INTEGRATION WITH A WHOLESALER
Store integration with a wholesaler: products, prices and stock update themselves.
If you sell a supplier's goods, you should not update prices and stock by hand. I prepare the import and synchronisation of the catalogue from the wholesaler's XML, CSV or API into a WooCommerce store, with field mapping and a report of faulty records.
I build this to order, around your rules. Describe your project and I will reply with questions and a preliminary quote, usually within one business day.
- XML, CSV, API
- Mapping of categories and variants
- Error report
WHEN IT HELPS
The store catalogue drifts away from the supplier's offer
Typical problems when selling a wholesaler's goods.
You sell what is not there
Stock at the supplier changes faster than you correct it in the store.
Prices are out of date
A change in wholesale prices means manually updating hundreds of products.
Categories do not fit the store
The wholesaler's structure differs from yours, and the import makes a mess.
What import and synchronisation include
The scope depends on the quality and form of the supplier's data. First I look at a sample file or the API documentation.
- 01
Product import
Names, descriptions, photos, EAN codes and parameters from the wholesaler's file or API.
- 02
Prices and margins
Converting wholesale prices to store prices according to your rules.
- 03
Stock levels
Regular updates of availability, marking unavailable products.
- 04
Categories and variants
Mapping the wholesaler's structure onto your store's categories and variants.
- 05
Recurring updates
A sync schedule matched to how often the supplier makes changes.
- 06
Monitoring
A report of faulty records and a notification when the supplier's file changes or does not arrive.
SEE FOR YOURSELF
Catalogue sync from a wholesaler's file
Run the sync and see which products changed. You can also add a faulty record to the file.
The demo requires JavaScript.
The products, prices and file are fictional. This is a simulation of how it works, not a connection to a real wholesaler.
This is just an example. I will build it around your case.
You do not need a specification. A few sentences about what should work is enough.
What the rollout looks like
- 01
The supplier's file or API
I look at a sample file or the API documentation and check what is missing for the import.
- 02
Mapping and rules
We agree categories, variants, margins and what to do with unavailable products.
- 03
Build and first import
I import the catalogue on a copy of the store so that you can check the result before it goes live.
- 04
Schedule and monitoring
We switch on the recurring updates together with the report of faulty records.
