modern payment providers, you equip your store with a fast, secure, and user-friendly purchase flow that is optimized for today's customer expectations.

Connect your own SMTP server for your store's email

27 Nov 2025

Send your store's emails through your own email provider with the correct authentication, encryption, and allowed sender. This guide is for administrators in Go, Plus, and Pro who have access to Settings → Email and an SMTP account or a provider-approved IP relay. The store's theme does not affect the connection. Abicart's built-in email server is the default; using your own SMTP is an option. 1. Check that the provider supports the connection Abicart's connection can use a username/password (SMTP LOGIN) or the explicit choice None – the server accepts our IP. Encryption is a separate choice. This connection does not offer a built-in OAuth/XOAUTH2 login flow. Username/password: both need to be correct and allowed for SMTP by the provider. A preset is no guarantee of the account's policy.Gmail: use an app password if the account supports it, not the regular account password. Two-step verification must be enabled and the account's policy must allow app passwords.Microsoft 365/Outlook: check that SMTP AUTH and password-based SMTP are actually allowed for the tenant and mailbox. An old preset or a general deprecation date does not prove access. If the provider requires OAuth, you cannot replace this with a regular password in Abicart.None/IP relay: only use when the provider has explicitly approved Abicart's sending servers for relaying. Do not open a public relay or turn off encryption to solve an authentication error. 2. Fill in the server settings Open Settings → Email.Under Email server settings → Email provider, select a suitable preset or Custom SMTP settings.Check all values against the provider's current instructions, including pre-filled values. FieldWhat to enterHostThe provider's SMTP host, not the store's web domain unless it is also the correct mail server.Port and encryptionThe combination specified by the provider, for example 465 with SSL/TLS or 587 with STARTTLS. The port and encryption must match.AuthenticationUsername/password or an explicitly approved None/IP relay. None hides the account fields but does not control encryption.UsernameThe provider's account name, often the full email address.PasswordSMTP/app password according to the account's policy. Do not share it in support messages or screenshots.SenderAn address that the account or relay is allowed to send as. Also check order confirmations and other specific sender fields. Example: Google's SMTP host is smtp.gmail.com. Select the port/encryption according to Google's current SMTP instructions and use an app password when required. Do not use a regular Gmail password as a general solution. Create a Google app password if the account allows it Open your Google Account's security settings and check two-step verification.Open Google's current instructions for app passwords. If the option is missing, the account's organization or security settings may be preventing the feature; do not lower security to make it appear.Create an app password with a name that identifies Abicart. Google will show a 16-character password; it is not a numeric one-time code.Enter it in Abicart's password field and save the settings. Keep it secret and revoke it in Google when the connection is no longer needed. The existing screenshots show examples of Google's security flow. Names and placement may change; follow the current Google instructions and your account's policy. 3. Save and check the email Save the changes.Under Test server settings, enter a recipient you are allowed to send to and select Send. This sends an actual test email.Check the reception, sender, and any rejection information. A successful SMTP test is not proof for every order email or all recipients' spam filters.If SMTP is no longer to be used, select Abicart's email server and check the sender domain's SPF/DKIM/DMARC for the new sending path. Troubleshoot connection and delivery Authentication failed: check the account name, correct SMTP/app password, SMTP AUTH policy, and that the account is allowed to send as the selected address. Both username and password are required for LOGIN.534-5.7.9 or app password required: follow the Google section and check that the account actually allows the feature.Connection error/timeout: check the host, port, TLS/STARTTLS, and the provider's availability. Do not switch to unencrypted as a default action.Test arrives but order emails are missing: check the correct order and recipient, the specific sender fields, spam folder, and the provider's rejections. A successful test does not resend old order emails.SPF/DKIM/DMARC error: follow the actual SMTP provider's instructions for the domain. Adding Abicart's SPF does not automatically resolve another provider's authentication. The store's SMTP settings are also used for newsletters. Check that the provider permits both the actual sender addresses and the intended sending volume. A successful test message does not prove that a larger campaign or all order messages will be delivered. If the provider requires OAuth, this connection does not support that login flow; choose a compatible sending route without weakening account security. Quick startConfirm that the provider allows Abicart's authentication method and sender.Select the SMTP provider and check the host, port, encryption, and account details.Save and send a successful test email to your own recipient.Check actual reception and correct any connection or domain errors. Subscription and accessThe email server settings apply to Go, Plus, and Pro. The email provider's account, agreement, and security policy determine which login methods and senders you can use. No specific theme is required.

27 Nov 2025

Please note that this fixed discount only applies to each individual product in the shopping basket. It does not discount the total amount.

GA4 in Google Tag Manager: events, variables, and purchase verification

27 Nov 2025

With Google Tag Manager (GTM), you can send product views, cart events, and purchases from Abicart to Google Analytics 4 (GA4). GA4 and GTM are available in Go, Plus, and Pro. Start with a connected GTM container and check which events your active theme actually sends, so that the correct data reaches GA4 and the same purchase is not registered twice. Before you beginThis guide is about events and variables, not about installing the same tracking again. GTM-… identifies the GTM container. G-… is a measurement ID for GA4. The fact that an ID is saved in Abicart does not in itself show that the correct container and purchase tag are running. See create and connect a GTM account for the connection and add GA4 for GA4 settings. Theme families and older theme versions can send different structures. Therefore, do not use a specific version number as a guarantee for all themes. Ask support to check the support in your active theme if the events below are missing. Also check the store's consent settings and Google's tag settings. An event in the data layer does not prove consent or delivery to GA4. Map only the parameters required for the current event; do not send the entire data layer object automatically.Do not send email addresses, phone numbers or other directly identifying customer data as ordinary GA4 event parameters, in page URLs or in custom dimensions, even when the customer has consented to tracking. Dedicated user-data features require a separate, correct configuration. Use only one verified purchase flow for the same order and reconcile item value excluding tax and shipping, tax and shipping separately. 1. Read the events in GTM Preview Open the correct container in GTM and start Preview for the store's address. Use the store and theme that are to be measured. View a product, add it to the cart, and open the checkout. Select each event in Tag Assistant and read both Data Layer, Variables and the tags that have fired. Check the event for that specific action. An old value that remains from a previous event should not be used as proof of a new purchase. Only check the purchase step with a planned test flow and a payment environment that you are allowed to use. A real purchase can charge, reserve money, and affect inventory. Event in the data layerWhen it's usedWhat to check view_itemA product page is viewed.Correct product in ecommerce.items, currency, and price basis for the theme. add_to_cartAn item is added to the cart.Which item and quantity the event refers to; do not assume that an order ID already exists. begin_checkoutThe checkout process begins.The cart's contents and value.

