Storis Account Integration

Overview

Storis is a platform designed specifically for the furniture, bedding, and appliance retail industry. It provides comprehensive software solutions and supports both in-store and online operations, making it a robust solution for modern retail challenges.

Storis distinguishes between two order types: Pickup for in-store retrieval and Delivery, where they ship the order to the customer. Integrating Storis allows you to synchronize their platform with Sellercloud. The integration works through API, transmitting information between the two services via plugins and Scheduled Tasks.

If necessary, you can open a ticket with Sellercloud Support to request additional customizations or other plugins for this integration. Any such modifications will be billable.

Prerequisites

Before integrating Storis into Sellercloud, you must complete the following requirements.

Sellercloud Support

Open a ticket with Sellercloud Support and request the following plugins to be installed on your server:

• Storis API Order Export – Exports orders from Sellercloud to Storis.
• Storis API Update Picking Status Order Export – Imports order status updates from Storis to Sellercloud.
• Storis API Product Inventory Update – Imports inventory from Storis to Sellercloud.

Custom Company Settings

Create the following Custom Company Settings on the company created for the integration:

• StorisAPI_Username – Enter your Storis username.
• StorisAPI_ClientSecret – Enter your Storis client secret for API authentication. You can contact their support team for assistance with obtaining it.
• StorisAPI_UseTestAPI – Enter True to use a testing environment or False for production.
• StorisAPI_LastDateRan – The Order Export plugin updates this column automatically.
• StorisAPI_WHMapping – Map Sellercloud Warehouses to Storis Inventory Codes. The expected format is SCWHID_StorisCode,SCWHID_StorisCode. For example, if you have warehouses with IDs 123 and 234, and the corresponding Storis Inventory Codes are code1 and code2, you must enter 123_code1,234_code2.
• (Optional) StorisAPI_DefaultSellLocationID – If this setting is populated, Sellercloud will send its value as the Sell Location ID if that field is blank.

Custom Product Columns

Create the following Custom Product Columns:

• (Optional) Storis_Enabled – Use this column to enable only specific products for Storis. Set to True for any products you want to update with the Inventory Update plugin.

Update Inventory

The Storis API Product Inventory Update plugin imports inventory updates from Storis to the corresponding warehouses in Sellercloud.

Optionally, you can enable only specific products for Storis by setting their Storis_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 Storis_Enabled column, and Save.
• For multiple products in bulk: follow the steps to Bulk Update Products and use the Storis_Enabled column – set it to True for all products you want to enable.

Unlike core integrations, plugin integrations don’t require products to be in the company with the scheduled tasks. The export will include the products you select with your Saved Search.

Next, create a Saved Search for products filtered by Storis_Enabled – True. Optionally, you can add more filters to the search to narrow down the export further.
