Mintsoft

Installing the Mintsoft Plugin

To add the Mintsoft Plugin to your Channels account, kindly adhere to the following steps:

1. Access your account and go to the left side of the screen. Click the "Stores" button.
   
2. To edit an existing store, click the edit button on the right side. If you need to create a new store, click "+ ADD" above, name it, and use the edit button to make changes.
   
3. Go to the Plugins section and Click "+ ADD" to begin the installation.
   
4. A window will appear in the centre of the screen. Choose "Mintsoft" from the list of available channels.
   
5. Provide the required information:
   • Plugin Name: Input a suitable name in the designated field. Select a meaningful name to you, possibly aligning with your store's name, for clarity in future order references.
   • Username: Please enter your Mintsoft account username.
   • Password: Please enter your Mintsoft account password.
   • Warehouse (Get Stock Level & Push Order): This option allows the plugin to retrieve real-time stock levels and send new orders for fulfilment from the specified warehouse.
   • Client ID (Push Order): This ID associates orders pushed from your store with your specific client account in Mintsoft, ensuring they are correctly attributed and processed.
   • Courier Services (Push Order): This specifies which courier services should be used when pushing orders from your store to the warehouse. It ensures the correct delivery method is applied based on your shipping configurations. This must correspond to the courier services set up in your Mintsoft account to avoid mismatches and delivery issues.
   • Stock Management:
     • Add Products to Whistl:
       • Activate this function to synchronise your store products with Whistl. Enabling it creates your store products within the Mintsoft system.
       • For example, suppose you intend to retrieve products from a sales channel like TikTok and transfer the product data to Whistl. In that case, you must initially activate the product download option from the sales channel. Subsequently, enable the "Add Products to Whistl" option to ensure the products are first added to Channels. At this point, the system transmits the product data to Whistl. Follow these steps precisely to ensure the products are generated in Whistl.
     • Download Products: This feature can fetch product information from the Whistl plugin and generate corresponding Store products. It also retrieves product quantities from Whistl every 3 minutes, updating the plugin quantities accordingly.
     • Auto Sync Stock: This functionality ensures that stock levels across all channels under the store linked to this plugin are regularly updated with quantities received from the Whistl plugin every 3 minutes.
   • Order Management:
     • Exclude Unfulfillable Orders: Enabling this feature excludes orders destined for Mintsoft based on stock availability. When activated, it evaluates the stock levels of products within an order. If any product within bundles, kits, or grouped products requires more stock, Mintsoft withholds the order from being processed. This functionality also prevents accepting orders not present in Mintsoft or those lacking sufficient stock. For Bundle, Group, or Kit products, the system disassembles them into individual products, assessing stock levels per product. If any single product lacks adequate stock, the entire order is held back from being despatched to Mintsoft.
     • Deduct Stock via Orders: Adjusts the Mintsoft stock levels dynamically as orders are processed.
6. Once all fields are populated, finalise by selecting "Save" at the bottom right.
   
7. Activate the connection from the top of the screen using the "Is Active" button.
