Specification
“Stock Items” is the shop’s own product database, supplemented from site’s admin area. Products can further be seen in their particular categories in the storefront, put into shopping cart, ordered, and etc. Whereas products from Taobao are transmitted directly from product aggregator site, “Stock Items” are stored on Opentao services.
How it Works
Technically “Stock Items” represent a separate product source along with Taobao which delivers data from its database. Products from various sources differ in prefixes to identifiers, e.g. tb-15426685266 and oti-25.
Adding products in admin area can be done manually as well as with help of Taobao link. At that, if a product is added using Taobao link, product information is cashed and saved on the site, even if the product would be deleted from Taobao afterwards.
Categories
Products from the module are collected into two separate catalogue categories. You have to options: you can use two catalogues (separate “Stock Items” catalogue and Taobao products catalogue) or unified catalogue where products from the module and Taobao are divided to different categories. In other words any category from module’s catalogue or catalogue as a whole can be added to unified product catalogue. There’s only one restriction: only the products from one source are allowed in one category (either Taobao or Stock, or from any other product aggregators later on).
...
Additional data, such as image list, characteristics, configuration, etc., are to be added afterwards.
Search
Search covers all the catalogue categories, including any product aggregators. If certain category is opened, search will be performed within this particular category only. Thus, if “Stock Items” are the separate section of the catalogue you can search only among these products.
Order and Additional Order
...
Additional orders are possible to make only into aggregator’s corresponding orders.

An added product is displayed in the selected category. Please note that the quantity and product price (price is specified in internal accounting currency) you can edit directly in product listing without entering the editing mode:
