PoolCorp as a Source
Summary
PoolCorp is a supplier of swimming pool equipment, chemicals, and accessories, and a pre-built integration in Flxpoint. One API connection — Username/API Key, Password, and a Custom Url ID value, all provided by PoolCorp — covers Get Inventory (Primary and Secondary), Send Fulfillment Requests, and Get Shipments. For extended operation-level setup and mapping guidance, contact support@flxpoint.com.
PoolCorp uses a single API connection. Add a PoolCorp source, start configuring an operation, and when Flxpoint prompts you click + New Connection, enter your Username/API Key, Password, and Custom Url ID value, then Test Connection → Save Connection.
support@flxpoint.com.Three credential fields: Username/API Key + Password + Custom Url ID (required)
On the New PoolCorp Connection screen, enter a Connection Name, your Username/API Key, the associated Password, and the required Custom Url ID value provided by PoolCorp. Contact your PoolCorp account representative if you need the Custom Url ID value. Click Test Connection before saving.
Pool equipment is often seasonal — Archive/Un-Archive keeps your catalog current
PoolCorp's catalog includes seasonal products that may not appear year-round. Enable Archive/Un-Archive in GIP settings so that items absent from the current feed are archived (qty set to 0) automatically. They will be restored when they return to the feed. Enable on one job only (GIP or GIS) to avoid conflicts.
GIP daily for full catalog; GIS for frequent price/quantity refreshes
Run Get Inventory Primary on a daily schedule for a full catalog import from PoolCorp. Use Get Inventory Secondary for more frequent price and quantity updates. Enable Archive/Un-Archive on only one of the two jobs.
For operation-specific setup and mapping guidance, contact Flxpoint Support
