Introduction to JM Wholesale Get Inventory Integration
Hey there! Welcome to the JM Wholesale Get Inventory [Primary] integration guide. This guide is your friendly companion to connect your system with JM Wholesale, pull in their product inventory, and keep your stock levels spot-on. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro, we’ll walk you through every step with clear instructions, examples, and tips to make inventory management a breeze. Let’s dive in!
The JM Wholesale Get Inventory [Primary] integration helps you:
- Fetch product details like SKUs, quantities, and more directly from JM Wholesale.
- Align JM Wholesale’s data with your system’s inventory structure for seamless updates.
- Keep stock levels accurate by archiving or un-archiving products as needed.
Why It Matters: Accurate inventory means happy customers and fewer overselling headaches!
Here’s how the integration brings JM Wholesale’s inventory into your system:
- 1 Connecting: Links your system to JM Wholesale’s data source—no extra connection details needed!
- 2 Configuring: Set options like archiving unavailable products or scheduling automatic updates.
- 3 Mapping Data: Uses a mapping template to match JM Wholesale’s fields (e.g., “SKU”) to your system’s fields (e.g., “Parent SKU”).
- 4 Running: Fetches and updates inventory manually or on a schedule (e.g., daily at 6 AM UTC).
Example: Imagine JM Wholesale has a product with SKU “JM12345” and 50 units. The integration maps “JM12345” to your Parent SKU and sets Quantity to 50 in your system.
Pro Tip: The mapping step is key—spend a little time here to ensure your data flows smoothly.
Customize the integration with these settings:
- Archive/Un-Archive Inventory: Choose whether to archive products not in JM Wholesale’s feed (sets quantity to 0) or un-archive them (reactivates with mapped quantity). Default is “No.” Only enable if JM Wholesale is your main inventory source.
- Scheduling: Run the integration manually or schedule it (e.g., daily at 6 AM UTC) for automatic updates.
Scenario: If you set “Archive” to “Yes” and a product isn’t in JM Wholesale’s feed, its quantity becomes 0 in your system, preventing sales of unavailable items.
Recommendation: Keep “Archive” off if you use JM Wholesale as a secondary source to avoid accidentally zeroing out products.
Let’s set up the integration step by step:
- 1 Connect the Integration: Go to “Integrations” > “Get Inventory [Primary]” in your system. Select “JM Wholesale.” You’ll see: “No additional connection information needed.” Click “Save and Proceed.”
-
2 Configure Settings:
- Archive/Un-Archive: Set to “No” unless JM Wholesale is your primary source.
- Scheduling: Enable daily updates (e.g., 6 AM UTC) for hands-free inventory sync.
- 3 Create a Mapping Template: Map JM Wholesale’s data to your system’s fields (e.g., their “SKU” to your “Parent SKU”). We’ll dive into this below.
- 4 Run the Integration: Click “Run Integration” for a manual update or let it run on your scheduled time.
Pro Tip: Test with a manual run first to ensure your mappings are correct before scheduling.
The mapping template ensures JM Wholesale’s inventory data aligns with your system’s fields. Let’s break down what’s covered, how to use it, and provide specific mapping suggestions to get you started.
Interface Overview
- Screen labeled “JM Wholesale - Get Inventory [Primary].” Name your template (e.g., “JM Wholesale Inventory 1”).
- Buttons: Delete (remove template), Duplicate (copy template), Save (save changes).
- Two columns:
- From Value: Options like “Field,” “Value,” or “Don’t Map” for JM Wholesale’s data.
- To Inventory Parent Field: Your system’s fields (e.g., “Parent SKU,” “Quantity”).
What You Can Map
- Inventory Parent Fields: Main product details like Parent SKU (required), Title, Description, Brand, Categories, Images, and 100 Custom Fields.
- Inventory Variant Fields: Variant details like Master SKU, SKU (required), Quantity, Cost, Weight, UPC, and 100 Custom Fields.
Mapping Options
- Don’t Map: Ignore a field (e.g., skip “Description”).

Supported | JM Wholesale - Get Inventory [Secondary]
Introduction to JM Wholesale Get Inventory [Secondary] Integration
Hello! Welcome to the JM Wholesale Get Inventory [Secondary] integration guide. This guide is your go-to resource for connecting JM Wholesale as a secondary inventory source, pulling in their product data, and keeping your stock and pricing up to date. Whether you’re new to inventory management or a seasoned user, we’ll guide you through each step with clear instructions, examples, and tips to make the process smooth and stress-free. Let’s get started!
The JM Wholesale Get Inventory [Secondary] integration helps you:
- Fetch product details like SKUs, quantities, and pricing from JM Wholesale as a secondary source.
- Update existing inventory records to complement your primary inventory data.
- Keep stock levels and pricing accurate without overwriting critical primary data.
Why It Matters: Using a secondary source like JM Wholesale keeps your inventory robust, filling gaps from your primary supplier.
Here’s how the integration updates your inventory with JM Wholesale’s secondary data:
- 1 Connecting: Links your system to JM Wholesale’s data source—no extra connection details needed!
- 2 Configuring: Set options like archiving products or allowing new variant creation.
- 3 Mapping Data: Uses a mapping template to align JM Wholesale’s fields (e.g., “SKU”) with your system’s fields (e.g., “SKU”).
- 4 Running: Updates inventory manually or on a schedule (e.g., daily at 6 AM UTC).
Example: If JM Wholesale has a variant with SKU “JM12345-V1” and 50 units, the integration updates the matching variant in your system to reflect 50 units.
Key Note: As a secondary integration, it updates existing products unless you enable “Allow Create Variant.”
Customize the integration with these settings:
- Archive/Un-Archive Inventory: Choose whether to archive variants not in JM Wholesale’s feed (sets quantity to 0). Default is “No.” Keep this off for secondary integrations to avoid affecting primary data.
- Allow Create Variant: Enable to create new variants if they don’t exist in your system (default: “No”). Use cautiously to avoid unintended variant creation.
- Scheduling: Run manually or schedule automatic updates (e.g., daily at 6 AM UTC).
Scenario: If “Allow Create Variant” is “Yes” and JM Wholesale provides a new SKU “JM67890-V2,” a new variant is added to your system.
Recommendation: Set “Archive” to “No” to protect your primary inventory data from being zeroed out.
Let’s set up the integration step by step:
- 1 Connect the Integration: Go to “Integrations” > “Get Inventory [Secondary]” in your system. Select “JM Wholesale.” You’ll see: “No additional connection information needed.” Click “Save and Proceed.”
-
2 Configure Settings:
- Archive/Un-Archive: Set to “No” to preserve primary inventory data.

Diagnostic Tip: If tracking numbers are missing, check the Tracking Number mapping first, as it’s critical for customer updates.
