SOS Inventory - Enable API Access

This article is for whoever connects an SOS Inventory account inside DropStream — a fulfillment provider (3PL) or a merchant who manages their own DropStream account. You’ll add the store through DropStream’s Add Connection wizard. If a fulfillment provider is setting up DropStream for you, you don’t need this page — just gather your SOS Inventory API credentials and send them over.

What you’ll need

• A DropStream account you can sign in to.
• Your SOS Inventory Token — see SOS Inventory - Get Your API Credentials.

How DropStream connects to SOS Inventory

Every store connects through the same Add Connection wizard. For the full walkthrough of the wizard’s four steps, see Add a Connection. This article covers only the Store Setup step, where you enter the SOS Inventory-specific details.

Enter your SOS Inventory details

1. In the Add Connection wizard, work through to the Store Setup step. Choose Create new store, give the store a Name, and select SOS Inventory as the Platform. The SOS Inventory credential fields appear below.

2. Enter your credentials:

   Field	What it is	Example
   Token	Your SOS Inventory API token	xxxxxxxx

   For where to find each value, see Get Your API Credentials.

3. (Optional) Adjust the import settings:

   • Order Import Status — orders with this status are imported to DropStream.

4. Click Add connection.

Notes

• DropStream connects to SOS Inventory with an API token. Generate or copy the token from your SOS Inventory account settings before adding the connection.