The event name does not guarantee a modern ecommerce object. 2. Create variables with the full pathecommerce is an object. ecommerce.items is a list of product objects. Create data layer variables in GTM with the exact path for the event you have checked, for example ecommerce.currency. Do not just use currency when the value is inside the object. PathType and meaning ecommerce.currencyCurrency code, for example SEK. ecommerce.itemsList of items. Send the entire list as the GA4 parameter items. ecommerce.items[].item_id, item_name, price, quantityThe product's identifier, name, unit price, and quantity. [] describes each item in the list; do not enter the square brackets as a GTM path to a single variable. ecommerce.transaction_idUnique order ID as a string for a purchase. Do not create a made-up order ID for a product view. ecommerce.valueItem value for the structured purchase event, excluding VAT and shipping. ecommerce.tax, ecommerce.shippingThe order's VAT amount and its shipping cost excluding VAT, respectively. Both are separate from the item value. ecommerce.totaltransactionValueSupplementary total including VAT in the structured purchase flow. This is not the same value as GA4's value. For product views and beginning checkout, prices may follow different VAT settings than the purchase event. Check the actual event before reusing the same price variable in all tags. Missing fields should be troubleshooted; do not replace a missing order ID or item value with an older value that happens to be in the data layer. 3. Connect the event to a GA4 tag Create the data layer variables you need in GTM. Select Data Layer Variable, enter the full path, and check the value in Preview for the correct event. Create a custom event trigger with the exact event name, for example purchase. Connect it to the intended GA4 event tag and the correct Google tag/measurement ID. Send the parameters that correspond to the event. For purchases, parameters such as transaction_id, currency, value, tax, shipping and items are relevant. Check if the container sends ecommerce data automatically or via manual parameter mappings. Do not let two different purchase tags send the same order. Test in Preview and check the received parameters in GA4's DebugView. Only publish when the result is correct. purchase and the older purchase_GA4 are different data sources The structured purchase event has purchase data in ecommerce. The older purchase_GA4 flow may instead contain transactionId, transactionProducts, currencyCode, cartCost, transactionTotal, transactionTax, transactionShipping, paymentFee and totalIncVat. These are not automatically the same GTM paths as in the table above. If the older flow is used, the mapping needs to be checked specifically: cartCost refers to the item value excluding VAT, while transactionTotal can also include other costs. The product list format also needs to match GA4's items. Standalone fields like articleId, articleNumber, name, articleName, articlePrice and orderItem can appear in older events. They are not necessarily present on every page or event. Do not connect both purchase and purchase_GA4 to separate GA4 purchase tags for the same order. If you need to switch from an older mapping, check existing tags and test the switch before turning off the old flow. Example: check the amountsA simplified test order without a discount or payment fee has two items at SEK 100 each excluding VAT, shipping at SEK 40 excluding VAT, and 25 percent VAT on everything. Then the item value is 200, shipping is 40, VAT is 60, and the total is SEK 300. This illustrates why value should not be set to the entire total including VAT and shipping. Check actual discounts, fees, and VAT rates against your own test order. {"event":"purchase","ecommerce":{"transaction_id":"TEST-1001","currency":"SEK","value":200,"tax":60,"shipping":40,"items":[{"item_id":"TEST-01","item_name":"Testprodukt","price":100,"quantity":2}]}} Also check a reload of the same test receipt. The order should keep the same transaction_id; do not create a new ID per page view. Compare received purchases, not just the number of events in the data layer. Include discounts, multiple VAT rates, shipping, and any payment fees in the test cases. The item value, shipping, VAT, and total are different amounts and must be mapped to the correct parameters. Troubleshoot and check the resultSymptomNext check Wrong or old GTM ID is loadedCheck the correct store, active theme, saved ID, and published container. Investigate duplicate installations and any cache before adding another script. The event exists but the variable is emptySelect the correct event and read the structure there. Check the full path and whether the event uses the modern or older purchase format. GA4 shows too high a value or duplicate purchasesCompare value, VAT basis, and shipping with the order. Check how many purchase tags are firing and that the same unique transaction_id is used for the same order. Nothing reaches GA4First check the data layer, then the trigger, fired tag, measurement ID, consent, and DebugView. A data layer event alone does not prove delivery to GA4. When contacting support: specify the store, active theme, GTM ID, event name, time, and an anonymized example of the missing fields. Do not send customer data or payment data. For Google's recipient format, see Google's guide for GA4 ecommerce. Quick startCheck that the correct GTM container is loaded in the correct store and that the intended container version is published.Follow product → cart → checkout in GTM Preview and read the data layer for each event.Use purchase with its ecommerce object when that structure exists. Do not confuse it with the older event purchase_GA4.Reconcile the order ID, currency, item value, VAT, and shipping against an agreed-upon test order. Check for a single purchase report before publishing changed tags. Subscription and accessGA4 and GTM are available in Go, Plus, and Pro. A connected GTM container, the correct Google account, a supported active theme configuration, and correct consent settings are also required. The guide covers events and variables; it does not replace checking the store's existing tracking.

