Add ASPOS connector

The ASPOS connector is set up using Connect's onboarding wizard, which includes the following steps:

• Step 1 – Selecting the connector
• Step 2 – Preset
• Step 3 – Authentication
• Step 4 – Connector
• Step 5 – Products
• Step 6 – Orders
• Step 7 – Contacts
• Step 8 – Billing Information
• Step 9 – Summary
• Step 10 – Confirmation
• Step 11 – First import and activation

To onboard the connector, keep the following credentials for the POS at hand:

• API Key
• API Secret
• Shop URL

Furthermore, you will need Rabbit MQ credentials and so-callled 'queue names'. These credentials and queue names correspond to data and queues in ASPOS and can be retrieved through your ASPOS account manager. You will need the following credentials and names:

• RabbitMQ URL
• RabbitMQ Username
• RabbitMQ Password
• Contact creation queue
• Contact update queue
• Contact deletion queue
• Product creation queue
• Product update queue
• Order queue

Step 1 - Selecting the connector

When logging into Connect, click the New connector button on the dashboard. This will open the onboarding wizard.

Select the ASPOS connector from the list of available connectors. If you want to move to a different tab in Connect at any time during the onboarding process, you can save the connector as a draft. When ASPOS is selected, click Next.

Step 2 – Preset

Currently, no presets exist for ASPOS. This means that you can only do a manual configuration. Select this option, and click Next.

Step 3 – Authentication

Fill in the ASPOS API key, API secret and Shop URL and and click Next.

If credentials for the POS are not correct, one of the following error messages will occur:

Step 4 – Connector

This step is designed to allow you to customize the name of the connector. This personalized name will be displayed directly beneath the connector's logo in the dashboard. Furthermore, you will need to fill out the RabbitMQ credentials and queue names here. If these are not available to you, please check with your ASPOS account manager. Fill the fields, and click Next.

Step 5 – Products

This section allows you to choose whether you would like to import products lfrom ASPOS into Spotler Connect. Enabling this setting will allow Spotler Connect to import ASPOS products, in order to correctly import order data. We recommend leaving this setting enabled. If you disable this setting, many if not all order imports will fail. Click Next.

Step 6 – Orders

Next, you decide whether to import order data from ASPOS into Spotler Connect. When enabled, this setting ensures that your POS orders are imported to Connect and can be synchronised with other connectors. We recommend enabling this setting. Click Next.

Step 7 – Contacts

The contacts section provides the options to import contact data to Connect, and to export contact data from Connect to ASPOS. We recommend enabling both settings. Click next.

Step 8 – Billing information

To continue, fill out any remaining billing information. If all information has been filled out previously, this step may automatically be skipped. Click Next.

Step 9 – Summary

A summary of the selected information for the integration will be shown. The blue underlined text is clickable and represents a configuration. Any configuration options that still need to be completed will appear as questions or placeholders on this screen, and must be configured before proceeding to the next step. Once completed, click Next.

Step 10 – Confirmation

This is the final step before the connector is activated. Once Next is clicked, the connector will be created. This means that everything is ready in order for ASPOS to export data to Connect. Click Next to activate the connector.

Step 11 – First data sync

The connector is ready to receive data. New data will immediately be synched as per the configuration. If you would like to impot historical data too, it's important to contact your ASPOS account manager in order to start the initial data export from ASPOS.
