DSW Account Integration

Overview

DSW is an American footwear retailer that sells discounted brand-name footwear, operating over 500 stores and a highly popular website. They offer a dropship vendor program, where you can supply inventory for listings on their website, and customer purchases are forwarded to you for fulfillment.

Sellercloud is fully integrated with DSCO, a cloud-based platform that enables you to manage orders, inventory, and shipping processes across multiple sales channels from a single location. Thanks to Sellercloud’s API-based integration with DSCO, you can synchronize inventory across all sales channels and benefit from an efficient order fulfillment process.

The integration works through the following API plugins:

• DSCO API v3 Inventory Export
• DSCO API v3 Order Import
• DSCO API v3 Tracking Export
• DSCO API v3 Invoice Export

Sellercloud Support

Finally, contact Sellercloud Support to request:

1. To install the DSCO plugins on your server.
2. The required Custom Order and Product Columns:

Required Custom Product Columns

• DSCOItemID – Conditionally required String. This should match the SKU of your listing. You can find it on the Products page in DSCO. If left empty for a product, that SKU will be skipped in the inventory update. However, if the custom setting DSCO_DontSendItemID is True, we will send the Sellercloud SKU instead.

Order Import

The Order Import plugin:

• Gets all new DSW orders from DSCO and imports them to Sellercloud via API. 
• Imports orders as paid for the user DSCO_<CompanyID>@sellercloud.com. 
• Acknowledges each order after it is created, so it will be moved to Shipment Pending in DSCO and will no longer be included in the new orders download.
• Checks for products by matching:
  • DSCO SKU to Sellercloud UPC
  • DSCO SKU to Sellercloud Product ID
  • DSCO UPC to Sellercloud UPC
  • DSCO Item ID to the Sellercloud custom column DSCOItemID
  • DSCO Partner SKU to Sellercloud Product ID

As of version 1.0.1.5, the plugin now supports both the Stream API and the old method to get orders. The only differences are a few custom settings and credentials. The old method will continue to be used by default, where only DSCO_Token is required, as long as the Stream API settings don’t exist or aren’t populated.

If you need to reset the date, use the following DSCO_StreamPosition:

• format: z/yyyy/mm/dd/HH/mm/000
• example: z/2022/09/26/20/19/000

Inventory Export

This plugin exports inventory to DSW through DSCO using API. However, note:

• Products must exist in DSCO in order to be exported.
• You can use the custom product column DSCOSafetyQty to set a Safety Quantity on the product level.
• DSCOItemID is conditionally required – if empty for a SKU, the SKU will be skipped in the update unless the custom setting DSCO_DontSendItemID is True. The DSCOItemID should match the SKU of your listing found on the DSCO Products page.

Optionally, you can enable only specific products for DSW by setting their DSW_Enabled Custom Column for Products to True:

• For one product at a time: go to the Product Details Page > click Toolbox and select Custom Columns > click Edit, update the DSW_Enabled column, and Save.
• For multiple products in bulk: follow the steps to Bulk Update Products and use the DSW_Enabled column – set it to True for all products you want to enable.

Before you move on, you can create a Saved Search if you only want to export specific products. You can filter by:

• Company – Select the company with products you want to sell on DSW. Without this filter, you will send products from all companies.
• DSW_Enabled – True. Only add this filter if you choose to enable only specific products for DSW.
• Optionally, you can add other filters per your preference.
