Setting up External Entry IDs can be done in three easy steps:
Step 1
Find the unique Product ID of your product in your e-commerce store. In some cases, this ID is exposed in product URLs such as the Shopify URL: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/os/using-themes/change-the-layout/find-variant-id
Step 2
In your ProductReview.com.au Brand Management Platform, navigate to the Catalog section and identify a ProductReview listing that you would like to assign an External Entry ID to.
