Overview

Stitch takes the pain out of running a multichannel business. With centralized inventory and the most powerful features and integrations at your fingertips, you’ll have more time to do the things you love.

Account Setup

Before linking an eFactory account to your Stitch account, make sure you have enabled both option "Multi-Warehousing" and "FBA/3PL Stock Control & Multichannel Fulfillment". Select the menu "Stitch Settings" on the top/right of your Stitch portal and review these options in SETTINGS/General Settings.

Product Mapping

Once you have linked your eFactory account to your Stitch account (see  Access to Stitch Connector), you will find a new channel called "DCL Logistics" under Integrations/MANAGE CHANNELS on your Stitch portal. On the 'LISTINGS' column you will see the total amount of products defined in DCL Logistics and how many need to be linked to your Stick Inventory (you should see the DCL Logistics products within 10 minutes from your first eFactory/Stich link account procedure).

NOTE: Stitch will try to automatically link any DCL Logistics product with the corresponding Stitch product if a matching SKU can be found.
