Testing the Integration#

In order to make sure that the integration is correctly set, it is important to go through the end-to-end testing process. To ensure a smooth integration, you need to test various scenarios by following these steps:

1. Prepare the Promotions File#

• Create an SFTP file that includes the following data:
  • Product Identifier (SKU or Barcode)
  • Promotion Start and End Dates
  • Discounted Price (must be lower than the original price)
  • Campaign Name
  • Reason
• Name the File correctly, otherwise the file will fail :
  • <prefix>_vendorID.csv for single vendor updates
  • <prefix>.csv for multivendor updates

2. Test Promotion Creation#

• Add a promotion for one or two products, ensuring that the price difference is minimal (e.g., a few cents would be enough) but still discounted.
• Push the file to the central server via SFTP.
• Verify the promotion details in Shops Promotions Plugin in our Partner Portal to check:
  • If the promotion was created correctly.
  • The scheduled start and end dates.
  • The reason and SKUs associated with the promotion.
• Cross-check in the Platform App to confirm that the discounted prices appear correctly.

3. Test Promotion Deactivation#

• Modify the same file used for activation but set campaign status = 0.
• Ensure that all other data remains unchanged; otherwise, the deactivation will not work.
• Push the updated file to the Central Server via SFTP.
• Verify in the Partner Portal and Platform App to confirm that:
  • The promotion has been removed.
  • The products are back to their original prices.

4. Final Review & Go Live#

• If all scenarios (promotion activation and deactivation) are successfully tested, the integration is ready to go live.
