yotpo reviews not working in bigcommerce - bigcommerce

I need to add rich snippets in a big-commerce store including the ratings/reviews of the products and for generating reviews, I am using yotpo.
I have added the code for the rich snippets in the big-commerce store and everything is in order but still when I test it using google testing tool (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets) it does not show the reviews of the products.
For example, this is a link of a product with ratings
http://drillsandcutters.com/1-2-hss-split-point-black-and-gold-killer-force-kfd-jobber-length-drill-bit/
In the bigcommerce store it shows the ratings but in the GOOGLE Search it does not, not in the testing tool also
I have also checked the source code of the above products page and have seen that the "ratingValue" and "ratingCount" = 0.

The only way to do this is by moving/copying your reviews from Yotpo to Bigcommerce' product review system.
Your problem is that Yotpo stores and manages the reviews and injects them onto your product page via javascript. Google (mostly) ignores javascript on the page and thus is not seeing the reviews that are not truly part of the page.
So, you are left with leaving them on Yotpo and getting more reviews, moving them all back into Bigcommerce, or trying to mirror the Yotpo reviews in Bigcommerce.

Store on Google Shopping, Adwords and Merchant

I'm working on a store (shopify). I want to show my products on google shopping.
I have a feed on Merchant, connected with adwords. I setup a campaign with everything is needed.
The problem is, my store and my products, in categories like I have on store and adwords campaign, not showing the products or the store.
I don't have any ideas, I read all documention of google about it, and the problem continuous.
PS: If is possible, I wanna try add my articles on the showcase on google search (ex.: search by "Smartwatchs")
This may we way too late, but maybe it helps someone.
You said that your categories, as you have them in your store, weren't showing in Google Shopping.
I'd recommend:
A - making sure that you have assigned product types to your products in accordance with your store categories/sections (i.e. Clothing > Men's Clothing > Shirts)
B - clicking the "plus" icon to "subdivide" your product groups based on the product types you assigned.

Does ebay API allows to create a listing draft?

I would like to create a listing ebay draft as it is possible to do manually using this flow:
Go to the new listing sell creation page
Choose category id
Put some random data (title, description, etc.)
Close tab
You will see now unfinished draft, when you go to the new listing sell creation page.
Can I do the same thing using eBay api?
The reason of it is that I don't want to implement all functionality of addItem, currently.
eBay API will not allow to create draft listing.
when you call API for creating new listing, API needs all required fields value.
eBay Listing API provide one attribute PrivateListing.it will hide your product for selling.
If PrivateListing is true, designates the listing as private.customer can't see private listing.
eBay Listing API provide one more attribute ScheduleTime.
When you export product in eBay via API you can give ScheduleTime as well, eBay will active product for selling based on ScheduleTime.
You can make product inactive/draft using this alternative way.
http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/Reference/eBay/AddItem.html#AddItem
You can refer above link for eBay API.
As of now, I can confirm eBay does provide the API to create listing draft, though it's in beta at the moment.
POST - /item_draft/
Official doc is here
To my knowledge this cannot be done, since there are some pretty strict constraints around using the addItem API call, and eBay will throw an error if you don't complete the all the required fields. The required fields of addItem are numerous enough that if you could populate these fields, then you are already 90% of the way to completing your listing anyways.
If you are using Selling Manager Pro, you can create product templates which may be a way to accomplish what you are looking for.

Product and Review Schema data

I am trying to understand Schema data. My website has a Products page and a Reviews page. Do you know if I can implement enable the rich snippets for Reviews on a different page than the products? Can I 'hide' the reviews on the product pages? I am just trying to figure out the best way to implement.
If I have to redesign the markup for the products page to include the reviews, then that is what I will do
Yes, the documentation does ask for the reviews to be nested inside the item being reviewed.
"Make sure the review or ratings markup refers clearly to a specific product or service as shown in the examples above. Do this by nesting the review or ratings within the markup of another schema.org type — such as schema.org/Book or schema.org/LocalBusiness — or by using that schema.org typed element as a value for the itemReviewed property.

Test multiple-product purchase with sandbox PayPal

I have a webshop and im almost there, but I have a number of items for purchase which are downloadable content. I fixed so when a user has paid they are redirected to my pdt.php where they get a receipt, Now I written code for also displaying content if the item-id are == something. Now I wanna make a sandbox/test-purchase of all products that are downloadable ontent which are 28. I can create 28 buttons and have the id 1-28 but that seems stupid. How can I do this easier?
Check out the cart upload command method of sending transaction data to PayPal. It's similar to standard buttons except that you'll include all items in a single form.
Alternatively, if you're familiar with web service API's I'd recommend using the Express Checkout API. This gives you more freedom over your checkout and provides more advanced features as well.

Open Source Shopping Cart that Allows me to Add Many Attributes to Items?

I am trying to find a shopping cart that will allow me to add different attributes to an item then be able to save those attributes before the customer puts the item into the cart.
Similar to how http://folsomskis.com/custom has done it. They have a LOT of graphics for their skis, however, they do not have an add to cart option once everything is updated for the ski, they just have you fill out the form...
Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks!
in open source shopping cart will not allow you the entry of attributes. because it is having limited application. there are lot of companies in the market provides you the shopping cart solution, you can integrate the solution with M-commerce, F-commerce and partners like eBay, amazon and Other. there is a solution called " Nichesuite" from Nichepro technologies provides you a most affordable, user-friendly solution. With NicheSuite, you can capture and synchronise your database digitally for future reference. NicheSuite also allows a group of social media users to blog about products, and it also has 3D visualisation!
