Product Integration | Channel Advisor
Introduction
This article has been written to aide with setting up the Kornit X Product integration with the Channel Advisor platform. This type of integration allows you to send products from the platform to Channel Advisor connected via the advanced settings of your product categories.
Please note that "Export only" in the title refers to products being exported from our platform into their own system, in this case Channel Advisor.
An existing account with Channel Advisor will be needed to enable this integration, without this the integration is not going to work, To enquire with using Channel Advisor please refer to the following link - Click Here. Please note support from Channel Advisor will be assigned to you as they will take a look at your product data and advise on what areas need to be updated.
How To Prepare Categories For Integration Setup
The first step here is to locate the category of which you want to set this integration, naming the parent category "Channel Advisor Integration" would be a good starting point so its clear what the category is. To set the integration imply click the category and the menu below will be shown.
With the integrations simply click into the integrations and select "Channel Advisor (Export Only)" from the list as shown below.
We would advise creating a category structure exclusively for the product you are planning to send to Channel Advisor, with this sorting it will be easier within Platform to add products to the relevant categories.
