Connecting a distributor

  1. Navigate to Admin > Distributors > Connections
  2. Click Add Connection, select UK or IE
  3. Choose the distributor and enter credentials
  4. Click Check Connection to verify, then save

Region-specific notes

  • Westcoast requires a custom FTP hostname in addition to credentials
  • Exertis UK (SFTP) and Exertis IE (email-based) are separate connections with different auth
  • Stock In The Channel aggregates stock from multiple UK distributors
  • CMS Distribution uses automatic connections — no credentials needed

Troubleshooting

  • Connection check fails — For Westcoast, double-check the hostname.
  • Exertis IE not returning data — Exertis Ireland uses email-based feeds. Verify the email address and customer ID.
  • Prices outdated — Check last sync time and use re-fetch if needed.
