Create manufacturers in Shoporama

In Shoporama, you can create manufacturers and associate them with your products. This is useful for complying with legal requirements regarding product information and for providing customers with information about the manufacturer.

Create a manufacturer

1. Click on Products in the top menu
2. Click Manufacturers
3. Click "Create New Manufacturer"
4. Enter the manufacturer’s name
5. Click "Create Manufacturer"

You can then fill in additional information: address, email, and website.

Manufacturers Outside the EU

If the manufacturer is based outside the EU, you must provide additional information. Click the "Manufacturer is outside the EU" button to enter EU contact information (name, address, and email within the EU).

Create manufacturers using AI

If you need to create many manufacturers at once—for example, when migrating from another system—you can ask an AI assistant to do it for you. Simply describe which manufacturers you have, and the AI will create them with name, address, email, and website all at once.

If you have a list in a spreadsheet or an email, you can paste the content directly into the chat. The AI will review the list and create the manufacturers, letting you know if any are missing information.

Examples of prompts you can copy:

Create the manufacturer Example Design ApS with address Example Road 12, 9999 Example City, email kontakt@eksempeldesign.dk, and website example-design.dk.

Here is a list of 8 manufacturers from my old system. Create them all in Shoporama: [insert list].

Show me all manufacturers missing an address or email so I can fill in the missing information.

Link manufacturers to products

Your products can be linked to a manufacturer:

1. Go to the product and click Edit
2. Find the “Manufacturer” dropdown
3. Select the correct manufacturer
4. Click Save

Display the manufacturer in your theme

To display manufacturer information on the product page, your developer must add the following Smarty code to your theme:

<{$manufacturer = $product->getManufacturer()}>
<{if $manufacturer}>
  <p><{$manufacturer->getName()|escape}></p>
  <p><{$manufacturer->getAddress()|escape}></p>
  <p><{$manufacturer->getEmail()|escape}></p>
  <{if $manufacturer->getWebsite()}>
    <p><a href="<{$manufacturer->getWebsite()}>">Website</a></p>
  <{/if}>
  <{if $manufacturer->getIsOutsideEu()}>
    <p><strong>EU Contact:</strong></p>
    <p><{$manufacturer->getEuName()|escape}></p>
    <p><{$manufacturer->getEuAddress()|escape}></p>
    <p><{$manufacturer->getEuEmail()|escape}></p>
  <{/if}>
<{/if}>