Fortnox: connection, direction, inventory, and order export

27 Nov 2025

The Fortnox integration transfers products, customers, and orders between Abicart and Fortnox. The connection is available in Abicart Pro, where one selected ERP system integration is included. You also need the right Fortnox plan and permissions. First, decide which system controls inventory, prices, and customer data; then, only activate the flows you need. Check for unique item numbers, currencies, and which system owns each piece of data before you connect.Distinguish between importing to Abicart and exporting to Fortnox. 'Import inventory balance only' and 'Export inventory balance only' do different things.Configure what each payment method should create in Fortnox and when the order should be exported.Test one item and one order according to your approved test plan. Check the content, payment status, and inventory before transferring the entire product range. Get started in the right orderEnsure you have Pro, an activated integration, and Fortnox permissions. Check for a backup/export of existing data before a large transfer.Open Settings > External Connections > Fortnox and connect the correct Fortnox company. Follow the connection images in the details section.Choose which system controls inventory and the direction for product, price, and customer data. Match special items for shipping, discounts, and other payments.Choose the resource type and accounting/payment handling for each payment method. Check accounts, price lists, and delivery/payment terms with the person responsible for finances.Activate the intended events and execution modes. Check a limited result in both systems before the initial export of all items. Choose direction and ownerFlowDirection and important check Product exportAbicart → Fortnox. Can create items and overwrite names, prices, active status, and other exported fields. Limitations are described below. Product importFortnox → Abicart. Choose which fields can be retrieved and activate the import job separately. Order exportAbicart → Fortnox. The payment method's resource type and the order's status determine what should be created and when. Price lists and customersSeparate import/export settings. A limited product export does not automatically stop a separate price export or customer import. Choose one system to control inventory. If Fortnox controls it, sales excluded from order export also need a coordinated way to update its stock levels. If Abicart controls inventory, corrections must originate there. The 'Both' mode should not be used as a general shortcut; simultaneous changes and delayed transfers require special handling. Inventory only: import and exportImport inventory balance only limits the product import from Fortnox to Abicart. It does not send any balances to Fortnox and does not start the import without an active import job. Export inventory balance only limits the update of existing stock items in Fortnox when Abicart exports. The option applies to setups without Fortnox Inventory and where Fortnox does not control inventory. If the setting is missing, check the setup with support. The limitation does not mean that a new item will receive only a stock balance: an item missing in Fortnox must first be created with item data. Non-stock items and other active jobs also need to be assessed separately. Check both an existing and a new item before using the setting for a larger product range. Distinguish an order excluded from export from an unposted invoiceIf Type of resource in Fortnox for a payment method is Ignore that order should not be exported via this selection. If the resource type is instead Invoice but Payment method in Fortnox is set to Ignore the invoice can be created without being posted. These are two different decisions. Also check whether the payment should be registered or only the invoice posted. Connection and settings in detailThings to consider before you activate the integration Integration with Fortnox is included in the Abicart Pro subscription (One ERP system integration is included) All products and each variant in the customer's choice need a unique item number and name. Check that the same number is used in both systems and that the characters are accepted by all connected systems. Do not change already used item numbers on a large scale without a coordinated plan.Remember to activate the store's active currencies in Fortnox. If a currency is not activated in Fortnox, we cannot export an order placed in that currency. If you have variants (customer's choice), they must be created in the store first and then exported to Fortnox for the sync to work. It is not possible to export variants from Fortnox to the store the first time. Activate the Integration license in Fortnox To connect Fortnox with Abicart, the Integration program license must be activated in Fortnox. If you don't already have the Integration license, you need to add it. Here's how: Log in to your account in Fortnox. Click on 'Administer users' as shown in the image below. Activate the Integration license. Connect the store to Fortnox Under Settings -> External Connections -> Fortnox, you will find the settings for Fortnox.The first thing you need to do is connect your store with your company in Fortnox. Click the link shown in the image below: Then log in to Fortnox with your Fortnox login credentials. When this is done, it will say Connection + the company name, as well as a link to log out. Settings in Abicart Create items in Fortnox The next step is to create three items in Fortnox. These will be linked to shipping fees, discounts, and other payment methods. Enter the exact same item numbers in the three corresponding integration fields. For example, the item numbers shown in the image. It is also possible to specify a specific shipping item for each delivery method.Settings -> Shipping -> select delivery method, edit -> Fortnox Item export Export all items on next eventCheck the box + save if you want to export the entire product range at the next event. This setting exports the entire product range once and overwrites the information on the products in Fortnox (if the information differs). If you want to export products continuously when they are created/edited in Abicart, activate the event setting "Export item on add/change". Include customer choice in item nameIf you have items with customer's choice, each variant will be exported to Fortnox as a separate item. To be able to tell the difference between all variants, you should check this box, which adds the variant's name after the main item's name. Deselect webshop products for products hidden in AbicartWhen a hidden item is exported, it is deselected as a "webshop item" in Fortnox. Important! Do not set any product sales accountsA setting to not set any product sales accounts on the products in Fortnox. If this box is checked, we do not specify sales accounts on items in Fortnox but only set the sales account on the order/invoice in Fortnox. If you use a different sales account for the products in Fortnox than the one you specified in Abicart, it is important to check this box before activating the integration. Use item number as identifierIf the product range already exists in both Abicart and Fortnox, the matching needs to be configured so that the correct products are linked. With this selection, the item number is used for identification. Check for unique and identical numbers in both systems before the first export. If the products were first created in Abicart and then exported, existing connections can be used.Item import Webshop items onlyThe import only retrieves items that are marked as "webshop items" in Fortnox. Import inventory balance onlyThis setting ensures that only the inventory balance is imported from Fortnox.  Do not import product nameThis setting ensures that all properties are imported for the products except for the product name.  Note that you also need to activate the "Product import" event setting. Just checking one of these boxes is not enough to activate product import. Inventory management To prevent the systems from getting out of sync, choose which system will control inventory. We recommend that you choose either Abicart or Fortnox; not both. Customer export Set customer number in external systemThis setting causes the customer to be transferred from the customer registry in Abicart to Fortnox with the same customer number (own customer number) that the customer has in Abicart.If this box is not checked, Fortnox will create its own customer number.  Activate custom mapping for customer fieldsSet the priority for customer mapping by customer number, email, or organization number in the lists below.  Order export Set order date to date of exportThe date on the order in Fortnox is set to the date the order is transferred from Abicart to Fortnox. If unchecked, the date will be the same as the date the order was registered in Abicart. You can choose to transfer an order to Fortnox when: The order is registered in Abicart When the order is marked as paid in Abicart. When the order is marked as delivered in Abicart. Options 2 and 3 mean that the order can be transferred to Fortnox at a later date than when it was registered in Abicart. Change delivery status to "delivered"The order status in Fortnox is set to delivered even if it is not flagged as delivered in Abicart. If unchecked, the delivery status in Fortnox will be the same as in Abicart. Do not reference items in external systemsIf this box is checked, the products in the order are not linked to the item registry in Fortnox. This means, among other things, that Fortnox will not count down the stock quantity. Export content of bundle itemsIf the box is checked, the contents of bundle products are "expanded", i.e., the products included in the bundle will be on the order in Fortnox. If the box is not checked, only the bundle product will be included in Fortnox (not the products included in the bundle). Resource type in Fortnox Select the resource type in Fortnox for each payment method.  Choose how the order should be created in Fortnox when it is transferred from Abicart: "Invoice", "Cash Invoice", "Invoice paid by credit card", "Order", or "Offer".Depending on how the order in Abicart is paid, you can choose whether to create an Invoice or a Cash Invoice (which does not necessarily have to be paid with cash; it can be, for example, with a credit card).Here is an example from a store with four payment methods: card payment, Swish, Ecster installment payment, and Invoice. Email messages The settings above are for if you want to send emails from Fortnox. Accounting accounts Under Sales and operating income accounts specify the accounting accounts for sales depending on whether you are selling a product or a service, and which VAT rate applies. If you use the Standard BAS chart of accounts, it could look like this: Price list Settings for selecting the default price list to be used and for syncing specific price lists in Abicart with price lists in Fortnox.  Payment terms Settings for specifying payment terms for new customers and specifically for each payment method.  Payment methods in Fortnox Setting to activate "Register invoice payments per payment method". There is also a setting for how each payment method should be recorded and/or linked to a specific account in Fortnox.  Delivery terms Settings for selecting "Default delivery terms for new customers". Delivery methods in Fortnox Settings for selecting the default delivery method for new customers. Event settings Under the "Event settings" heading, you activate what should be exported/imported. For "activation", there are three settings:  xxx is registered xxx is paid xxx is shipped For "execution", there are two options: Inactive Update immediately The most common choice is "registered" and "Update immediately". This will cause orders/products/customers/price lists to be updated immediately when they are created/changed. Note that you must select an option for both Activation and Execution. If one of them is left as "Inactive", the event setting is not activated. Export order - Here you specify what should happen when an order is registered in Abicart. In our example, we specify that as soon as the order is registered in Abicart, it should be transferred to Fortnox (it may take a minute even if it says Update immediately). Custom logic is an advanced setting. Only change it in consultation with the person responsible for your integration. It is not needed for a standard connection. Fortnox API documentation is a technical reference for an agreed-upon special integration. Export product on add/change transfers products from Abicart to Fortnox. Check which data the export is allowed to change. Do not simultaneously activate an opposite product import that writes back the same data without an explicit plan for who owns the name, price, and stock. Product import retrieves product information from Fortnox to Abicart according to the selected schedule. The import limitations control which data is changed. Import and export are different directions; avoid having the same field written from both sides.Export customer list transfers customers from Abicart to Fortnox. First, determine which system owns the customer data and how customer number, email address, and organization number should be matched. Do not activate the opposite customer import for the same data without a coordinated mapping.Import customer retrieves new and changed customers from Fortnox. Check mapping and matching before using both import and export; otherwise, the wrong customer may be linked or data may be overwritten. Export price lists - Exports all of the store's price lists to Fortnox. Import price lists - Imports all price lists from Fortnox to Abicart. VAT per country and OSS If you use VAT per country or OSS, the settings in Abicart and Fortnox need to match your actual setup. Ask your financial manager to determine the countries, VAT rates, and accounts. The examples below are configuration examples, not general tax advice. Start by activating "VAT per country" in the store. 1) Settings -> VAT -> Price handling.Previously, prices excluding VAT were required, but now it is just as well to have prices including VAT selected. If you have prices excluding VAT in the admin, you can still display the prices including VAT in the storefront. You manage this under "Presentation" just below this setting.2) When the setting above is as you want it, set "VAT per country" at the bottom of the page.Add the EU countries that should pay VAT, for example, Germany and Spain, and then enter the percentage rate for these countries. Save. When this is done, log in to Fortnox and create the VAT rates to be used in Fortnox: Then, create sales accounts for each country in Fortnox. Instructions for this can be found in the Fortnox manual: https://support.fortnox.se/produkthjalp/bokforing/oss-one-stop-shop When this is done, you will be able to select a sales account per country under Settings -> External connections -> Fortnox in Abicart: The products must be marked as active and "webshop product: yes" in Fortnox to work. If the export is rejected due to a VAT number: compare the customer type, country, address, and registered VAT number with the correct customer data. Do not delete a real VAT number to get past the error. Correct the underlying data or let support investigate the error message with your financial manager before a targeted retry.F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions I want to export orders as unposted invoices to Fortnox, how do I set this up? Under "Resource type in Fortnox", you should select "Invoice" for the payment method(s) you want to export as an "Invoice".  Under "Payment methods in Fortnox", you then control whether the order should be posted or not.  Ignore - The invoice is registered in Fortnox but not posted.Post - The invoice is registered in Fortnox and posted but not marked as paid.The other options (which ones are available here depends on which payment methods have been created in Fortnox) mean that the invoice is registered in Fortnox, posted, and marked as paid with the selected payment method. How are customers handled? If you are a logged-in customer in Abicart:First, we check if the customer in Abicart is already linked to a customer in Fortnox. If so, that customer in Fortnox is used.Second, we check if there is a customer in Fortnox with the same customer number (custom customer number) as in Abicart. If so, that Fortnox customer is used.Third, we check if there is a customer with the same email address. If so, that Fortnox customer is used.If none of the above are met, a new customer is created in Fortnox.If you are not a logged-in customer in Abicart:We check if there is a customer with the same email address in Fortnox. If so, that Fortnox customer is used.If none of the above are met, a new customer is created in Fortnox. Which properties are exported during a product export from Abicart to Fortnox? The following product properties are exported to Fortnox from Abicart. Name/Description Active/hidden Product number StockGoods - whether the product is a stock item or not StockWarning - level for stock warning Type - set to "STOCK" or "SERVICE" depending on the product type EAN Manufacturer's product number MPN/SKU Unit - set to the product's unit (often pieces) WebshopArticle - set to true if the product is displayed in the store Quantity in stock is set for stock items Sales accounts are set unless you have checked that you do not want this. Price Purchase price Which properties are imported during a product import from Fortnox to Abicart? The following product properties are imported from Fortnox to Abicart. Product number Active/hidden Stock balance Weight EAN Manufacturer's product number MPN/SKU VAT rate, percent Unit Name/Description Price Purchase price If an order or update is missingCheck the correct company and if the corresponding product, order, or invoice already exists in Fortnox.Check the order's payment method, resource type, and whether the triggering status has been reached. If the resource type excludes the order from export, do not troubleshoot it as if automatic export had been requested.Check the connection and both Activation and Execution. Update immediately means a transfer is initiated; it does not guarantee immediate successful delivery.Read the visible error message. Compare the currency, product number, customer type, address, country, and VAT number with the correct underlying data.Correct the root cause and check existing objects before a targeted retry. Do not use Export all as the first troubleshooting step.Contact support with the store, transfer direction, system controlling inventory, order/product number, time, and error message if the discrepancy persists. Specify what has already been corrected manually so that the same order, invoice, or stock movement is not handled twice.

