Onboarding presets

This page explains the presets available in Spotler Connect and the order in which they need to be connected. You can find the presets in the onboarding section of Spotler Connect.

E-commerce with e-fulfilment

This preset is geared toward e-commerce vendors implementing a sales channel with e-fulfilment. You should select it when you add a sales channel (such as a webshop) to your Connect setup.

It’s essential also to have e-fulfilment through a Connect connector for this preset to work correctly.

Order of connectors

When setting up your account and creating your connectors, please keep to the following order:

  1. E-Fulfilment system (if applicable)
  2. Marketing automation
  3. Primary sales channel
  4. Marketplace(s)
  5. CRM
  6. Activities/Analytics

It’s essential to connect an e-fulfilment system first. This system will become the default source of stock levels and product details. If no e-fulfilment system is necessary in the intended setup, you can proceed with Marketing automation Connectors.

If e-fulfilment is added later in this setup, please contact Connect Support to assist you in adjusting the stock and product settings.
