How do I configure the EAN Source in the bol.com plugin?

In this article, we'll explain how to configure the EAN Source in the bol.com plugin settings.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The bol.com plugin allows you to configure an EAN source for your products. The EAN source determines where the plugin retrieves the EAN code for your products. You can set the source to one of the following locations:

  • Default

  • Product Custom Field

  • Product SKU

  • Product Attribute

Configuring the EAN Source in the Plugin

The bol.com plugin allows you to configure the EAN Source in its settings. Additionally, you can set a unique EAN code at the product level for specific cases. Let’s first go through the steps to configure the EAN Source in the plugin settings.

Set the EAN Source in the Plugin Settings

  1. Log in to your WordPress backend and navigate to the bol.com plugin settings.

  2. Go to the Synchronization tab.

  3. Under the Products section, locate the EAN Source dropdown menu.

  4. Select your desired EAN Source from the list.

  5. Click Save Changes to apply your settings.

Great! You’ve now successfully configured the EAN Source in the plugin settings. Next, we’ll cover how to set a unique EAN code at the product level, which is useful if one or more products have their EAN in a different location.

Set an EAN Code at the Product Level

  1. In your WordPress backend, navigate to the WooCommerce Products page.

  2. Edit the product for which you want to set a unique EAN.

  3. Scroll down to the Product Data section and click on the bol.com tab.

  4. Check the box labeled Manage EAN?.

  5. Enter the desired EAN code in the provided field.

  6. Save your changes by clicking Update on the product.

Important: aren't you able to configure the EAN field? Then the product must be unpublished first. To do this, use the Bulk Action: Bol Delete.

You’ve now configured the EAN Source both at the plugin settings level and at the product level. This ensures flexibility when managing EAN codes across your WooCommerce store.
