Channel features

Setting up Wayfair

Setting up every channel in ChannelEngine follows the same basic steps / flow, which can be found below. Any channel specific settings or exceptions will be listed in the ' Specific Wayfair settings / configurations' 

• Adding the channel
• Filling in the required settings on the 'Setup' tab
• Creating a product selection
• Carrier Mapping (only if you enabled your own carrier in Setup, otherwise this tab will not be visible)
• Configuring the pricing (Wayfair doesn't support any automated price export, so it isn't actually used)
• Activating the channel (this enables all tasks like exporting product information and importing orders)
• The 'Listed Product' overview (here you can see the status of a product, what we exported and the response from the channel)

Specific Wayfair settings / configuration

Setup:

ChannelEngine requires several settings in order to make all features of Wayfair work:

• FTP host - By default the correct host will already be entered (ftp://edi.wayfair.com/)
• FTP username - the username Wayfair has supplied you for their FTP-server, it will usually consist of something like 'EDI_COMPANYNAME'.
• FTP password - the password belonging to the FTP-server credentials.
• Supplier ID - your Wayfair supplier ID
• Send using Wayfair's carrier account - enable this option if you want to use Wayfair's selected carrier. However, if you have your own logistical partner (which usually is the case), leave this option disabled and use the carrier mapping to set your own carrier.

Carrier Mapping (if enabled):

If you want to use own carrier(s) for shipping Wayfair orders, you will need to set up carrier mapping. This is mandatory, as Wayfair only accepts their specific carrier codes. 

As the codes Wayfair use are pretty vague, you can find an overview with the full carrier name below

If your carrier (such as PostNL or BPost) is not listed above, you are advised to use 'SSOA' as a carrier method.

Activation:

Please note that without entering the required credentials, Wayfair can not be activated.
