Storefront
The Storefront integration connects SKU.io to an online store built on the SKU.io storefront kit, a store that was built for you with its own shop and checkout. The store sells; SKU.io runs everything behind it: stock, fulfillment, purchasing and accounting.
You connect by entering the store's address and approving SKU.io as the store's owner. The store issues SKU.io a key of its own, and its owner can revoke it from the store at any time. Orders come in every five minutes; stock, shipments and, if you want, products go back out. See How Storefront sync works.
Set up, in this order
- Connect a Storefront store.
- Choose what syncs with Storefront: stock warehouses, who owns prices.
- Map Storefront products the catalog import couldn't match.
- Optionally, push products to Storefront if SKU.io owns the catalog.
