Creating a Wayfair order connection

To create an order connection for Wayfair in Channable, follow the general steps outlined in our main article on creating order connections. However, below we provide additional information relevant to setting up a Wayfair order connection.

1. Name: Choose a name for your order connection to make it easy to identify.
2. Warehouse ID: Provide your Warehouse ID.
3. Shipping Method: Optionally, add a Shipping method.

Warehouse ID

If you are unsure about your Warehouse ID, visit the Wayfair Inventory Management page, click on Import Inventory, and expand the list to find your warehouses and their corresponding IDs. This information can also be found in Wayfair's help center.

Shipping Method

The Shipping method field is relevant for sellers who have a Supplier Ships on Own Account (SSOA) in Wayfair. In such cases, there is no shipping information in the Wayfair orders. To fully use the order management feature, (especially pushing shipping updates from Channable to Wayfair) please choose a default shipping method that will apply to all orders.

Order cancellation flow

• Channable requests cancelled orders from Wayfair every 10 minutes.
• Shipments and cancellations are updated every 15 minutes.
• Cancellations can only be updated if they originate from Wayfair. Unlike our standard cancellation flow, which supports cancellations initiated by the seller, this integration only supports cancellations that come directly from Wayfair.
