Frequently Asked Questions

Where I can find data-log for CRON?

CRON update data-log is stored in the var/log/ folder of Magento store. Newsletter subscribers synchronization log is saved in smly_customer_cron.log file and Abandoned Cart log is stored in smly_cart_cron.log.

How can I filter RSS-feed output by category and limit results?

You can access RSS feed by visiting ulr store_url/smaily/rss/feed and you can add parameters (category and limit) by appending them to URL separated with slashes. For example store_url/smaily/rss/feed/category/bikes/limit/10. Regular RSS-feed shows 50 last products.

How can I access additional Abandoned cart parameters in Smaily template editor?

Here is a list of all the parameters available in Smaily email templating engine:

• Customer first name: {{ first_name }};
• Customer last name: {{ last_name }};
• Store view: {{ store }};
• Store group: {{ store_group }};
• Website: {{ store_website }}.
• Is abandoned cart: {{ is_abandoned_cart }};

Up to 10 products can be received in Smaily templating engine. You can refrence each product with number 1-10 behind parameter name:

• Product name: {{ product_name_[1-10] }};

• Product description: {{ product_description_[1-10] }};

• Product image URL: {{ product_image_url_[1-10] }};

• Product SKU: {{ product_sku_[1-10] }};

• Product quantity: {{ product_quantity_[1-10] }};

• Product price: {{ product_price_[1-10] }};

Product price is the end price that the customer sees in the cart. If you have a special price set for the product, it will be shown here. This price also includes taxes and discounts.

• Product base price: {{ product_base_price_[1-10] }}.

Product base price is the price that is set in the product edit page. This price also includes taxes but no discounts.

Also you can determine if customer had more than 10 items in cart:

• More than 10 items: {{ over_10_products }}.

Troubleshooting

Regular export fails to run

Usually a good place to start would be to check Magento CRON's Schedule Ahead for value. We have found that value of 60 works the best, if you are running daily exports.

Changelog

2.8.1

Fixes an issue with cron scheduling using wrong interval for daily customer synchronization.

2.8.0

Notice! This version updates the price values in abandoned cart emails and RSS feed items to include taxes. These prices now match what customers see in the storefront. For B2B (business-to-business) stores, where tax-exclusive pricing may be expected, this behavior might not be suitable.

• Abandoned cart product_price and product_base_price now also include taxes.
• RSS-feed now shows prices including taxes.
• RSS-feed uses parent product URL-s for configurable products that are not visible individually.

2.1.0

2.0.0

This is a complete rework of the module. The aim was to make the module configurable by website, i.e. abandoned cart, newsletter subscribers synchronization, opt-in form and Smaily API could be configured for each website. Only reasonable solution was to rebuild the module from ground up, because most (if not all) of the functionality was "Default configuration"-centric.
