# Bonton Account Integration

## Overview

[Bonton](https://bonton.com/) is an online retailer offering a wide range of items, including women's, men's, and kids’ apparel & accessories, furniture, jewelry, and more. Integrating Bonton into your Sellercloud account allows you to seamlessly import orders, upload tracking information, and ensure your listings are always up-to-date with the latest inventory data. This integration works through API, transmitting information between the two services via plugins and [Scheduled Tasks](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630838715868958891). The communication is facilitated through [DSCO](https://www.dsco.io/), a third-party platform. If necessary, open a ticket with [Sellercloud Support](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630831494839563427) to request additional customizations or other plugins for this integration. Note that these customizations are billable, and you will be provided a quote.

DSCO may require testing before you can go into production. To have a dedicated representative complete the testing for your account and ensure that the setup is configured correctly, opt in for [Premium Support](/content/premium-support/index.html).

## Prerequisites

Before you can integrate Bonton into Sellercloud, complete the following requirements.

We recommend creating a [Company](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630838368529930257) where you will set up the [Custom Company Settings](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630848929259288263) and [Scheduled Tasks](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630838715868958891) for this integration.

Sellercloud imports DSCO orders as Website. Due to this, we generally do not recommend more than one plugin integration per company, as it may be difficult to differentiate orders coming in from multiple sales channels.

Alternatively, you can use the [Plugin Wizard](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630837906940475639) to simplify the setup of [Channel Plugin Integrations through Scheduled Tasks](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630858469048870054). The wizard guides you through the required steps and helps you create:

- A dedicated [Company](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630838368529930257).
- [Custom Company Settings](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630848929259288263).
- [Saved Views](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630838405969463824) to target specific products and orders.
- [Scheduled Tasks](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630838715868958891) to run the plugins automatically.

Once configured, you can manage all integrations created through the wizard on the [Manage Plugin Channels](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630838046534405796) page. The workflow outlined below describes the manual configuration process, which does **not** create a plugin channel on the **Manage Plugin Channels** page.

### DSCO Support

Contact [DSCO Support](https://support.dsco.io/hc/en-us) to request your:

- **Supplier ID**
- **API Token**
- **Client ID**
- **Client Secret**
- **Warehouse Supplier Code**

Send an email to support@dsco.io titled 'Create Client Credentials.' In the email, include the name and ID of the DSCO account and the user name with which the client credentials will be associated. When ready, DSCO’s support team will send the client credentials to you. Be sure to store them securely. To get a **Warehouse Supplier code**, you must set up a warehouse in DSCO.

1. Contact the DSCO Integrations team and log into your DSCO account.
2. Click **CONNECTING: Step 1** and continue through the onboarding and testing processes. You choose the **Warehouse Supplier Code** during the onboarding process. You can create it on your [Warehouse Manager](https://app.dsco.io/account/warehouse-manager) page in the DSCO portal.

You will use these credentials and Warehouse Codes to populate the Custom Company Settings outlined below.

### Sellercloud Support

Open a ticket with [Sellercloud Support](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630831494839563427) and request that the following plugins be installed on your server:

### Custom Product Columns

Create the following [Custom Product Columns](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630852553944422166):

- **DSCOItemID** - Conditionally required **String**. This should match the SKU of your listing. You can find it on the **Products** page in DSCO. If left empty for a product, that SKU will be skipped in the inventory update. However, if the custom setting **DSCO_DontSendItemID** is True, we will send the Sellercloud SKU instead.

- **DSCOPartnerSKU** - If this column exists and is populated, it is sent as a partner SKU.

## Order Import

The Order Import plugin:

- Gets all new orders from DSCO and imports them to Sellercloud using API.
- Imports orders as paid for the user **DSCO_<CompanyID>@sellercloud.com**.
- Acknowledges each order after it is created, so it will be moved to **Shipment Pending** in DSCO and will no longer be included in the new orders download.
- Checks for products by matching:
  - DSCO **SKU** to Sellercloud **UPC**
  - DSCO **SKU** to Sellercloud **Product ID**
  - DSCO **UPC** to Sellercloud **UPC**
  - DSCO **Item ID** to Sellercloud custom column **DSCOItemID**
  - DSCO **Partner SKU** to Sellercloud **Product ID**

As of version 1.0.1.5, the plugin supports both the **Stream API** and the old method to get orders. The only differences are a few custom settings and credentials. The old method will continue to be used by default, where only **DSCO_Token** is required, as long as the **Stream API** settings don't exist or aren't populated. If you need to reset the date, use the following **DSCO_StreamPosition**:

- format: z/yyyy/mm/dd/HH/mm/000
- example: z/2022/09/26/20/19/000
