National Video Supply as a Source
Summary
National Video Supply is a wholesaler of media products, electronics, and accessories. The integration uses an API Key for Get Inventory (Primary), and an Email plus Password for Send Fulfillment Requests and Get Shipments, both provided by National Video Supply. It runs Get Inventory (Primary) for catalog, pricing, and quantity updates, Send Fulfillment Requests, and Get Shipments; for operation-level mapping guidance contact support@flxpoint.com.
National Video Supply uses two connection types, depending on the operation — an API Key for Get Inventory (Primary), and an Email plus Password for Send Fulfillment Requests and Get Shipments, all provided by National Video Supply. Add a National Video Supply source, start configuring an operation, and when Flxpoint prompts you click + New Connection, enter your Connection Name and the credentials for that operation, then Test Connection → Save Connection.

GIP daily for full catalog; Archive/Un-Archive to manage discontinued media titles
Media product catalogs can have high turnover as titles go out of print or become discontinued. Enable Archive/Un-Archive in GIP settings to automatically zero out items no longer in the National Video Supply feed.