Integration with Creditsafe

Export and import your store's translations

27 Nov 2025

Translate many of your store's texts in one file and import them to the correct language without changing the content's identity. This guide applies to store administrators on Go, Plus, and Pro plans. Multiple languages and language import/export are available on these plans. The language must be added to the store. Customer login, customer groups, and other features have their own subscription terms; a translation does not activate such features. 1. Prepare the language and choose what to translate Go to Settings → Languages and add the target language.Mark the language as Hidden if you want to prepare the translations before visitors can select the language.Decide which parts to translate: products, product groups, shipping and payment methods, delivery information, product templates, custom pages, and theme.Identify the correct store or sub-store and its active theme. A theme can have its own texts even if the product texts are already translated. Keep an unchanged copy of the export file. Avoid deleting, recreating, or changing the content or theme the export refers to before you have imported the translations. If the structure has changed, create a new export and transfer the translations to the current keys. 2. Export the correct source language and content Go to Settings → Languages → Export.Select the language in which the existing texts are written, for example, Swedish. This is the source language.Select XLSX, ODS or CSV. XLSX might be the easiest if you work in Excel.Select the content types to include. Choose the correct theme when translating theme texts; check the store, theme version, and which theme is active.Export the file and open it in your spreadsheet program. Video walkthrough The video shows the export and import flow. Menu names and appearance may differ between interface versions; follow the workflow steps and the content of the fields. 3. Write the translation in the correct column The file has three columns in this order: key, content and translation. key identifies the object and the field. Do not change the values in this column or create your own keys.content shows the exported source text. Editing this column does not change the source language text through this import.translation is the text to be saved in the target language. For example, one row might refer to the product's post-order text and another to the product name. Keep the row's key together with the correct text; never sort a single column independently of the others. Empty translation cells are skipped. Therefore, do not use an empty cell to delete an existing translation. A single value of 0 is also treated as empty in this import. To enter a field consisting only of 0 or delete its text, edit that field directly in the administration. Translate what should be customer-facing in the target language, but keep identifiers and other technical values that must be exact. Preserve necessary links and HTML structure in texts that contain formatting. If you use CSV Save the file as UTF-8. The header row must be key, content, translation as three separate columns in the correct order. The import recognizes commas, semicolons, and tabs as delimiters; the same delimiter must be used throughout the file. The export's delimiter follows the store's export setting and is therefore not always a semicolon. If all the text ends up in one column in the spreadsheet program, you should open the file with the correct delimiter and character encoding. Do not remove the header row or the key column to make the file look right. 4. Import to the target language Save the finished file in CSV, ODS, or XLSX format.Go to Settings → Languages → Import.Select the language used in the translation column, for example English. Do not select the source language by mistake.Select the file and start the import. Import one target language at a time.Check the result before making the language visible to visitors. Errors regarding the header row or file format must be corrected in the file. Also, check that the target language exists in the specific store the export and import apply to. Do not import an old file against a new theme or recreated content without first comparing a new export. 5. Check the entire customer-facing language version Check at least one product, one product group, a custom page, the checkout, payment/shipping names, and the active theme. Also check post-order texts and customer notifications once they have been translated. A product import or a translated product text does not mean that all the store's pages and theme texts are complete. Incomplete translations can result in a mixed or incomplete language version. Keep the language hidden until you have checked how your specific fields are displayed. Check the translations again if you later change themes. Quick start Add the target language and keep it hidden during preparation.Export the correct source language, content, and theme.Keep key and content; fill in translation and save the file correctly.Import to the correct target language and check all relevant parts of the store. Subscription and access Go, Plus, and Pro support multiple languages and this translation workflow. Access to features that are translated, such as customer groups, is still controlled by the store's subscription and activated features. Older or individual agreements may have different terms.

Orders

27 Nov 2025

In Orders you will find all the orders placed in the shop. You can sort, manage, shred and export the orders.Customize the order listChoose that columns to display by clicking on "Columns":Search for ordersTo search for orders between certain dates, placed with a certain payment method, or for a specific order number, use the "Add search parameter" function. The filtering is then saved so that it is available the next time you visit the order page.Search by "Country"A search by "Country" will return hits both on the orderer's selected delivery country (where delivery is to be made) and on the payer's own country (the payer's country). A search on "Norway" will therefore show both orders delivered to Norway and orders from Norway that choose to deliver to another country, such as Sweden.Exporting ordersIf you want to export all orders, there is a function that creates a CSV or SKV file that you can edit on your computer and then import back or to another system.The type of file created is determined by the store's export settings, which can be adjusted under Settings -> General -> Export settings.If you want only a selection of all orders, you can enter values in the search function on the page and then click on "Export orders", e.g. if you only want to export orders between two specific dates.The name of countries exported is always in English, e.g. "Brazil". Any states or provinces are in the main language of the country, e.g. "Espírito Santo" (here: Portuguese).If you are exporting a CSV file, the decimal separator is a dot (e.g. 13.20 kr) and if you are exporting an SKV file, the decimal separator is a comma (e.g. 13.20 kr).Use function on selected ordersIf you want to create address labels or delivery notes, you can do it here. Select the current orders by ticking the box to the left of each order and then select the function.Detailed order informationTo see all the information about an order, you can click on the order number. This will take you to the order page itself, where you can see which products have been purchased, customer information and the delivery and payment methods used, and possibly information on the export status to external systems (transport and financial systems).On some of the blocks you can view more information by clicking on the arrow in the upper right corner. For example, if you want to mark an order as paid but not shipped, click on the arrow on the "Execute Action" block. Then make sure that only the action(s) you want to perform are selected before clicking the button.Activate/debit reserved ordersWhen a purchase is completed, the order is reserved in most cases. You then need to activate/debit the order when it is shipped in order for the money to be paid out. To activate/debit an order, go to Orders -> click on the order number -> in the "Perform actions" box, make sure the "Debit ([payment method name])" checkbox is selected and then click on the "Perform selected actions" button. The transaction will then be activated by the payment service and the money will be deducted from the buyer's card and/or an invoice will be sent out depending on the payment method chosen.You can also activate the order in the order list, by clicking on the icon with a lightning bolt at the far right.

Abandoned carts

27 Nov 2025

Manage customers who have not completed purchases at checkout. What is an abandoned basket? An abandoned basket is an order that has been initiated by the customer adding products to the basket and then proceeding to checkout, but not completing the order. In order for an order to count as an abandoned cart, the customer must have entered their email address at checkout and the order must have been untouched for at least 15 minutes. How does it work? Under Orders -> Abandoned carts, a list of abandoned carts is displayed. Currently, you can filter in four different ways: day current week current month last month Currently, you can only see this information, and you cannot contact the buyer directly through this interface. If you want to contact the customer, you will have to copy the email address and then use your usual email client to do so. What information can you see? You can see the customer's email, the products they had in the shopping cart and the date the products were added to the shopping cart. Please note that these orders may no longer be available for purchase as shown in the list, there is no guarantee that the cart contents are still available.

Change of ownership

Tab icon / Favicon

27 Nov 2025

You can add your own image to be displayed in browser tabs or address windows.What is a favicon?A favicon is a small square image that appears on the tab or in the address window of the visitor's browser. Some browsers display the image in the tab and others in the address window.A custom favicon makes your shop look more professional and unique, so we recommend adding one if you can. The most common is to have a small version of your logo as an icon.What format should the image be?It should be a square image (1:1 ratio) and common sizes are 16 x 16 px or 32 x 32 px and it should be in the . PNG.In the past, .ICO was the most common format for this image, but some browsers no longer support this. We therefore recommend that you save the image as .PNG instead, so that it works on as many browsers as possible. Insert a tab icon in the themeGo to Appearance -> Tab icon. Upload the image and press "Save". Now you have your own tab icon in your store!Some browsers display the image in the browser tab (e.g. Google Chrome) and others display it in front of the page address in the browser address window (e.g. Safari), so it may differ depending on which browser you are using.

Product bundles

27 Nov 2025

Product bundles allow you to put several products together and sell them as a single package.This feature allows you to create a ready-made package with existing products and set a separate price for the package. When the package is purchased, the inventory balance is automatically counted down on all products included in the bundle.Product bundles are included in the Abicart Plus and Pro subscriptions.RestrictionsThis feature is still under construction and therefore there is currently a limitation in that some products cannot be included in a package.Products that cannot be included in a package at the moment: Products with different VAT rates.gift card products. products where the customer can upload a customer-specific file.Product packages cannot be copiedCreating a product bundleIn this example, we have five products, four tools and a toolbox that we want to sell together in a package. To create a product package, click on "New product" -> "New bundle".Enter a name for the bundle.Enter a description.Then you choose which products to include in the bundle. In the right column there is a field called "Products included". Click on "+ Add content" and then find the first product to be included in the bundle. You can search by product name and/or product number. In this case, we search by product number and the product name appears in the list below. Click on the product name to select it.Repeat the step and add all the products to be included in the package. When all products are selected, it will look like this:Then you have to give a price for what this bundle should cost. In this example, all products cost 1275 SEK in total and we think you should get a little discount so we set 999 SEK as the price for the bundle.In the shop, it looks like a normal product. 

