Magento 2 system settings

In addition to the optical design, Magento can be adjusted in detail in its configuration menu. You have already made some settings there. Under Stores - Configuration you can further customize your shop system. The most relevant modification options are briefly presented in an overview.

The configuration area consists of a menu on the left and a wide range of setting options on the right. Click on the individual designations to open the respective options.

GENERAL

Here you configure important superordinate properties of your shop such as country options or currency. You store contact data, determine the welcome page and other content pages.

CATALOG

The main focus here is on the presentation of your products: the number of products per page, the arrangement and the price positioning. Here you upload product image placeholders, which appear until you replace them with a real image, and make settings in the area of search engine optimization.

CUSTOMERS

This is where you configure the customer access, where you can, for example, under Customer Configuration define to which customer group you want to assign new customers, and which personal data you request. You permit the creation of wishlists and make basic settings regarding your Promotions. If you send Newsletters, general options are available here.

SALES

Under Sales you can manage, for example, checkout, minimum quantities and gift options. Please note that you can not design invoices and delivery notes here, because printQ uses a template file in the file system for delivery notes and invoices. Under the menu item Sales Emails you assign the transactional e-mails, which you created under System, to the sales process, for example for invoice, order confirmation, messages concerning coupons, etc. The creation of transaction e-mails is explained in the chapter of the same name (starting page 6.1). Tax rules for the whole shop are defined under Tax. In the Sales sub-menu, last but not least, you can configure payment providers and shipping methods. printQ and Magento both support a large number of payment options and providers, and we cover all the most popular ones of them, like PayPal, Payone, Easycash, DocData, Computop and Authorized.net, thus making all credit cards, direct debiting, online transfer and automated prepayment as well as all invoicing and financing payment methods feasible.

printQ and Magento are by default delivered with a connection to PayPal and Authorized.net, and of course common payment methods like advance payment or payment by invoice are supported as well. You can configure the latter, as well as the connection to PayPal, under Stores - Configuration - Sales - Payment Methods. Should you be lacking any of these payment providers, they can usually be added very easily. In this case, please address your request directly to our support.

SERVICES

The menu items Magento Core API and OAuth are standard functions of Magento, and they do not affect the functionalities of printQ in any way. You can leave the settings just as you find them upon installation of the system.

CLOUDLAB

This is another area in the Magento-system, where you can change settings relevant for printQ.

Configuration

Invoice Configuration

Here you can set invoice documents.

Load Projects

Here you can provide your customers with another dropdown for the form editor, if they save a project. These “Subtitle notes” contain specified supplementary information, in addition to the title and the description, and they are maintained in the Magento-product.

Project Save and Continue

If this function is activated, the form editor can automatically save a current project in frontend when you close it. The name used for the project should be stated in the Web2print settings. This information, as well as the description and ID, are only used internally.

Prinect connection

Enter the server address for the connection of Prinect-modules here, if desired

Core Calculation/Cost Center Number/Production Time/Distribute

Email Configuration/SSL Configuration You decide whether or not you want to use one of these functions by choosing yes/no.

Personalization Configuration

A print file has a trim box. Here you can choose whether the editing panel should be displayed with the trim box or not. The personalization has to remain editable in the configuration at all times, because otherwise the customer will not have access to an OTP editor. The loading logo will be used for the OTP editor. In the last step you can decide for how many days images uploaded by customers should be kept before they are deleted.

Personalization Fotolia Credentials and Personalization Social Credentials

Store your account data here, and you will be able to process photos and images from Fotolia, facebook or Instagram. Further information on this can be found in chapter 8.1.

Product Page Configuration

Here you can adjust settings for print product pages: Hide the “Add To Cart”-button on product pages of matrix products, let customers “Confirm print data”, activate project titles and have a summary displayed on the product page.

Invoice/Shipping

Activate/deactivate automatic invoicing and automatic shipping and define a minimum quantity for shipment to multiple addresses.

Distribute Run Type

Open Shop deactivates automated invoicing and shipment through the printQ-distribution process. Instead, printQ will only forward the order to production and send you a job ticket after the invoice has been created, either manually (for example after receipt of advance payment) or automatically by a payment connection (for example PayPal, Payone etc.). This way, printQ ensures that no order gets into production before it has been marked as paid. To generate an invoice, for example for advance payment orders after receipt of payment, click on Invoice in Sales - Orders. Activate e-mail dispatch to the customer by checking Email Copy of Invoice Information.

Closed Shop assumes that it is dealing with a B2B-shop, in which payment is usually handled via payment on invoice within framework agreements. Therefore, the printQ distribution process will automatically generate invoices once orders have been forwarded to production and you have received a job ticket. This is a fully automated process which does not require any manual interventions.

Impositioning

In the standard system, impositioning is limited to simple business cards on SRA3-sheets. Should you require adjustments here, our support team will be happy to help.

Production Methods Transfer

Enter an e-mail address for error messages here, in case the data transfer via FTP/SFTP should fail.

Personalize Editor

This is where you can adjust the appearance of the 3D-editor and the OTP editor (color and logo).

Supplier email

If you enter various e-mail addresses here make sure to separate them by a semicolon (see also the chapter about distribution workflow, starting page 3.1).

Personalization REST Server

Please do not change any of the settings here.

Product Preview

Always leave this setting on “yes”, because otherwise no icon for the personalized product will be included elsewhere (for example in the shopping cart).

Upload Config Options

If you wish to use preflight, please contact our support for configuration details. For this purpose you should prepare a preflight profile compatible with Pitstop Preflight 12. We can clarify details on special requirements in a personal conversation.

Nature Office

This is about climate-neutral printing. If you need more information about this topic please contact our support team.
