Setting Up Automatic Updates:

1. Navigate to "Update Stock" page
2. Configure Settings:

- Set API call delay (default: 500ms recommended)
- This delay prevents rate limiting issues
3. Enable Scheduled Updates:

- Click "Save Settings"

4. Test First:

How Stock Updates Work:

- Queries warehouse inventory by SKU
- Updates Shopify inventory levels accordingly

What Gets Updated:
- Only products from Stanley/Stella (identified by vendor)
- Inventory quantities at your selected warehouse
- Available quantity vs total quantity
- Updates all variants for each product

Troubleshooting Stock Updates:

If stock shows 0:
- Check warehouse location is correct

- Use Debug page inventory checker to verify API data
- Check that credentials are valid

If updates aren't running:
- Verify Premium plan is active
- Check scheduled task is enabled
- Review last run time in Update Stock page
- Try running manual update first

If some colors don't update:
- Some new colors may need time to appear in API

Linguix - Search & Translate

What is Linguix and how does it work with Translate & Adapt?

Linguix is a translation management app that enhances Shopify's built-in Translate & Adapt app. While Translate & Adapt provides the translation infrastructure, Linguix makes it easy to manually translate product fields and metafields across multiple products at once. Think of Translate& Adapt as the foundation and Linguix as the powerful tool that helps you efficiently manage translations. All translations made in Linguix are saved directly to Translate & Adapt, so they're fully compatible with Shopify's native translation system.

Need Help?
Contact us at info@ekommissar.com

Do I need Translate & Adapt installed to use Linguix?

Yes, Shopify's free Translate & Adapt app must be installed and configured before using Linguix. You'll also need to enable at least one additional language in your Shopify Admin underSettings→ Languages. Linguix works as an enhancement to Translate & Adapt, making it easier to translate custom metafields and bulk translate products, but it relies on Translate & Adapt's infrastructure to store and display translations on your storefront.

Need Help?
Contact us at info@ekommissar.com

What's the difference between the Free plan and Pro plan?

The Free plan includes access to all translation features(product fields, metafields, SEO fields, options) but limits you to translating1 product at a time. This is perfect for stores with smaller catalogs or occasional translation needs.The Pro plan ($9.99/month) unlocks bulk operations that save massive amounts of time:

  • Select unlimited products (50, 100, 200+) and translate them all at once
  • "Apply to all" feature lets you type a translation once and copy it to all selected products instantly
  • Select entire pages of products with one click
  • Ideal for stores with hundreds of products or frequently updated content

Need Help?
Contact us at info@ekommissar.com

Can Linguix translate metafields?

Yes! Linguix automatically detects all product and variant metafields in your store, including custom metafields created by other apps or manually added. This is one of Linguix's key features—many translation tools struggle with metafields, but Linguix makes it easy to translate them just like any other product field. Both Free and Pro plans can translate metafields, with Pro offering the ability to bulk translate the same metafield across hundreds of products in minutes.

Need Help?
Contact us at info@ekommissar.com

Does Linguix provide automatic AI translation?

No, Linguix is designed for manual translation only. This ensures complete control over translation quality and accuracy, which is essential for brand voice, technical terms, and culturally appropriate content. By focusing on manual translation, Linguix allows you to maintain the highest quality standards while providing powerful bulk editing tools to make the process efficient. If you need machine translation, you can use other services to generate translations and then paste them into Linguix for bulk application across your products.

Size Chart Pro

How do I display a size chart on my product pages?

After installing Size Chart Pro, go to Online Store > Themes > Customize. Open a product page template, then add the Size Chart Pro block: click "Add block", find "Apps", and select "Size Chart Pro". Place the block where you want the size chart to appear (typically near the size selector or product description). Save your changes. The chart will only appear on products that have size measurement data in their variant metafields.

Need Help?
Contact us at info@ekommissar.com

Why is the size chart not showing on my product?

The size chart appears only when your product has measurement data. This data is stored in product variant metafields. Ensure you have run the metafield setup in the Size Chart Pro app (Setup page) and that your variants have values for at least one measurement field (e.g. Waist, Length, Chest) in either cm or inches. If your product has no size variants or no measurement metafields populated, the block will not display a chart. Use the "Skip and sync all" option if you are using a feed or bulk import to populate metafields later.

Need Help?
Contact us at info@ekommissar.com

How can I change the labels in the size chart (e.g. "Waist" to "Belly")?

Use the Custom Labels page in the Size Chart Pro app. There you can enter optional custom labels for each measurement field (e.g. Waist, Length, Bust). These labels replace the default table headers in your size charts. Leave a field blank to keep the default label. Save your changes and the updated labels will appear on your storefront.

Need Help?
Contact us at info@ekommissar.com

Can I show measurements in both centimeters and inches?

Yes. Size Chart Pro supports a unit selector (cm/inches) when you have both metric and imperial data for the same measurement types on your variants. For example, if you populate waist_cm and waist_in on your variants, customers will see a toggle to switch between units. Populate the corresponding metafields (e.g. *_cm and *_in) for the measurements you want to offer in both units.

Need Help?
Contact us at info@ekommissar.com

Where does the size chart data come from?

The size chart data comes from product variant metafields. Size Chart Pro installs metafield definitions (e.g. custom_variant.waist_cm, custom_variant.length_cm) when you run the setup. You then need to populate these metafields for each variant, either manually in Shopify Admin, via a bulk import/CSV, or through a product feed/integration. The app reads the values from your variants and renders them as a table. It does not create or manage the data itself—you control the source and values.