Create products and check that they are purchasable

27 Nov 2025

Create a product with the correct price, stock, and content, and check that the customer can both find and purchase it. This guide is for store administrators in Go, Plus, and Pro. Basic products, variants, and product groups are available in all three; advanced features have their own plan conditions. Customer login and product watch require Plus/Pro in the current plans. The theme affects display and placement, while purchasability is also controlled by product, group, stock, and customer settings. 1. Create and check the basic productOpen Assortment (Catalogue) → Products → New product and select the intended product type.Write a clear name, short introduction, and full description in the languages you use.Enter the correct price, VAT, item number, and image. Distinguish the unit price from the price for a ready-made pack.Select a product group, inventory management, and any variant. For variant stock, the correct option/variant needs to have a stock balance.Save and preview. Check both visibility and purchasability, with the correct customer and sub-store. 2. Assess why the product is visible or purchasable Setting/statusWhat to checkHidden or draftIntentionally not public; publish/save normally only when the details are complete.For display onlyCan be displayed without purchase and quantity controls.Price is missingCheck the store's option for items without a price or quote; the absence of a price is not automatically an error.Out of stockDistinguish between hide at zero, purchase stop, and allow ordering despite being out of stock. A backorder option can make the item purchasable without a stock balance.Variant or groupCheck the correct variant's stock balance and the visibility of all regular groups; the primary group is not the only visibility rule.Watch productPlus/Pro and the correct stock/display support are required. Watching is not the same as buying a backordered product. 3. Field reference and in-depth informationWhat different types of products are there? There are currently four different types of products: - product (physical or downloadable) - package (consists of several different products) - service - gift cardProductThe most common thing in a store is regular products. Here you can specify various properties such as name, description, price, stock balance, item number, weight, shipping information, and more. PackageChoose from the product types available in your store. Distinguish the Package product type, which links several products together, from a regular product sold as a ready-made multipack.A product package must contain at least two products, and you can set a new price for the package itself, completely independent of the base price of the products in the package. Example: If you create a package with three products that cost 50 kr each, you can set a custom package price of 120 kr. ServiceWhat distinguishes a service from a regular product is that the blocks (properties) for stock balance and shipping, among others, are missing.Gift cardGift cards require Plus or Pro in the current plans. Check actual feature availability for older or individual agreements.If a customer wants to give a gift card, they can use gift cards in the store. The store owner then creates gift cards with different values, for example, 100 kr, 250 kr, 500 kr, etc. The customer can then buy one or more gift cards to give away. They are either sent out via email, or the buyer can print them out and give a physical gift card that works as payment in the store. Create a new productGo to Products -> Click the "+ New product..." button in the upper right -> select "New product". On this page (the "Product properties" tab), there are several different boxes containing various settings. A copied product is created as a hidden draft. Set the new product's correct details and price before the first normal save. Do not use copying as a way to reset the same item's actual price history. For an advertised price reduction, the relevant previous lowest price and discount calculation must follow the rules. See also background on sale prices and current guidance from the Swedish Consumer Agency.TextsThis box contains settings for the product's name and descriptions. If you have activated multiple languages, a field for each language will be displayed for each property. Product nameEnter a name for the product. Keep in mind that this name is important for search engines, so instead of just entering "t-shirt," you should consider including the manufacturer or similar in the name as well. For example, "T-shirt from [brand]". Introductory textThis field is displayed on the product page just below the product name and is intended for a short summary of the product.DescriptionThis field is intended to be used for a long, detailed description of the product. PricingThis box contains settings for prices, VAT, and the option to activate a quote function. If you have activated multiple currencies and set them to be manual, a field for each manual currency will be displayed for each price field. However, it is most common to have a base currency and then link other currencies to this base currency. The system can then automatically calculate prices in these other currencies based on the current exchange rate. Regular priceA field for entering a regular price for the product. Sale priceA field for entering a sale price for the product. Note that the new pricing system with price lists can also be managed under Products -> Pricing.VAT rateIf a product should have a different VAT rate than the standard VAT rate, you can specify it here. Under Settings -> VAT -> VAT rates -> Standard VAT rate for the store's items, you specify a default VAT rate for all products.Show “Request quote” instead of “Buy” for this item.In some cases, you may not know what the product will cost and need to get a quote. You can activate this setting on the product. Instead of a buy button, the customer will fill in an email address and mobile number; they also have the option to fill in a name and a message. The customer will then be able to click "Send price request." The information and the item in question will be sent by email to the store owner.By default, you must enter a price for products to be able to create them. If you want to create products without a price, you can change this setting under Products -> Product settings -> Items without price.Inventory managementThis box contains settings for activating inventory management, setting the stock balance, and displaying various stock messages to the customer. Enable inventory managementThis setting must be activated for inventory management to work. Stock balanceField for entering the stock balance. If you use customer's choice and have activated inventory management, you enter the stock balance for each choice under the "Customer's choice" tab. Show stock balanceIf you want to show the product's stock balance to the customer, activate this setting. The stock balance is displayed on the product page, and if the balance is 0 or less, the stock message from the "Stock message for out-of-stock items" field is displayed instead. Hide item if out of stockIf you want the product to be hidden when it sells out, you can activate this setting. Allow orders even if out of stock and show stock messageThe backorder setting allows ordering without a positive stock balance when the product is otherwise purchasable. If Hide item if out of stock is also activated, the product is hidden and cannot be purchased at zero stock. Enter a realistic delivery notice in Stock message for out-of-stock items and check the correct variant and other purchase and visibility settings. Stock message for out-of-stock itemsIf you have activated inventory management and "Show stock balance," this field will be displayed on the item page. Here you can enter a text that informs when the product is expected to be back in stock, for example, "Temporarily sold out. Back in stock in 3-4 days". Send me an email at low stock statusA field to activate a setting for the store owner. If you want to be warned that a product is about to run out of stock, you can activate this function. You must then also enter a value in the "Stock warning limit" field, i.e., when the warning should be sent. For example, if you enter "2" in the field, the system will send an email to the store owner (the email is sent to the email address specified under Settings -> Email -> Order emails) when the stock balance becomes two or lower. Hide product if out of stockCheck the box to hide the product when it runs out of stock.Stock location name (for sorting in picking list)Enter the stock location name here.PropertiesWeight and product template are different properties. Enter weight in grams for a physical item and correct shipping handling. Product templates require their feature to be available, including Plus/Pro in the current plans.WeightIf you use a shipping service like Unifaun and/or Pacsoft, you must enter the weight for all products. The weight should be entered in grams, and it will be summed for all items in the shopping cart to then calculate a shipping fee based on the total weight. Product templateIf you have created product templates, they will be displayed in a list here. Select the template that the product should use. Product templates are created under Products -> Product templates.QuantityIn this field, you can control how many units of the product must be purchased. By default, you can buy anything from one to as many products as are in stock. But some products you might want to sell in 6-packs, 10-packs, or similar, and you can set that here. Minimum quantity stepThe quantity the customer can order must be a multiple of this number. The default is "1".First, decide what the price and stock balance refer to. If the product is a ready-made 10-pack and the price is for the entire pack, you normally use Minimum quantity step 1 and Minimum quantity 1; one purchased quantity is then one pack. If the price is instead per piece and the customer must buy in multiples of ten, you enter Minimum