Introduction In a previous post and follow-up, I provided some background on using Liferay's Batch APIs to import products. I realize that for anyone that is new to Liferay's commerce capabilities this might be a little like trying to run before you walk so in this series of posts I am going to take a step back and walk through the process of creating and importing...

Introduction This is a quick follow up to my last post where I discussed how to use Liferay's batch APIs to import products.

About a year ago, Liferay introduced a new program that I have been actively participating in, Liferay Developer Services. But what is this program? Liferay Support When you are a Liferay DXP customer, you automatically get access to Liferay Support as part of the Subscription Services. Support is staffed by a great bunch of people that want to help clients resolve product-level issues....

Whenever I start working with a new client, I always share with them my three rules for effectively working with support: 1. Open tickets as soon as you think you will need Liferay Support. With each new ticket there is sometimes necessary "back and forth" in order to gather necessary contextual details, confirm what is being reported, etc. Opening tickets as...
