7. Once the linking process is completed you will be given the below message. The integration process is now complete. 

A few extra notes: 

• Make sure you select SINGLE PRODUCT ONLY or PRODUCT PER COLOUR - this will export your style information based on this preference. 
  If you select SINGLE PRODUCT ONLY, it will  display the style which contains multiple colours as one style instead per colour. 
  If you select PRODUCT PER COLOUR, it will display all colours as individual styles on your shop page.  
  
  
• Make sure also that you select RIGHT OPTION ALIGNMENT or BELOW OPTION ALIGNMENT - when exporting your products it will look at where to place the product descriptions. This will be contained either below or right hand side of the product page. See below images as reference. 
  
• Make sure that OPTION TYPE is selected. This controls the SIZE and COLOUR component for your product page.
  If you select DROP DOWN, it will look as per below. You will notice that both attribute types are drop down options.
  
  If you select RECTANGLE LIST, it will look as per below. You will notice that the size option is a rectangle list. It is recommended that the sizes are in rectangle list order as it presents the size options in a more clear way.