quantity step 10 and Minimum quantity 10. Ten items will then cost ten times the price per item. Check that the product name, price, stock balance, and picking list use the same unit.Minimum quantityThe minimum quantity that can be purchased. The default is "1".Minimum quantity refers to the quantity of the product to which the price applies. For a pre-packaged 10-pack with a package price, the minimum quantity is normally 1 package. For products priced per item that must be purchased ten at a time, the minimum quantity is 10 items. The field does not convert a package price to a price per item.Maximum quantityIf you want to limit the quantity of this product that can be purchased, enter the value in this field. The default is "0" for an unlimited quantity. Hide quantity input field (product view)If you do not want the customer to be able to choose the quantity of the product, you can enable this setting. The customer can then only purchase the quantity permitted by the store owner's Minimum quantity, Minimum quantity step, and Maximum quantity settings.Never show quantity input fieldThe setting above (Hide quantity input field) only applies to the product page. If you do not want the buyer to be able to change the quantity in the cart/checkout, you must also check this box. Product settingsThis field contains settings for the product, such as whether it should be displayed as a new arrival, for display only, etc. New arrivalIf you enable the product as a new arrival, it will be displayed on its own "New arrivals" page. You can also add a product block to the homepage in the theme and select the "New arrivals" connection. Then, only the products marked as new arrivals will be displayed. Customer-specific fileIf you want the buyer to upload an image/file for the product before adding it to the cart, enable this setting. For example, if you sell products with custom prints. The buyer can then easily attach an image to be printed on the product. Customer-specific file is requiredIf you have enabled the setting above, "Customer-specific file", you can make this setting mandatory, so that the buyer must upload a file to be able to add the product to the cart. To do so, check this setting.If only this setting is enabled, nothing will happen. The "Customer-specific file" setting must be enabled for "Customer-specific file is required" to have any effect. Exclude from related productsThe current Go, Plus, and Pro plans include support for related products on the product page. The display also needs to be enabled in the theme or product block you are using. For example, accessories or "Customers also bought". In some cases, you may not want to show certain products in a related products list, and you can then disable them with this setting. For display onlyIf you only want to display a product without it being purchasable, you can enable this setting. For example, if it is an upcoming product, you can add it in advance and then make it purchasable when it comes into stock. Text in order confirmationA field where you can enter a text for this specific product that will be displayed in the order confirmation. Note that there is a general field for "Text in order confirmation" under Settings -> Document and email content -> Order confirmation -> Text on order confirmation.You should only use this field if there is something specific about this particular product that you want to communicate. InformationThis field contains a setting to hide the product and also shows what product type it is.HiddenA setting to hide the product. The product will not be displayed in the storefront, only in the admin. In the product list, the product row is also marked in dark gray. Product typeThere are four different product types, and this shows which type it is. Product, package, service, or gift card.CategorizationSelect product groups and, where relevant, the Google product category. Check the product feed's feature availability separately.Product groupSelect which product group(s) the product should belong to. Membership in multiple product groups is included in the current Go, Plus, and Pro plans. A product has a primary group and can also belong to more groups. Check your store's actual feature availability for older or individual agreements; do not create product copies or change subscriptions just because a group selection is missing. A product group is a categorization; product, package, service, and gift card are different product types.Google TaxonomyGoogle has its own predefined product categorization. Select a correct category when it is needed for the product; do not invent your own Google categories. Google's requirements vary between product categories, so a manually selected category for each product is not a general approval requirement. See the product feed guide for current requirements.IdentificationThe identification field contains properties for identifying the product. Product numberA product number can contain letters, numbers, and some special characters. Some external systems (shipping systems, accounting and POS systems, etc.) may have limitations and not allow certain special characters in the product number, such as spaces, ampersands (&), hash tags, periods, commas, etc. Therefore, you should not use these special characters in product numbers, but only letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), hyphens (-), and underscores ( _ ). MPN / SKU (Manufacturer's Part Number)A field for the manufacturer's product number. GTIN (Global Trade Item Number)Enter the actual GTIN assigned to the product by the manufacturer. If a GTIN is missing, do not invent a number or treat the brand as a general substitute. The brand and the manufacturer's MPN may also be required depending on the product; follow the product feed guide.ImagesA module for uploading images of the product. Supported image formats are JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. Choose a sharp product image with a suitable size and proportions; around 1000 × 1000 pixels can be a useful example, not a universal format requirement. The system creates image sizes for different screens. The standard limit for a product image is 10 MB; some accounts have special 50/100 MB options. This is an upload limit for the image, not the store's storage space.In addition, we re-encode uploaded images to AVIF. However, the format is only used if the browser supports it. It is not possible to upload or import AVIF images.AttachmentsA module for uploading an attachment to the product, for example, a PDF file with technical specifications or similar. You should not use the attachments feature to sell digital files, such as PDF files or similar. The attachment will be available on the product page for all visitors and can be downloaded without having to purchase the product. We have a feature for selling downloadable files that you can use to sell digital files.ShippingThis field contains various shipping settings and the display of delivery messages.Free shippingIf you want a specific product to have free shipping, you can enable it here. If there are some products with free shipping and others without, the regular shipping fee will be applied to the order.If all items in the cart have free shipping, no shipping fee will be added to the total.BulkyA feature to tag a product as bulky, for example, if you sell products that are physically large but may not weigh much and therefore should not use the standard shipping fee.Typically, you create a delivery method (Settings -> Shipping and delivery) that can handle bulky products (for example, "In-store pickup") and then you disable bulky products on all other delivery methods.If the customer has at least one bulky product in the cart, only the delivery method(s) that can handle bulky products will be displayed at checkout.Delivery informationUnder Products -> Delivery information, you can create different delivery templates that display different texts depending on whether a product is in stock or sold out. You can then link the templates to your products. It is possible to tag a delivery template as a "default template", which then activates it as the default for all products. You can then manually change the delivery template or turn it off completely via the settings here. Show the store's default template for delivery information ("[Template name]")Show no delivery informationSelect a custom product-specific template for delivery informationStore owner's notesA text field for notes. Only displayed in the admin, not in the storefront. 4. Distinguish between three types of files and check quantities Public attachment: for example, a PDF with specifications can be downloaded via its public address. Do not put a paid file there.Paid download: use the downloadable product feature with order/code/validity check. The default limit for that upload is 20 MB, not the same as the product image limit.Customer-specific file: a file the buyer submits with an order. The requirement only takes effect when the customer file feature itself is also enabled. For selling in six-packs: a minimum quantity of 6 and a minimum step of 6 yields 6, 12, 18… if other conditions allow it. For ten-packs, the equivalent is 10. If the price is per item, six items will cost six times the price per item; this is not the same as a separate package product with its own package price. Also check the maximum quantity and if the quantity can be changed in the cart. Quick startSelect type and write name/description.Enter price/VAT, number, image, group, and stock/variant.Check public attachment vs. paid download and customer file.Save and check the correct customer's visibility, quantity, and purchasability. Subscription and accessBasic products, variants, product groups, multiple group memberships, and related products are available in the current Go, Plus, and Pro plans. Customer login, product watch, product templates, and gift cards are available in Plus/Pro. Choose from the product types available in your store and check older agreements and activated add-ons. Distinguish a regular product sold in a multi-pack from the Package product type.

