Configure product SKUs

Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) are merchant-defined codes that uniquely identify products in a warehouse. It is critical that the SKUs defined in Magento are identical to the SKUs loaded into your fulfillment provider's warehouse management system.

Gather shipping methods

As part of the third-party fulfillment setup, the shipping methods offered in the eCommerce system must be mapped to the corresponding shipping codes used by the fulfillment provider.

Minimum user permissions

When you create a Magento user for API access, we recommend the user have access to all role resources. If you must restrict the user access, make sure the minimum permissions are enabled.
