After you have created a publication and a Catalog, you are ready to place it on your website. This is accomplished using a 'snippet' and its associated embed code. Once the snippet is embedded in your website, you will be able to test the functionality of your dynamic product windows and other Commerce functionality.
Creating a Snippet
1) Log into the Zmags Publicator.
2) Click 'Snippets' on the left side of the page.
3) Click "Create new Snippet" at the top:
4) Enter a name for the snippet, as well as the URL where you intend to host it. (The URL is optional, but the 'Preview' button will not work without it.)
5) Choose whether you would like to create a Test or Live snippet.
- Test Snippet: For testing only, not intended to be customer facing.
- Live Snippet: For public-facing catalogs, also has support for scheduling a future switch to a different catalog.
6) Click 'Save' to create the Snippet.
7) In the 'Catalog' list, use the drop-down menu to select a catalog for your snippet to display.
8) Optionally select a second catalog to display at a later date, and use the "Start Date" column to select when the switch will be made.
Embedding the Snippet
To place the snippet on your website now that it's created, simply click the icon in the 'Publish' column to reveal the HTML embed code. Copy and paste this code to wherever you would like the catalog to appear on your website.
Note: It is not currently possible to delete a snippet via the Publicator. Please contact support@zmags.com if you need one or more snippets deleted.
