Overview
Rue La La is an online retailer that offers members-only access to daily deals and discounts on high-end fashion, home goods, travel experiences, and more, making luxury items more accessible to a broader audience.
Integrating Rue La La allows you to seamlessly import orders, upload tracking information, and ensure your Rue La La store is always up-to-date with the latest inventory data. This integration works through EDI documents, transmitting information between the two services via plugins and Scheduled Tasks. The document exchange goes through Radial.
