• How do I set the shipping costs?

• Can I set up free shipping in my store?
  Yes. Having free shipping increases the percentage conversion of your store. Obviously, you should keep this in mind when configuring the retail price of your products.

• Can I synchronise my WooCommerce store through API?
  Yes. We have API available to enable you to synchronise your store with BigBuy. Use it if you need to do a very specific development. Otherwise, we recommend working with our Multi-Channel Integration Platform cloud software because it saves costs. +info

• Can I have my own products and also BigBuy products?
  Yes, the connector is compatible with non-BigBuy products. In this case, we recommend deactivating the option of automatic shipping costs in the WooCommerce section and configuring it by hand to take your own products into account.

• How long does the synchronising take?
  The synchronising is in real time. Any change in stock and price is reflected in your store instantly. The loading of products may take a few hours, depending on the number of items.

• Are new products added to the store automatically?
  Yes, the updates that BigBuy creates in the categories you have selected will be automatically synchronised with your store.

• Why do I have private products in my store?
  Products that are deactivated on BigBuy or removed from the catalogue become private products and are no longer visible in the store. After 90 days we remove them from the store, once we make sure that they will not be in stock again.

• Do I have to configure CRON tasks?
  To correctly synchronise the store, a CRON task must be configured on the server. CRON tasks are tasks that are executed automatically every now and then. If you do not know about CRON tasks, you can ask your server support to help you with the configuration.
