In this guide, we will show you the steps to integrating JOOR with Uphance without breaking a sweat.
Adding the JOOR App
To start using JOOR in Uphance, first, you need to add the app. To do so, log in to your dashboard, and navigate to Apps >> All Apps.
Once on the All Apps page, scroll down a little until you locate the JOOR app. Then click the Add button. Upon clicking, the app will be automatically added to your account.
You will find it on the My apps page.
Configuring JOOR
Before proceeding to configuring the JOOR app, we recommend sending an email to JOOR's support team informing them of your design to integrate with Uphance. When you do, you will likely be assigned a support team to guide you through the integration process. In addition, you will be provided with a sandbox API for testing purposes.
Next, initiate the configuration process. To do this, click the Configure button like so:
Clicking that button will open the JOOR configuration page.
Testing Your Connection
You will want to test your connection in a sandbox before taking it to production.
To do so, on the configuration page, click the Do you want to use Sandbox API checkbox.
Then enter your JOOR sandbox API Token into the appropriate field.
Then scroll down a bit and hit the Test Connection button.
If everything is working fine, request for the live/production API token from JOOR's team. Once you receive the token, uncheck the "Do you want to use Sandbox API" checkbox. Input the production API token and click the test connection button again.
If all went well, you should have successfully connected Uphance with JOOR and are now ready to proceed to the next steps.
Matching Your Warehouse and Inventory to Send
After successfully connecting Uphance to JOOR, the next step is to select the warehouse you want to pick products from and also the type of inventory to send.
You should go for the Available (recommended) option as it contains both stock available and those in production. Furthermore, choosing helps to avoid overselling problems.
