Before you Begin
-
Sign up for a MyDeal seller account.
-
Contact MyDeal for your Seller ID and Seller Token. They are required to connect the CrescoData dashboard to your MyDeal account.
-
Determine how you will charge for shipping. MyDeal has a number of ways to charge for shipping which may require custom product fields in Maropost Commerce. Review the different methods available and what they require.
-
Create a custom product field to store your MyDeal Shipping Category. This field must be populated with 1, 2 or 3 on each product, depending on your shipping costs:
| Field Value | Name | Description |
|---|
| 1 | Flat | Single cost per item. |
| 2 | Custom | Use the shipping options in Maropost Commerce to calculate postage cost. |
| 3 | Flat any Qty | Single cost for any number of items. |
-
When you receive a MyDeal order the payment method on it will say MyDeal Payments. To ensure you can reconcile these payments with your accounting system, add a new direct deposit payment method called MyDeal Payments. Set the Show on Website and Point of Sale settings off, so that it isn't accidentally used for other channels.
Install and Set up the MyDeal Sales Channel
Warning: When you install the MyDeal add-on all of your existing MyDeal listings will be automatically discontinued until you complete the setup steps.
