Your Magento website can install the extension automatically using a key from web-to-print store extension page, but needs to be configured manually.

Once your web-to-print templates are imported into the Magento database you can create simple products for those templates. Only templates that have no matching products are used to create new simple web-to-print products. The products have only some of the required attributes populated. You need to use bulk editing to add prices, quantities, etc.

Once the web-to-print extension is installed and configured you can import the data from your ZetaPrints portal. All your catalogs and templates are imported initially. Only new and updated templates are imported on subsequent runs. Data import needs to be initiated manually. Read the rest of this entry »

Magento products can be linked to imported web-to-print templates using a tab on a product details page. This is convenient if you have existing products that need to be linked to templates or want to re-link to a different template.

Linking configurable products

Configurable products cannot be created automatically. You need to create them by hand and then link to templates.  More than one product can be linked to the same template.

Linking simple products

Simple products can be created by ZetaPrints web-to-print extension once templates are imported. Alternatively, existing products can be linked to templates the same way as configurable products.

Linking Magento products to web-to-print templates

• Log in to Magento as admin and navigate to Catalog / Manage products
• Chose a product from the list
• Select Web-to-print templates tab
• Find a template for the product and save the form

Check if the product displays a web-to-print form when you view it as a user.
