Wayfair - Enable API Access (SFTP version 1)

This article is for whoever connects a Wayfair supplier account inside DropStream using the legacy SFTP (Version 1) API. You’ll add the store through DropStream’s Add Connection wizard.

Tip: New integrations should use the REST API (Version 2) instead — it’s the current, recommended Wayfair API. Use SFTP (Version 1) only if you’re maintaining an existing legacy connection.

If you haven’t gathered your credentials yet, do that first — Get Your API Credentials (SFTP Version 1).

What you’ll need

• A DropStream account you can sign in to.
• Your Wayfair FTP Username, FTP Password, and Supplier ID — see Get Your API Credentials (SFTP Version 1).

How DropStream connects to Wayfair

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 Wayfair-specific details.

Enter your Wayfair 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 Wayfair as the Platform.

2. Set the API Version to SOAP (Version 1). The SFTP credential fields appear.

3. Enter your credentials:

   Field	What it is	Example
   FTP Username	Username for your Wayfair SFTP feed	acme_ftp
   FTP Password	Password for your Wayfair SFTP feed	••••••••
   Supplier ID	Your Wayfair supplier identifier	12345

   For where to find each value, see Get Your API Credentials (SFTP Version 1).

4. Click Add connection.

Notes

• After connecting, set up the required daily full inventory sync.
