Introduction

Are you looking to automate Helmet House pricing and inventory/stock updates when listing products to eBay, Shopify, Amazon, Walmart.com, BigCommerce and other e-commerce marketplaces and channels?

The Helmet House connection is comprised of multiple separate automations, each performing a function.

You should enable them in this order. Read the description for each section to understand why.

Drop Shipping Modes

There are two modes the Drop Shipping integration may operate in: Manual Drop Shipping and Automated Drop Shipping.

Manual Drop Shipping - On the order page, you manually set order item vendor with a value of helmethouse for orders that may be sent to Helmet House and then save the order.
Automated Drop Shipping - If automated drop shipping is enabled, and helmethousestock is the first stock control field (found under Settings > Selling > Stock Options > Stock Control Fields) that shows the product in stock, SureDone will automatically send the order to Helmet House. In other words, let's say you have 2 vendors you can order the product from - XYZ and Helmet House. In the stock control field setting (mentioned previously) it shows "xyzstock helmethousestock", if xyzstock has positive stock AND helmethousestock has positive stock (as seen in on the item page itself), we'll first fulfill using "xyz". If it shows "helmethousestock xyzstock", and both distributors have the product in stock, we'll send the order to Helmet House since it's listed first.

Helmet House SKU Import

This will create a "helmethousesku" field in your account.
The automation will attempt to link existing products in your account to those in the Helmet House catalog by matching with the UPC of each of your products.
Runs once every morning at the top of the hour.

Helmet House Inventory Update

This will create a "helmethousestock" field in your account.
The "helmethousestock" field will automatically be added as a stock control field (found under Settings > Selling > Stock Options > Stock Control Fields). Any number in this field will be added to the stock sent to your marketplaces.
Connects to Helmet House and updates products with a matching "helmethousesku" with the latest inventory levels for products with valid "helmethousesku".
There are two versions of the integration: Inventory Update and Inventory Update API (newer)
The new version requires API credentials and runs hourly at top of the hour.
The legacy version requires no credentials and runs once per day at 30 minutes past the hour.

Helmet House Orders Drop Shipping

This automation creates orders that have a valid helmethousesku in the product catalog.
Runs every 5 minutes.

Helmet House Orders Tracking Import

Checks the Helmet House system to see if an order has tracking numbers assigned to it.
If tracking numbers are assigned, they will be added to the order in SureDone and sent to the channel the order originated from.
Runs every hour at the 45th minute.
