SellerCloud is a powerful multichannel eCommerce platform that helps unify product, inventory, and order management across multiple marketplaces. By connecting SellerCloud as a sales channel in Flxpoint, you can streamline your listings, orders, and inventory processes in one centralized solution. This integration ensures consistent product data, efficient order fulfillment, and real-time updates to keep your business running smoothly.
How To Connect
Listing Operations
The primary operation handles the bulk of your inventory management needs, while the secondary operation allows for more detailed control, such as focusing on specific products or updates.
Sync and Link Listings
The Sync Listings operation is currently only available for “Link Listings.” This means you can connect Flxpoint listings to existing SellerCloud products—matching them by SKU, EAN, UPC, etc.—but cannot yet update prices or quantities on SellerCloud products through Flxpoint. Linking preserves your existing product data in SellerCloud while allowing Flxpoint to recognize and manage those products without publishing new listings.
Begin by selecting SellerCloud as your Integration Type. Provide your SellerCloud credentials (e.g., API Bearer Token, Server ID, etc.) if prompted, then click Save and Proceed.
- Listing Variant fields (e.g., SKU, ASIN, UPC, GTIN, MPN)
- SellerCloud Product fields (e.g., Manufacturer SKU, UPC, EAN, ID)
When finished, click Save and Proceed to continue.
Unlike other operations, Sync & Link Listings does not require a dedicated mapping template for fields. The only “mapping” involved is the Linking Priority (SKU, UPC, etc.) that Flxpoint uses to identify and connect your listings to existing SellerCloud products.
After confirming your settings and linking priority, click Save and Complete. The integration will then link each Flxpoint listing to the corresponding SellerCloud product based on your defined matching rules.
Order Operations
It submits orders to vendors for fulfillment and subsequently imports the shipment details, ensuring an integration between order processing and shipment tracking.
Get Orders
The Get Orders integration retrieves new orders from SellerCloud and imports them into your Flxpoint system. This automated process ensures that your order data is always current, streamlining your order management.
The Company ID identifies the SellerCloud account or sub-account to pull orders from. Enter your Company ID under the Get Orders settings. If you’re unsure of your Company ID, please contact SellerCloud support.
In Flxpoint, specify how orders should be fetched and how their statuses are set. Key settings include:
Click Save and Proceed once these settings are defined.
When configuring your mapping template in Flxpoint for SellerCloud orders, you will see several options to determine how data is transferred. Here is a detailed breakdown:
Mapping Template Editor Basics:
• Don’t Map: Leaves the field unmapped so no data is transferred.
• Set to Empty: Clears out any existing data for that field.
• Field: Maps a specific SellerCloud field to the corresponding Flxpoint field.
• Value: Allows you to set a static or custom value (e.g., “US Only”).
• Mapping Set: Uses a predefined set of mappings for efficiency.
• Rules: Provides conditional logic for advanced scenarios.
SellerCloud Fields You Can Map:
A. SellerCloud Billing Address:
– City, Company Name, Country Code, Country Name, First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Postal Code, State Code, State Name, Street Line 1, and Street Line 2.
B. SellerCloud Shipping Address:
– City, Company Name, Country Code, Country Name, First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Postal Code, State Code, State Name, Street Line 1, and Street Line 2.
C. SellerCloud Order:
– Grand Total, Order Source OrderID (unique order identifier), Shipping Service, Shipping Total, Tax Total, and Time of Order.
D. SellerCloud Order Item:
– Adjusted Site Price, Display Name, Original Base Price, Product Id, Quantity, Site Price, and Weight.
Advanced Settings:
In Advanced Settings you can configure Personal Identifying Information Retention. Options include retaining data indefinitely, or automatically clearing it 30, 60, or 90 days after shipment.
Tips for Configuring Your Template:
1. Start by mapping all required fields (e.g., Order ID, Customer Name, Address).
2. Use the “Value” option for static data when needed.
3. Ensure both Street Line 1 and Street Line 2 are mapped for complete addresses.
4. Review optional fields to streamline the data import process.
5. Consider using “Rules” for conditional mappings if your workflow requires it.
6. Save and test your mapping configuration to ensure accurate order imports.
After configuring your settings and mapping template, choose to run the Get Orders integration manually or schedule it to run at regular intervals (e.g., hourly or daily). All scheduling is set to UTC by default.
Sync Orders
The Sync Orders integration connects Flxpoint with SellerCloud to update your order shipment statuses. When an order is fulfilled in Flxpoint, shipment details—including tracking numbers and carrier information—are sent to SellerCloud. Note that once shipment data is transmitted, SellerCloud will mark the order as “Fully Shipped.”
SellerCloud currently does not support partial shipments. If an order is partially fulfilled in Flxpoint and that shipment data is sent to SellerCloud, the platform will mark the entire order as “Fully Shipped.” Multiple tracking numbers can be passed to SellerCloud, but partial fulfillment statuses (e.g., partially shipped vs. fully shipped) are not distinguished. If your workflow relies on partial shipments, please keep this limitation in mind when syncing orders to SellerCloud.
When an order is updated in Flxpoint, the Sync Orders integration performs the following steps:
In Flxpoint, configure your mapping template to correctly pass shipment data to SellerCloud. Key fields to map include:
Save your mapping template after configuration. The template is used during each sync to ensure that the data is formatted correctly for SellerCloud.
