AspDotNetStoreFront ecommerce platform is well established and one of the best e-commerce solution available on commercial bases from http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com and many other resellers. Linnworks integrates with websites built on this platform using direct API without any technical involvement on your part whatsoever. The system will essentially be able to bring all orders from your website, mark them as shipped on the website and adjust inventory levels on your website. All your selling channels (such as eBay, Amazon, PlayTrade and other selling channels) can be brought into one centralized system and synchronize and update all inventory levels across all channels automatically.
Go to Settings > Automation > Order Books > AspDotNetStoreFront API
Click New
Enter the API details (service URL is the WSI url for you website). Ask your store provider for the URL address and username and password if you are not sure. If you are administrator for the website please refer to http://manual.aspdotnetstorefront.com/wsi/ for more information about AspDotNetStoreFront WSI
Set the default currency you are using on your website in a ISO standard format (for example, GBP for british pounds, USD for US dollars etc)
Site locale is very important as this determines how the datetime stamps are being converted (ask your site admin if you are not sure. If you are site admin you can have a look in web.config to find out the Site Locale, by default select en-US)
Click Test to test the connection
You can enable/disable site by clicking on the green/red indicator (green being Enable and red is disabled)
Some important points to note about your AspDotNetStoreFront integration
All order items will be downloaded from the site with SKU as created when order is raised, including all SKU modifiers. For example if you have Product A in several sizes and colors, the SKU as appears in the order will be Product A SKU + size/color SKU modifier.
If the product doesn’t exist in the Linnworks inventory it will be created automatically when the order is downloaded with Item Number being the SKU (plus any applicable SKU modifiers) and the initial stock level as 0.
AspDotNetStoreFront requires listed product mapping to enable Linnworks to update the inventory automatically whenever it changes in the system. The mapping is necessary for Linnworks in order to be able to update variations inventory levels (such as sizes and colors). It is generally very easy to create such a mapping automatically and Linnworks has several utilities to help you to create and manage this mapping
Double click on the Spanner icon in the list of AspDotNetStoreFront integrated sites
You will be presented with the list of all inventory as defined in Linnworks
In essence what you need to do is to specify Product Id, Variation Id, size (if applicable) and color (if applicable) as defined on the website.
In most cases the system will be able to do this automatically (assuming your color and size SKU modifiers aren’t very complex).
Click Automatching to get the system to create mapping automatically. The system will connect to your website, download all product, variants, sizes and colors and create mapping based on SKU numbers (and where applicable size and color mapping as well)
Where the system is unable to create mapping you can double click on the product line and select the mapping from the prompt or alternatively type the Product Id, Variant Id, Color and Size in the grid directly.
If you don’t use color or size simply leave it blank.
Save the Inventory Config screen
Alternatively you can load the mapping from CSV file.
Create CSV file with the following columns
SKU, ProductId, VariantId, Size, Color
Populate it with data in Excel, notepad or any other CSV file editor
Go to Inventory Mapping click on Overwrite from CSV or Add from CSV and load the file
Note: Overwrite from CSV will overwrite any existing mapping you have, where as Add From CSV will only add mappings where it doesn’t exists.
Linnworks will only submit stock level update to the site when it changes in Linnworks
When you setup the mapping the inventory levels may not be submitted to the site straight away. You need to go to Inventory Adjustment and change the stock level, then sync.
You can review when the inventory level has been submitted and its last known status by clicking Show Status on Inventory Mapping screen
Inventory mapping is kept for each integrated site individually. If you delete the site integration and re-create it, you will need to recreate the mapping as well.
Inventory mapping is applicable only for inventory level updates. Mapping is ignored when order is downloaded, so all order items will be mapped to your inventory by SKU only.
