Software applications developed in various programming languages and running on different platforms can use Web Services as a way to standardize data exchange, allowing for Interoperability between systems. ProductServe (ShopWindow) API ProductServe API is a web-based service within Web Services, which allows for the development of software applications, based around our ShopWindow data. ProductServe API allows developers to access all of our product data in a way that facilitates easy integration into your current web architecture. Use of ProductServe API provides complete control on how ShopWindow data is displayed, but requires development resources to implement. In order to develop and build a robust solution using the ProductServe API, a developer must have a sound understanding of his/her development environment and web architecture. Web Services: ProductServe (ShopWindow) API To find out more about ProductServe API please login to your affiliate account and click on the "ProductServe Service" link within the "Web Services & Tools" menu. Alternatively, please contact our ShopWindow Support Team using the details at the end of this document. v3 Community Edition - Client Software Our ShopWindow Client Software allows quick and easy integration of the ShopWindow data within your website. Client Software has been developed using the SMARTY template engine, which separates presentation logic from business logic. This allows you to customise the presentation of your Client Software without editing the business logic, developing your own look and feel. Using your web editing skills, Cascading Style Sheets can be applied, layouts can be changed, and logos can be added to give your Client Software unique identity and branding. ShopWindow Client package is released under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) so you are free to alter the code and re-distribute it according to those terms. A forum for users to exchange template ideas and code is available at ShopWindow Forum Affiliate Interface Downloading v3 Community Client Software After clicking the Download button (highlighted in red) a window will open and prompt you to either "open" or "save" the ShopWindow Client Software. Selecting a template design Please select save and choose the desired location for the .zip file. Saving your ShopWindow Files Your ShopWindow Client Software automatically contains your system encrypted ShopWindow API password. This is to ensure that all of your appropriate commissions are tracked, reported and rewarded to you. Extracting the Zip File The ShopWindow Client software will be downloaded as a zip file. Before uploading the software to your web server, you must extract the files to a folder on your computer. Please navigate to the Zip File and double click on it. A window will open containing the ShopWindow Client Software, which can be extracted by clicking on the "extract all files" link within the menu located on the right. Extracting Client Software Select the destination of the file by browsing your computer hard drive. Selecting Client Software destination Once you click OK the files will be extracted to your hard drive, ready for you to upload to your web server (which must run PHP v.5.2 or above). Confirming your ShopWindow Credentials We recommend that you check your ShopWindow credentials within your [login to view URL] file. Open the directory containing your Client Software. Within this directory, please open the [login to view URL] file. This file can be opened using a HTML or Text editor, such as WordPad. Your [login to view URL] file should display your v3 MD5 password in a similar fashion: * SOAP API * */ define('API_KEY', '123dd5a8455131ca60ghdde3a05a343f54c39d28602a789b'); //Text from the [login to view URL] file for an example affiliate account In order to ensure that your Client Software will function as required when uploaded to your domain, please confirm the above password is correct. You can find this within your affiliate account - Navigate to the "Update Account Details" page and select the 'Change Password' tab. See the MD5 password entitled 'V3 MD5' Affiliate Account Passwords Information on how to update your password within your Client software can be found within the ShopWindow Technical Specifications & Support Guide. After you have confirmed your ShopWindow credentials, you can move on to uploading the Client Software to your Web Server. Upload package to Web Server The Client Software can be uploaded to your host server using an FTP Client such as Smart FTP or Core FTP. Please upload each of the files to your server, by drag and drop. Root Directory of Website (a) Affiliate Window recommends that the original file structure should be kept unchanged; however if you wish to place the ShopWindow files in a separate directory within the root ensure that you update the path names within the [login to view URL] page. Client Software Index Page The Client Software interface is provided as a complete web page that can be integrated as your website’s home page or as an additional page within your website. REMEMBER your website can only have one home page and this will be the index page within your root. If you choose to integrate Client Software as your home page then you must rename, replace, or delete your current index page. If you choose to integrate Client Software as an additional page within your site, you must rename the ShopWindow [login to view URL] page (ensuring that the file still remains a PHP file) and link through as required (or upload the files into a separate directory on your web server). Set Permissions on templates_c In order for your Client Software to output content and build templates, you must set the permissions on the templates_c directory. Within your FTP Client, navigate to the Smarty directory which is located at /smarty. Next, locate the templates_c directory, right click on it and select "properties".. Please set the permissions on the templates_c folder as follows: User = WRITE Group = WRITE Others = WRITE Root Directory of Website (b) Setting these permissions will result in the permissions protocol to be 777. Changing the properties of the templates_c folder Once this has been completed, click on OK to confirm the changes, and close the FTP Client. Completing the actions detailed in this guide will result in Client Software being uploaded to your web server. Testing Please load your website and navigate to the Client Software page to confirm a successful integration. Testing can be conducted on your Client Software by replicating a visitor’s action, such as: Searching for a product using the search field Browsing a category by selecting a category from the category list Clicking a product link to take you through to a merchant site If you are experiencing problems please refer to the end of this document for ShopWindow Support and contact details. Launching Once your ShopWindow setup is ready to go live there are a few optimisations you can make to ensure your site loads faster. The first is to turn on caching and it is also suggested you turn off force compile. This will mean you do not have to rebuild every file using PHP every time it is requested. These settings can be found in: /classes/[login to view URL] Line 68 and 70 contain (provided the code on this page has not been edited): #Caching $this -> force_compile = true; $this -> compile_check = true; $this -> caching = 0; $this -> cache_lifetime = 3600; Change to: #Caching $this -> force_compile = false; $this -> compile_check = true; $this -> caching = 2; $this -> cache_lifetime = 3600; The above changes will reduce the calls to the ProductServe API and will hopefully speed up your site noticeably. It is worth noting that if you make these updates before you are ready to go live any changes you make to your templates and/or PHP files may not go live instantly. This is because the smarty cache and force compile pre-builds your files and stores them in your /smarty/templates_c for fast retrieval.
