How do I create a separate product database in Copernica?

When you want to have up-to-date product information for campaigns, it is recommended to set up a separate product database in Copernica. This setup allows Connect to push product information to Copernica, keeping the information (and stock) in sync with what shops display.

On this page you have the following options:

Database data model

The database has been created to work with Connect master products. This database is intended to reflect all up-to-date product information and stocks, to send out more accurate mailings. This database is invaluable, especially for automated product mailings.

If you want to modify, add or delete fields in this product database please make sure to follow the best practices for field modification, to ensure no data is lost.

Setting up the product database

If you are connecting a new connector, it's easy to set up the product database straight away. Simply follow the Copernica onboarding guide. In this, it explains which options to select in order to create a product database alongside the default order and checkout database.

Adding product database to existing connector

If you want to add a separate product database to an existing connector, please contact support to help you set this up. It would be very helpful if you have an overview of the fields you want to export to Copernica ready, much like the data model displayed above.
