Integration with TechData

How to Integrate with Tech Data

This article walks you through integrating your Tech Data account with your Zomentum account. The integration will allow you to retrieve real-time pricing and availability when adding a product to a document, removing the need to manage your products in two places.

Prerequisites

To integrate Tech Data with Zomentum, you will need access credentials to Tech Data's XML Online Check Service. These are different from the credentials you use to log into Tech Data. To request access, you need to contact the Tech Data office.

Following is an email template you can use to contact Tech Data's support team to request XML Online Check service:

Following is the contact information for the TechData team:

Use the following URL for more information on Online check and data pack requests. https://nl.tdsynnex.com/ecommerce

Or the resellers can send an email completely (with the account number and IPs) to "ecommerce.bnl@tdsynnex.com".

Also, be aware that OC XML Data packs are only available for resellers with a revenue of at least 25k€ per year.

If you have access to the TechData XML service and are receiving an Invalid Credentials error when attempting to integrate with Tech Data, contact the Zomentum Support Team.
