Setting Up Book Products with WooCommerce

In order to connect Mooberry Book Manager to WooCommerce, you need to tell WooCommerce which book the product relates to.

You can create one or multiple WooCommerce products for your books, depending on how you want to sell them.

For example, if you want your reader to receive all of the digital formats of your book with a single purchase (for example, Kindle, ePub, and PDF), you can do that with a single WooCommerce product.

If you want your reader to receive just one format (for example, just Kindle) per purchase, you can create multiple WooCommerce products, one for each format.

Finally, you also have the option to create a Variable product in WooCommerce to handle selling multiple formats with a single product.

When Mooberry Book Manager detects that you have WooCommerce installed, it adds a new section to the WooCommerce Product page titled MBM Connection:

If the product in WooCommerce should connect with a book in Mooberry Book Manager, choose Yes for this option.  

When you choose Yes to connect to a book from Mooberry Book Manager, the sections for adding the product description and the product image will be removed.  Mooberry Book Manager will take care of populating your product’s description and the book cover will automatically be used for the product image. 

Mooberry Book Manager will fill in the product’s description with the book’s summary:

The Additional Information tab will be populated with details about the book entered through Mooberry Book Manager:

An Excerpt tab will be added to display the excerpt entered in Mooberry Book Manager. This can be the text excerpt or the Kindle preview excerpt.

How you set up your product from here depends on whether you are using Simple Products or Variable Products in WooCommerce. Follow the instructions for the appropriate section.
