How do I set up a integration with NearSt?

This document describes what needs to be done to set up and activate the integration with NearSt.

Once the integration is active, inventory changes will be sent every half hour, and the complete inventory information will be sent every night. This is important because anything that is not offered will automatically expire after 7 days within NearSt.

Before the setup can begin, there are a number of basic requirements:

• Active license for NearSt
• Known URL
• API token for communication with NearSt

Once these requirements are met, the setup can begin within RetailVista.

Create connector (formerly provider)

First, a connector needs to be created to establish a connection with NearSt. Give this connector the type 'Inventory export' with the source 'NearST'. Specify the upload URL in the URL field and enter the API token for access to NearSt in the Api token field:

Create task scheduling

Next, a task scheduling needs to be created with the task type 'ExportNearSt'. This can be found under extras - task scheduler.

Specify a user under whom the task should be executed and give the task scheduling a clear name. The interval determines how often the task is executed, which can be every half hour or higher. Faster than every half hour is not allowed.

A task will now be triggered every half hour to send the inventory levels to Near.St for the suppliers and/or cash register groups that are marked for inventory export:

 The logs of the created tasks provide a good overview of the progress.
