Internal Warehouse
Your own warehouse or store where you keep physical inventory in stock for fulfillment.
- You stock and ship items from your facility.
- Pick/pack/ship is handled by your internal team.
External Warehouse
An external 3PL where you keep inventory that they fulfill.
- 3PL ships your owned inventory.
- You replenish inventory to that partner.
Product Data Source
A data source of rich product content (images, titles, descriptions). Not a physical fulfillment source.
- You only need content enrichment (no fulfillment from this source).
For Wheel Pros: select Vendor Warehouse so you can send Fulfillment Requests and use their inventory for routing.
Step 2 — Vendor Set-Up

Step 3 — Order Fulfillment
Decide if this source is eligible to fulfill orders:

🚚 Phase 2: Shipping Methods & Source Location (Finish the Wizard)
+
Goal
Ensure orders can route to Wheel Pros by creating Shipping Methods that your channel options can map to.
Step 7 — Shipping Methods
Create a minimal set (e.g., Ground, Expedited, Priority). Keep Carrier/Method generic; the supplier will choose the actual service at fulfillment.
Step 8 — Source Location (Ship From)
Enter the Ship From address (address, city, state, postal code, country). Optional: contact name, phone, email.
Finish the Wizard
Review Steps 7–8, then click Save and Complete. Proceed to Phase 3 to create the Wheel Pros Integration.
🔌 Phase 3: Create the Wheel Pros Integration (after the wizard)
+
Open Integrations
From your completed Source, go to Integrations → Start Creating Integrations. Choose the operation to set up (e.g., Get Inventory or Send Fulfillment Requests).
Select Wheel Pros
Search Wheel Pros in the catalog (Connector or Supplier tab). Select it → Save and Proceed.
Enter Credentials (Wheel Pros)
The Wheel Pros connection uses standard account credentials:
- Username: your Wheel Pros API/portal username.
- Password: the password associated with that username.
How to get Wheel Pros API credentials
- Contact your Wheel Pros account manager or Wheel Pros Support and request API access for product/inventory & order workflows.
- Provide your company name and, if applicable, your Wheel Pros account number and intended use (inventory, pricing, orders).
- Wheel Pros will provision a Username and Password (or confirm your existing portal credentials for API use).
- Once received, enter the credentials here and click Test Connection.
Tips:
- Passwords are case-sensitive; paste carefully (no trailing spaces).
- If you plan to import pricing in multiple currencies (USD, CAD, etc.), mention this when requesting access so your account is configured accordingly.
- Some vendors require IP allowlisting. If your test fails unexpectedly, ask support whether your IP must be whitelisted.
Important: Keep credentials secure. If Wheel Pros resets your password, update the connection here and re-test.
Test & Save
Click Test Connection. If successful, click Save Connection.
If test fails:
- Re-enter the Username and Password to ensure there are no typos.
- Confirm with Wheel Pros that API access is enabled for your account.
- Ask whether any IP allowlist or rate limits apply and try again.
Next: After saving the connection, continue setting up your Wheel Pros integrations (e.g., Get Inventory, Send Fulfillment Requests, Get Shipments).

Get Inventory (Secondary)
Wheel Pros — Get Inventory [Secondary]
Supported
Introduction
Get Inventory [Secondary] updates pricing and on-hand quantities for Wheel Pros SKUs you already track. You’ll (1) connect Wheel Pros, (2) configure options, and (3) select your mapping template. This operation supports client pricing (and currency) and quantity updates. Multiple currencies are supported for client pricing (USD, AUD, GBP, CAD, EUR).
- Connect an Integration: choose Wheel Pros and enter Username and Password; click Test Connection then Save Connection.
-
Configure Settings:
- Archive/Un-Archive Inventory — optional. If enabled, items not present in the feed will be archived (qty set to 0) and un-archived if they reappear later. Do not enable here if already enabled elsewhere for this source.
- Allow Create Variant — optional. Leave No to update existing variants only; set to Yes if you explicitly want new variants created when missing.
- Advanced Settings — adjust only if you have a specific need.
- Define a Mapping Template: select your Wheel Pros secondary template (e.g., Wheel Pros Get Inventory Secondary), then Save and Complete.
- Run or Schedule: use Run Integration for ad-hoc runs, or toggle Scheduled to automate (UTC).
Note: Secondary is intended to update pricing/quantity. It does not add rich product data or images.
Use your template to map Wheel Pros feed fields to Inventory Variant fields:
- SKU ⇢ map to Part Number.
- Quantity ⇢ either map Total Quantity On Hand or specific warehouse quantity fields (e.g., “Quantity (1001 – DENVER, CO)”).
- Client Pricing (& Currency) ⇢ map price fields such as Cost Net Invoice, MAP, and/or MSRP. Client pricing with currency is supported; currencies available include USD, AUD, GBP, CAD, and EUR.
Optionally add Rules to transform values (e.g., choose a currency-specific price, round, or apply basic math) and use Mapping Sets/Lists if you need standardized lookups.
Operation Details

|---|---|---|
| Custom Fields (Variants Only) | Not Supported | Map any extra fields manually in the template if available in the feed. |
| Generic Pricing (& Currency) | Not Supported | Use the client pricing fields instead. |
| Client Pricing (& Currency) | Supported | Supports USD, AUD, GBP, CAD, and EUR. |

| Archive Support | Supported | Optional archive/un-archive available in settings. |

Tips
- If you only need totals, map Total Quantity On Hand and ignore per-warehouse fields.
- Use a single, clearly named mapping template per currency strategy to avoid confusion.
- Schedule runs at a cadence that matches Wheel Pros update frequency; remember all schedules run in UTC.
Troubleshooting
- No price updates: confirm the template maps a supported client pricing field and that the currency selection (if used) matches your target output.
- Unexpected zero quantities: check the archive/un-archive setting and confirm the SKU exists in the current feed.
- Missing SKU: set Allow Create Variant to Yes only if you intend to create new variants from this operation.

Totals don’t match my system.
Verify decimal handling (implied vs explicit) and check SAC freight lines.
