Main topic: How to sync SKUs and live inventory (possibly hourly) via a 3rd party, and whether an FTP is required or an app alone suffices; Datajet is being considered.
Requirement: Transfer SKUs and maintain up-to-date inventory counts with frequent refreshes (about hourly).
Key question: Do you need both FTP and an app, or can the app handle the entire process?
Guidance: The need for FTP depends on the chosen app’s integration method. Recommendation is to contact Datajet directly to understand their approach and what they require from your side.
Terms: FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for file-based data exchange; SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a product identifier.
Outcome: No definitive decision yet. Action item: Reach out to Datajet for specifics on setup and whether FTP is necessary. Status: Open/ongoing.
Very new to this process, but I’m looking for an app that I can have 3rd party transfer SKUs with live inventory
counts maybe hourly. The question is do I need an FTP and an app or will the app do what I need, I have been looking at Datajet.
I’m not to familiar with this process, please advise
Hi Msmorgan - whether you need a FTP likely will depend on the app you’re using. I’d recommend connecting with Datajet directly to learn what their approach is and what’s required on your end.
