Ingram Micro US/CA as a Source
Summary
Ingram Micro US/CA is a pre-built IT hardware and consumer electronics distributor integration in Flxpoint, with separate connectors for the US and Canadian markets. It connects via FTP for inventory (Get Inventory Primary and Secondary) and via a separate OAuth API connection for order operations (Send Fulfillment Requests, Get Shipments, and Get Invoices). Select the Ingram Micro US or Ingram Micro Canada connector that matches your account — see the separate Ingram Micro US/CA with Etilize article if you have an Etilize enrichment agreement.
Ingram Micro US/CA uses two connection types depending on the operation: an FTP connection for inventory, and a separate OAuth API connection for order operations. Add an Ingram Micro source (choosing the US or Canada connector for your account), start configuring an operation, and when Flxpoint prompts you click + New Connection, enter the values, then Test Connection → Save Connection.
support@flxpoint.com.Two separate connection types — FTP for inventory, OAuth API for fulfillment
Inventory feeds use FTP credentials (FTP Host, FTP User, FTP Password). Fulfillment operations (Send Fulfillment Requests and related order ops) use OAuth credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, and Customer Number. The Customer Number is your Ingram Micro account number. Configure each connection type separately for the operations you need.
Get Inventory (Secondary) supports both API and FTP connection methods
Using the direct connection method, Get Inventory (Secondary) can be synced through either the API or the FTP connection — you can use whichever of the two connection methods you prefer to sync the inventory data.
Separate connectors for US and Canada — select the correct one for your market
Ingram Micro US and Ingram Micro Canada are separate integrations in Flxpoint. When adding the source integration, select the connector that matches your Ingram Micro account region. If you operate in both markets, configure two separate sources — one for US and one for Canada — each with their respective credentials.
Environment toggle (Production / Sandbox) applies to API-based operations
The OAuth API connection includes an Environment selector. Use Sandbox for initial testing of order operations and Production for live order submission. This toggle applies to fulfillment operations only — FTP inventory feeds do not have a sandbox mode.