Related products

Related products allow you to show complementary or similar products on the product page, such as Accessories, Similar products or Others also purchased. By displaying relevant products, you can increase upselling, increase order value and help customers find more products they are interested in.Different ways to create lists of related products You can create lists of related products in several ways depending on how you want to work in your store: 1. Manually on the product (product-specific list)You can create a related list directly on a product and manually select which products to display, or choose to display an automatic list based on purchases. 2. Via product templates (only for Abicart Plus and Abicart Pro subscriptions)If you use product templates, you can create relationship lists in the template. The lists will then automatically appear on all products that use that template. You can choose to hide related products from the product template on a specific product by checking the "Hide lists inherited by product template" box on the product's related products settings.Read more about product templates here 3. Via import If you have many products, you can create or update related lists via import. This allows you to manage related products on a larger scale.Read more about how to import related products here Info for you with Plus & Pro: You can choose to show related products both from item template and from product specific list (list created via import/manually per product). Add related items to a product Go to Assortment -> Products -> Select product, edit -> Go to the "Related Products" tab. Click on "Add relation list". Name of the list Enter a name for the list.

Under "Automatic or manual" select "Manual" for a manually created list. If you choose "Automatic", the system will show products that other buyers have traded at the same time as the product you are looking at.

Create product groups and control assortment display

27 Nov 2025

Organize the assortment into groups and keep product membership, the menu, and the page's product selection separate. This guide applies to store administrators in Go, Plus, and Pro. Membership in multiple product groups is included in the current Go, Plus, and Pro plans. Check actual feature availability for older or individual agreements. The group tree and membership are shared data, but menu mode and custom page blocks depend on the active theme/editor. Also, check the correct sub-store and customer selection. 1. Create structure and link productsOpen Assortment → Product groups and create a main group.Create a subgroup with the correct Placement or New subgroup.Link products under Assortment → Products → Categorization.Select automatic group selection or explicitly manual selection in the page's block.Check the menu, the group's URL, and the product list as a visitor. 2. Keep the rules separatePartMeaningPrimary groupAffects URL/breadcrumb context, among other things. It is not the sole price, discount, or access rule.Additional membershipRemains if you change the primary group until you change the membership.Hide in product menuControls navigation. It is not an access control or a guarantee that the direct link cannot be reached.Group/product visibilityCheck all regular groups and the product, not just the menu link.Manual product blockIs not automatically populated just because the product belongs to the group. Change the block's selection or choose automatic linking. 3. Detailed steps and image referenceProduct groups What does it mean? How do I add product groups? How do I create subgroups? How do I move groups? How do I add products to my product groups? Other settings and what they do Store design (Custom look) Product groups are used to organize your products in a way that is convenient for your customers. They form the basis of your assortment. Defined product groups help you create order in your store. In the admin, you can use folders to create a structure for categorizing your products. The group tree can be used by the theme, but the menu's actual selection and other visibility rules determine what the visitor sees. Plan the group structure and check the result in the store's active theme. Tip! A well-formed structure makes navigation easier for your buyers. Easy navigation equals a good user experience and satisfied customers. For example, this is what it can look like when you gather all brands under a single product group: How do I add product groups? Go to Assortment (A) -> Product groups (B) -> Click +New product group (C) Enter the “Group name” (D) (e.g., Fashion). Click the +Add (E) to add and save the group. How do I create subgroups? Method 1: Start by creating a new product group. If you are unsure how, see the previous section "How do I add product groups?".Select which main group the new product group should belong to under "Placement" (A).Enter a name for your product group (B).Click +Add (C) to save your product group.If you click Assortment -> Product groups (D), you will now see that your main group has a subgroup. Method 2: On the “Product groups” page, click the product group's name (A). A list will appear on the right.Select +New subgroup (B) to add a new subgroup. How do I move groups? Sometimes you may need to move groups; you can do this in two different ways. Method 1: Select the group (A).In the list on the right, select Cut (B).Click the group where you want to move the clipped item (C). The list now shows the options Paste into, Paste before and Paste after (D). Paste into means the clipped item will be placed inside the selected group. Paste before means the clipped item will be placed before the selected group in the tree. Paste after means the clipped item will be placed after the selected group in the tree. Method 2: Click and drag the folder you want to move (A). Drop it either on the group where it should be placed (B).Or between groups to move it within the structure (C). How do I add products to my product groups? Go to Assortment -> Products (A).Create a new product (B), or edit an existing one (C). Under Categorization (D) you can select a “Product group” for your product (or multiple product groups; this is supported in the current Go, Plus, and Pro).Preview your store and check that the menu's actual group selection contains the groups you want to display. Things to remember: Check the product's group membership when it is missing from an automatic group selection. A hidden product, customer selection, and manual block can also affect the display; group membership alone does not guarantee that it will be displayed on every page. You can add a product to multiple product groups, but only one can be treated as the primary group for that specific product. In a multi-store setup, the correct product/group selection for the sub-store needs to be checked separately. Do not assume that changing the primary group alone describes all actual sub-store access. Group-based discount rules can check the product's regular group memberships, not just the primary group. Check which groups the discount rule actually covers and which products the customer sees. The image illustrates primary and additional group affiliation, not proof that only the primary group can be included in a discount. Changing the primary group does not remove other memberships. Other settings and what they do: Hide In the product group settings, there is an option to hide both groups and/or products in two different ways. Hide the product group and its products Hiding a product group is not a reliable way to stop the sale of every product displayed in it. A product can still be available through another visible regular product group or subgroup. If a specific product should no longer be sold, hide the product itself and check the direct link, search, and purchasability in the relevant sub-stores. Do not show the product group in the product menu only changes the navigation.Things to remember: If you apply the setting to a top-level category, the subgroups are also hidden from the menu. The product's visibility depends on the combined rules of its regular groups. If all relevant regular member groups are hidden, the product may be hidden; a visible regular group can keep it visible. Virtual groups are a separate case. Products in subgroups can still be available if their own visibility, group, and selection rules allow it. This is no guarantee that the group page can be accessed or found via search. If you want to hide all groups under the top-level one, you must do it for each individual subgroup. Tip! If you haven't hidden the group but it still doesn't appear in the menu, the next place to check is Appearance (A) -> Themes (B) -> Edit (pencil icon) (C) -> Product group page (D) -> Empty groups (E) . (The product group might be empty). This also applies to the option "Do not show the product group in the product menu". Do not show the product group in the product menu Do you want to hide the product group from being displayed in the menu? Then this is your option. Do not show the product group in the product menu controls navigation, not access or sales stops. The group can still be reached in other ways if other visibility and selection rules allow it; searchability is not guaranteed. The group tree can be used by the theme, but the menu's actual selection determines what is displayed. If a specific product is to be discontinued, hide the product and check the direct link, search, and purchasability in the relevant sub-stores. Things to consider: This option is not active, but the product group is still not available in the website menu? This is not included in the menu under Appearance -> Themes -> Edit -> Content -> Header / Menu (Based on the theme). If the group is missing from the menu: first check the menu's selection, the group's visibility, and the theme that is actually active. Search indexing and menu content are different things; waiting 24 hours is not a general solution. Add an image and description to the product group In this setting, you can add an image and description for the group. It will be displayed at the top of the product group page. Tip! Choose an image that connects well with your group; this helps your customers navigate more easily. Store design Each theme has its own design and predefined layout, but is also extremely customizable according to your preferences. You can start humbly and follow the theme layout, or be creative and go for a custom look. The storefront design is controlled by the store template: This follows the layout of the active theme selected under Appearance -> Themes. This is the default setting for the product category. Custom store design (Custom look) This is the creative part. Here you can design your own layout for your product group page. The different blocks can be added and rearranged according to your choice. Advantages of using a custom look: Flexible design. Control the information displayed. Your own relevant content; the layout itself does not promise any ranking. Easy selection & placement of products. Remember: Custom look replaces this product group page's standard content layout with the blocks and selections you set. It does not in itself change the product's price, stock, purchase, or access rules. Check each block in the store's active theme. Check the heading levels in your actual custom layout. Product group table Display the product groups you choose. Advantages: Helps customers easily navigate through products in different groups. Add related groups. Flexible placement on the page (A). Flexible grid (B). Simple choice (C). Simple sorting (D). Product list & table To display the products in a grid, list view, or both in separate blocks. Linked - Automatic selection & placement of products under the selected product group. Manual - Flexible and custom selection of products and their placement in the block. To search or browse for a product to place in the block (A). Add a new block in the location (B). To affect the product's position. Click the icon and then the desired location (C). To remove the product from the block (D). Full-width product It will be in a list format like the "product list" block, but with more control and flexibility to choose what information to display about the product on the product group page. Here is an example of what it can look like in full-width: Here is an example of what the “Product list” can look like: Optional text/image This option provides more comprehensive control for adding content compared to other blocks. Advantages: Add links to images and text. Use HTML under source code (<>). Add videos and tables. Remember: Custom scripts may not work and can damage the page. Check the logical heading structure in your own content. Tip: If you use wide banner images on the product category page, you can use CSS to make them responsive in mobile view. - Open the HTML view via <> - Maintain correct dimensions and use responsive CSS if needed, for example: style="max-width:100%; height:auto; display:block; margin:0 auto;" 4. Troubleshoot a missing group or productOpen the direct link and distinguish an unavailable page from a missing menu link.Check for hidden products, all common member groups, and subgroups.Check if the theme hides empty groups and if the menu actually includes the group.Check automatic linking versus manual selection in custom appearance.Check the correct sub-store, customer group, and language. Do not change the entire URL structure for a problem with the menu or block selection. For a wide banner, max-width:100%; height:auto is a common responsive setup. Maintain correct image dimensions/aspect ratio where the component uses them and check the actual mobile page. Check the heading levels in your own content and that the work steps can be followed in the correct order. Quick startCreate a main group and a subgroup.Link a product and deliberately choose the primary/extra group.Select the correct block selection and menu.Check the direct link, customer/sub-store, and actual display. Subscription and accessProduct groups are available in Go, Plus, and Pro. Membership in multiple product groups is included in the current Go, Plus, and Pro. For older or individual agreements, the store's actual feature access needs to be checked. Do not create product copies or change subscriptions just because a group selection is missing. Custom look and menu instructions must be followed in the correct active theme variant, not mixed between older editors and TPL.
