The fabric Dropship integration seamlessly integrates with fabric Catalog and fabric Orders.

​
Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you have Administrator privilege to fabric. For more detailed information on these settings, see the Role-Based Access Control topic.
  • You must have a tenant enabled with fabric Product Catalog or Orders & Inventory to configure and use the Dropship fabric integration.

Mapping Product Catalog Data for Dropship

Product data doesn’t automatically sync from Dropship to Product Catalog. You must publish your product data to Product Catalog after updates have been made in Dropship. For product mapping to be successful, the following steps are required:
  1. Product Catalog must be configured. To set up Product Catalog, follow the steps outlined in the configuring Product Catalog developer guide. Make sure to follow step 2 and 3 when configuring product catalog. If you already have product catalog configured skip to step 2.
  2. Ensure the same attributes found in your Dropship template exist in Product Catalog. To view a list of attributes in Product Catalog, visit the searching and sorting product attributes guide.
  3. Ensure the same categories in your Dropship template exist in Product Catalog. To manage your categories in Product Catalog, visit the managing categories guide.
You are now ready to configure the fabric integration.

Safety Stock

To help prevent overselling, fabric Dropship offers a feature called Safety Stock. This feature automatically reduces your visible inventory by a pre-defined amount, effectively showing customers a lower stock level than what is physically available. By doing so, Safety Stock helps you avoid potential oversells and subsequent order cancellations. For example, if a supplier has 5 units on-hand for an item but Safety Stock is enabled for that specific supplier with a value of 3, customers would only be able to purchase 2 out of the 5 units.
