In this article, you will learn about the shared product inventory across all languages<\/strong> feature. This functionality is ideal for multilingual online stores where products are shared and displayed consistently across different languages, ensuring a unified inventory management system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get started, you first need to log into the web builder through your Online Control Panel. Unsure how to do so? Follow our guide HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To enable the function – in the administration of your project, click Store settings < General settings<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step Two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to Shared product inventory across all languages<\/strong> < Edit<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step Three<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Click Yes<\/strong>, then select the language version where you want to keep your products<\/strong> and confirm with Save<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step Four<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The selected language version where you want to keep your products<\/strong> is the administration language of your website, meaning the language in which the default content of individual product items will be displayed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMPORTANT:\u00a0<\/strong> If the shared inventory is turned off and you enable it, you will need to select one language from which all products will be retained. This language will be unified across all others, and products will be removed from the other language versions.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Setting the Language Versions of Individual Products<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Click Products<\/strong> in the editor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step Two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can find the switch for language versions in the Products<\/strong> section. Additionally, the indicator of the current language is displayed next to the product names. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can also find the switch directly in the individual product settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The individual product settings within the shared product inventory are divided into language items<\/strong> and non-language items<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Language items<\/strong> are product parameters that can vary for each language version. These include the product name, short description, product label, title, URL, meta descriptions, keywords, variant group name, and variant names. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you edit or delete a language item, the changes will only apply to the specific language<\/strong> and will not be reflected in other languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

TIP<\/strong>: If you fill in one of the parameters of language items in only one language version, you will be notified in the editor with the following message.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Non-language<\/strong> items are parameters that remain unchanged for all languages. These are price, product photos, categories, product visibility, product number, product availability, product weight, product size and comparative price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

IMPORTANT<\/strong>: If you delete or edit a non-language item, the change affects all language versions of the product.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

TIP<\/strong>: The difference between language<\/strong> and non-language<\/strong> items<\/strong> can be identified by the indicator of the current language. Language items always have this indicator, while non-language items do not.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ATTENTION<\/strong>: If you delete a product, it will be deleted automatically in all language versions.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
