Updating the size of new arrival puppies in your system is a crucial step before changing their status to either “published” or “coming soon.” This process ensures that the final price of each puppy accurately reflects the mandatory add-ons based on their size. Here’s a detailed guide on how to efficiently update puppy sizes:
Step-by-Step Process for Updating Puppy Sizes
Step 1: Access Pending Puppies
- Navigate to the products page on your system.
- Select the ‘Pending’ status to view all new puppies for the week.
Step 2: Review the Sizing System
- Understand that the size of a dog is typically tied to its breed, but manual overrides are possible based on specific criteria in your store.
- Review the sizing in your system to ensure it aligns with your store’s requirements.
Step 3: Check and Update Sizes
- Start by reviewing the sizes from the smallest category upwards (e.g., from ‘toy’ size).
- Identify any puppies that need a size change. For example, a Dachshund listed as ‘small’ might be more suitable as ‘toy’.
- Use the size column to make these adjustments.
Step 4: Update Size Categories
- Select the puppies that need a size change.
- Change their size category (e.g., from ‘small’ to ‘toy’).
- Update the system after each change to ensure the new size is saved.
Step 5: Verify Mandatory Add-Ons
- Remember that the size of the pet dictates the mandatory add-ons, such as different sizes of training or housebreaking kits.
- Ensure that each puppy’s size correctly corresponds to the appropriate add-ons.
Step 6: Repeat for Each Size Category
- Continue this process for each size category (toy, small, medium, large, giant), ensuring each puppy is listed under the correct size.
Step 7: Finalize and Prepare for Status Update
- Once all sizes are correctly updated, prepare to change the status of these puppies to either ‘published’ or ‘coming soon’.
- Ensure that the final price of each puppy reflects the correct mandatory add-ons based on their updated size.
