Prerequisites

Why configure decoration process availability?

Availability rules let you decide where each decoration process can be used across your DecoNetwork platform.

Benefits include:

• Limit decoration methods to Business Hub for internal use.
• Make decoration methods available on customer-facing websites.
• Restrict decoration methods to selected stores or store groups.
• Offer different decoration capabilities across multiple storefronts.
• Prevent customers from ordering decoration methods that are not supported by a particular store.

Open the Availability settings

1. Log in to Admin.
2. Select Decoration Processes.
3. Click the decoration process you want to configure.
4. Select the Availability tab.

Configure decoration process availability

1. Choose where the decoration process should be available:
   • Business Hub only: Makes the decoration process available for internal users only.
   • Business Hub and Websites: Makes the decoration process available in Business Hub and eligible websites.
2. Configure website availability.
   • By default, you can prevent all websites from using the decoration process.
   • Add individual stores or store groups that should have access.
   • Enable or disable availability for each selected store or group.
3. Save your changes.

Best Practices

• Only enable decoration processes on websites that can actually fulfil those orders.
• Use store groups to simplify management when multiple stores share the same decoration capabilities.
• Restrict specialty decoration methods to the stores that offer them.
• Review availability settings whenever new stores are created.
• Test storefronts after changing availability rules to ensure customers see the correct decoration options.

Troubleshooting

A decoration process doesn't appear on my website

Verify that:

• Your website or store group has been granted access.
• The decoration process is enabled.

A decoration process appears on the wrong website

Review the availability rules and confirm the correct stores and store groups have been allowed or denied access.

FAQs

Can I make a decoration process available only in Business Hub?

Yes. Select the option that limits the decoration process to Business Hub only.

Can different websites use different decoration methods?

Yes. Availability rules allow you to enable or disable each decoration process for individual stores or store groups.

Can I disable a decoration process for every website by default?

Should I use store groups or individual stores?
