Ingram Content Integration

Overview

Order Desk can send orders directly to Ingram Content then pull shipment details back into your orders here and send them to your shopping carts, if applicable.

This guide covers the setup, settings and special features with the Ingram Content integration.

Integration Setup

To enable the integration, click on the Manage Integrations link in the Integrations menu in the left sidebar. Under the Fulfillment tab, find and enable Ingram Content. 

Alternatively, search for Ingram Content from the available integration search. 

To connect, choose your Environment, and enter your Ingram Content credentials.

Settings

Environment

Choose between a production or test environment. 

Mail Classes

Select your preferred domestic and international mail classes to be used on orders sent to Ingram Content.

If you need to use set specific shipping methods on orders based on the method selected at checkout, set your preferences in the Shipping Class Match section.

Default Order Type

Select how you want Ingram Content to handle orders based on the stock availability of the items in the order. Options include:

Release when Full (RF): When all line items are allocated, the order will ship. This is the lowest freight charge option.

Dual Shipment (LS): Immediate shipment of all in-stock items. Backorders will allocate as stock becomes available. This will result in up to two shipments per warehouse.

Multi Shipment (EL): Immediate shipment of all in-stock items. Backorders will allocate AND SHIP as stock becomes available. This is the fastest delivery option.

These can also be set on a per-order basis, details below.
