What is Stock Level Integration?
Integrating stock levels will ensure orders placed by end users can be fulfilled and improves the overall experience for you and the user.
The same service can be used to pull our list prices for integration.
We currently have two integration methods, please see CSV and SOAP below.
Integration Methods
A CSV spreadsheet which can be found in your FTP product data access at the following location. Web Data > stock_levels_stock_id_fully_quoted.csv
The CSV file contains two columns of data, the first column, column A contains the product SKU/ stock_id which is the unique reference number for a product in a particular colour and size. e.g 2000 Gildan Ultra Cotton™ Adult T-Shirt - White - Medium. The second column, column B contains the ‘free stock’ amount. This is the stock amount we have at our Distribution Centre.
The CSV file is updated every 5 minutes.
The file will allow you to import or create a form of ‘look-up’ to update your Purchase Ordering System/ Website with stock levels.
A web service is a “dialogue” between two web servers where one web server (e.g., yours) requests information from another web server (e.g., BTC).
This web dialogue is now available as a REST API. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a modern web standard that allows different computer programs to communicate over the web using simple HTTP requests.
BTC’s REST API allows the following example interactions:
Your Web Server – Request (HTTP GET/POST)
Q1: How many of product code 61036, Size: M, Colour: White do you currently have in stock?
Q2: What is my buying price for this item?
Q3: What is the product status?
BTC’s Web Server – Response (JSON)
A1: { "stock": 554 }
A2: { "price": 4.52, "currency": "GBP" }
A3: { "status": "Current" }
Using BTC’s REST API, you can display accurate real-time stock levels, pricing, and product status directly within your Purchase Ordering System or Website.
FAQs
BTC SKUs can be found in our Product Data accessed via FTP.
You may need to involve a 3rd party e-Commerce supplier/ developer to utilise the Stock Integration services. The BTC web team will be able to assist with both integration methods.
There are multiple formats available, including CSV and XLSX, please visit your FTP account to view.
