Using the Cloud Retailer Supplier Pricing CSV Standard

Modified on Mon, 28 Jul at 8:31 AM

Overview

As a way of allowing future supplier pricing data to be entered into Cloud Retailer for advanced ordering, we've created a Supplier Pricing Comma Separated Value (CSV) Standard.


If you are a supplier and would like to implement our CSV standard, please use the steps outlined below.


Procedure

  1. Implement the Attached File Specification
  2. Open a Ticket With Our Support Team
  3. Exchange FTP Credentials / Location Mappings
  4. Send Sample File for Validation
  5. Put Integration into Production


Implement the Attached File Specification

Use the attached PDF to build out a process within your application that can export the required pricing information in the outlined format.  These files should be plain-text, CSV files, and can be uploaded to an FTP/SFTP/FTPs site.


NOTE: Please include column headers in the CSV file. The column headers must match the "Field Name" listed in the attached specifications document below.


Open a Ticket With Our Support Team

Once you are confident your output matches our specifications, email support@cloudretailer.com with the subject of "New Supplier Pricing CSV Integration".


Please ensure this email contains your business name, Name & Contact info for a technical contact, and most importantly, which retailer you are working with and their contact info.  We will reach out to any customers to obtain their cooperation and confirmation before moving forward.


Exchange FTP Credentials / Location Mappings

We are happy to provide secure FTP accounts for our retailers for the purposes of Supplier Integration.  Once we have an open ticket and established permission from the retailer, we can provide you with this information.  If you prefer to host your own files, we are happy to make this work as well, and can exchange details at this time.


Send Sample File for Validation

Send a sample file, with real pricing info for the retailer's region.  We'll use this file as a test run to ensure the file will import correctly.  


Put Integration into Production

Once we've confirmed your file, we'll set our end to look for and process new files every day.  When you are ready on your end, set the files to start arriving.
