Step 1: Set Up Your Integration & Connection

The survey that Logicbroker sent and that you completed, is the kick-off for integration. You should now be ready to proceed with the transition to the Logicbroker platform!

The first step is setting up your connection, testing it and setting up users:

Set Up Your Integration & Connection

There are a variety of options to connect to Logicbroker:

• Portal - all documents can be supported manually through our browser-based Portal.
  • Orders can be manually downloaded, printed or viewed
  • Acknowledgements (acceptance and/or cancels), Shipments, Invoices, and Inventory can be uploaded/downloaded using CSV or Excel via the Portal.
• EDI - we support AS2 (SHA2) and FTP/SFTP EDI connections
  • 850 (Orders) documents will be sent to you via your preferred connection.
  • 855 (Acknowledgements), 856 (Shipments), (810) Invoices, and (846) Inventory documents will be returned through the same connection. We will also be sending/receiving 997 (Functional Acknowledgements).
• XML (API) - using our hosted API connection, you can interact directly with our systems using standard Logicbroker templates.
• XML/JSON (FTP/SFTP) - use our virtual hosted FTP site to trade XML or JSON formatted files.
• CSV (FTP/SFTP) - use our virtual hosted FTP site to trade CSV formatted files.

Based on the survey, we have already received your preferred connection method and set that method up in our system. You will want to test your connection before proceeding.

NOTE: You can change your connection at a later date if your situation changes. For example, if you choose a Portal integration to start, you can swing back to an EDI integration later (or any other method). 

Additional Connection Options

We also offer additional connection options utilizing our Shopify EDI connector (orders, shipments, and inventory) and ShipStation connector (orders and shipments). These options may require a Logicbroker subscription, please contact us at krogersupport@logicbroker.com for additional information.
