Settings ​

E-commerce → Settings lists the configuration values of your online shop. Each row has a key, a value and a short description. This page explains the keys you can change yourself, grouped by topic.

How values are stored

  • Yes/no settings are on with Yes (or true); anything else, including an empty value, is off. Exception: cart_merge_user_carts is on only with 1.
  • JSON settings must be valid JSON. Settings with a form show input fields instead of raw JSON.
  • Passwords and API keys are stored encrypted. Once saved, the value is shown masked and is never sent back to the browser; enter a new value to replace it.
  • A key that is not in your list is not set, and its default applies.

Settings managed by Pikselis

The connection between the shop and Pikselis Business (API address and key) is set up by Pikselis when the shop is created, so it is not listed here. Contact support if it needs to change. Some other technical keys (catalog sync schedules, caching, platform security switches) are also managed by Pikselis and are not described on this page.

Shop ​

KeyMeaning
shop_nameShop name, e.g. Demo shop.
page_urlShop website address, e.g. https://www.myshop.com. Used for return links from payment providers and links in emails.
shop_logoLogo image URL used in emails.
shop_contact_mailShop contact email. Also the fallback recipient for quote and net terms notifications.
analytics_retention_daysHow many days raw shop analytics events are kept. Totals are kept. Empty = kept indefinitely. E.g. 90.

Email ​

The shop sends order and account emails either through the Pikselis email service or through your own SMTP server.

KeyMeaning

mail_portSMTP server port, e.g. 587.
mail_usernameSMTP username.
mail_passwordSMTP password (stored encrypted).
mail_fromSender address, e.g. [email protected].

mail_localpartWith the Pikselis email service and your own verified domain: the part before @ of the sender address, e.g. orders → [email protected]. Default notifications.
mail_localpart_mapOptional different sender per email template, JSON, e.g. {"order_confirmation":"orders","quote_request_customer":"quotes"}. Templates not listed use mail_localpart. One sender for everything is usually better.
cfg_email_subscription_optionsExtra fields of the newsletter subscription form, e.g. { "requiredFields": { "womenCollection": "bool", "menCollection": "bool" } }.

Products and catalog ​

KeyMeaning
products_warehousesWarehouse codes whose stock the shop shows, e.g. ["Sand"]. Empty = all warehouses.

products_default_price_fieldWhich ERP price the shop uses, e.g. price2. Empty = the first price.
cfg_product_additional_pricesExtra ERP prices passed to the shop under another name, e.g. [{"fieldName":"price2","showFieldName":"shopPrice","active":true}].

products_query_map_addonsExtra conditions added to every product request to Pikselis Business, so the shop only shows selected products. See the example below.
products_filtersNamed product filters the storefront can use (recommended, discounted and so on). See the example below.
categories_filter_typeHow category product lists are filtered: inEshop (all shop products) or inEshopInWarehouse (only products in stock in products_warehouses). When products_warehouses is set and this is empty, inEshopInWarehouse is used.
facet_default_sort_modeDefault order of filter values for features left on “Inherit”: erp (order set in Pikselis Business), alpha (by name), smart (by number of matching products).

  { "name": "filter_quantity", "value": "1" }, { "name": "operator_quantity", "value": "moreOrEqual" },
  { "name": "filter_mainImage", "value": "" }, { "name": "operator_mainImage", "value": "notEmpty" },
  { "name": "selectMerged", "value": "1" }
]

products_filters example:

json
{
  "recommended": { "field": "recommendedProduct", "operator": "more", "value": "0" },
  "discounted": { "field": "isDiscounted", "operator": "contains", "value": "true" }
}

Older key names

Older shops may still have keys with a cfg_ prefix: cfg_products_warehouses, cfg_products_query_map_addons, cfg_product_custom_fields, cfg_product_filters, cfg_product_default_price_field, cfg_products_out_of_stock_behaviour. They still work. If both the old and the new key exist, the new one (without cfg_) wins.
