Channel Advisor

Integration Setup

To set up your integration between EFS and Channel Advisor, you will first need to obtain your ProfileID from Channel Advisor for the account you are integrating with EFS.

You should be able to find this by going to My Accounts > Developer Network > Account Authorizations in the Channel Advisor user interface.



If you have multiple accounts in Channel Advisor, each account will have it's own ProfileID.  Be sure to provide the correct ID for the specific account you wish to have associated.  In the event that you wish to integrate multiple accounts, you will need a separate integration for each account.

You will then need to submit a ticket to the eFulfillmentService support system, with the ProfileID included.  This will be delivered to the IT team to trigger the request for Developer Access to your account. 
After the request has been triggered you will see a listing in the bottom area indicated in the image above.
You will then need to accept the request (this option will be available in the Actions section at the far right) and copy the AccountID associated with the Developer Access request.


Once you have this AccountID, enter the EFS Fulfillment Control Panel and select Integrations > Add New Integration.
From the dropdown menu, choose Channel Advisor.

On the next screen, you will enter your settings for the integration.

Enter the Account ID from Channel Advisor in the first box shown in the image below.

Distribution Center Code

You will need to set up a distribution center in Channel Advisor, and list the associated distribution center code in the second box of this screen.

For information regarding the setup of distribution centers in Channel Advisor, please see the following documentation from Channel Advisor.
(the URL is correct, but ChannelAdvisor's support center internal search appears to reroute the link request to a failed endpoint.  Copy and paste the URL into your browser, or see the image below)
