FAQ
-
Do I need a PromoOpción account?
-
Yes. The plugin syncs products from the PromoOpción API. You need access credentials (URL, username and password) provided directly by PromoOpción. Contact them at promocionalesenlinea.net to request API access.
-
How many products can I sync?
-
The full PromoOpción catalog — currently around 1,700 products with multiple color variations each. There are no product limits.
-
Is sync automatic in the free version?
-
No. The free version supports manual sync only — click “Start Sync” whenever you want to update your catalog. Scheduled automatic sync (every 6h, 12h, or daily) is available in MX Sync Pro.
-
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
-
Previously synced products remain in your WooCommerce store as regular products. The plugin does not delete or modify products on deactivation. If you uninstall (delete) the plugin, it will clean up its own database tables and metadata, but the WooCommerce products stay.
-
Does it work with any theme?
-
Yes. Products are created as native WooCommerce variable products, fully compatible with any WooCommerce-compatible theme including Storefront, Astra, Flatsome, and others.
-
How does the pricing engine work?
-
The plugin takes the supplier cost and applies three steps: (1) your margin percentage, (2) IVA tax, and (3) rounding to the nearest step you define. For example: cost $100 + 30% margin + 16% IVA = $151.20, rounded up to $160 with a $10 step. You can choose ceiling, round, or floor rounding modes.
-
Can I change my margin after syncing?
-
Yes. Update your margin in the Pricing tab. In the free version, prices will update on the next manual sync. MX Sync Pro includes a bulk recalculation feature for instant repricing without re-syncing.
-
How do personalization techniques work?
-
The plugin supports screen printing (serigrafía), embroidery (bordado), laser engraving, and DTF. Each technique has a cost that can be per-unit or per-block (e.g., $1,400 per 100 pieces for screen printing). Customers select techniques on the product page and the cost is added automatically at checkout.
-
Does it support WooCommerce HPOS?
-
Yes. The plugin declares full compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (Custom Order Tables).
-
Where can I get support?
-
For free plugin support, use the WordPress.org support forum. For priority support, visit rootlabs.mx.
