Once you have a Product configured as desired in Shopify, you can then choose to import it to Product Rentals Pro. This can be kicked off in one of two ways, described below.
Go to the "More Actions" button at the top of the Product screen within your Shopify admin, then select "Configure in Product Rentals Pro". This will take you to the Products screen within Product Rentals Pro, and show a banner like the below. From there you can click "Click here to confirm the product and start the import", which will open the Product Import dialog and pre-filter to the Shopify Product you arrived from.
Go to the "More Actions" button at the top of the Product screen within your Shopify admin, then select "Configure in Product Rentals Pro".
This will take you to the Products screen within Product Rentals Pro, and show a banner like the below.
From there you can click the Import Product button which will open the Product Import dialog and pre-filter to the Shopify Product you arrived from.
Then use the search to find the relevant Product(s). You can select up to 50 Products to import at a time via this method.
Tip: Special filters can be applied to the search field on the Product Picker popup. This can be especially useful if you're doing your initial bulk import, and your store has a big mix of rental/non-rental products.
For example, you could enter collection:"All Rentals", where "All Rentals" is the name of one of your collections.
Or if you use the Shopify Product Type to distinguish rental products, you could use product_type:"rental product" , where "rental product" is the Shopify Product Type you use for your rental items.
Once you've selected Products, click the Select button. The Product Import dialog will close and you'll see the the Importing... indicator at the top right of screen.
Depending on how many Products you've selected, this may take a little while.
Once done the page will display a confirmation message and your newly imported Products will appear below, ready to be configured for rentals.
After import, you may see a popup saying new variant options have been discovered. This will happen when importing your first ever product to PRP, but also if you import any product that has variant options that aren't on any other products you've imported before.
Any new options found will default to Affects Units. If any of the options are the option you've set up to represent the number of days the product is being rented for, then set that one to Affects Duration.
This can always be changed from the Options & Variants Settings screen, and more detailed explanation of the settings is also on that page. See also Setting up your Products in Shopifyfor information on creating a duration variant option on your products.
This will show you a list of all products in your store, and it will split them up into two lists, Products that have been imported into Product Rentals Pro, and ones that haven't.
This is especially useful for locating Products you might have missed, or forgotten to import.
Go to the Product Rentals Pro app, then go to Products from the app menu, then click the "Import Products" button at the top right of screen.
The Product Picker popup will show all Products in your Shopify, including ones that have already been imported into Product Rentals Pro. If you want to find Products that haven't been imported yet, try using the
