Stock file over SFTP, through Radial

Rue La La stock and Sellercloud, connected

Rue Gilt Groupe (Rue La La and Gilt) takes drop ship stock through Radial's Drop Ship Manager as an X12 846 file over SFTP, and expects a fresh one at least once a day. interSend builds that file from Sellercloud and sends it on a schedule, in the layout Radial's map for Rue reads. The connection starts with stock only, so the system that handles your Rue orders today carries on untouched.

What goes back and forth

From Rue La La into Sellercloud

Nothing, to begin with
A stock-only connection never reads, answers or deletes a file in Radial's folders, so your Rue purchase orders stay with the system that collects them today.

From Sellercloud back to Rue La La

846 stock
Your available quantity for each item, every six hours unless you choose otherwise, after any stock you hold back. Zeros are sent too.
A last 0
A product that leaves the feed, or loses its Rue SKU, is sent once more with 0, as Rue asks before a SKU is dropped.

What is taken care of

  • Every item is named by its 14-digit Rue SKU, read from a Sellercloud product column you choose. A product without one is left off, which is normal for products you do not sell on Rue.
  • A Rue SKU that is not 14 digits, a product with no UPC and two products sharing one Rue SKU are left off and you are alerted, so a mistake in the mapping does not sit unnoticed.
  • The order of the item numbers on each line is a setting. Radial's map for Rue reads the UPC first, which differs from its written spec; if Radial changes the map, you change one setting.
  • The item lines are checked byte for byte in automated tests against a file Radial accepted.
  • Preview any job before it runs: it lists what the next run would create, accept and send, and nothing is sent and nothing changes.
  • A stock feed that would show every product out of stock, or a sudden jump in products at 0, is held, not sent, and you are alerted.

What to have ready

  • Radial's SFTP server, username and password for your Rue vendor account
  • Your ISA ID and qualifier (Radial's receiver ID for Rue Gilt Groupe is RETAILCONV, qualifier ZZ)
  • A Sellercloud product column holding each item's 14-digit Rue SKU
  • Which system handles Rue's purchase orders today, so only one of them reads the order folder
  • Your Sellercloud login, and the company and warehouse orders should go to

Going live, one safe step at a time

  1. 1

    Connect a partner

    Pick the partner, add their SFTP or API details and your Sellercloud login. Each step lists what to have ready.

  2. 2

    Test it on a real order

    Every partner connection starts paused. A test run reads a real purchase order and shows it to you. Nothing is created and nothing is sent.

  3. 3

    Switch it on

    Turn on creating orders in Sellercloud, then sending to the partner, then go live. From then on it runs by itself, on the schedule you set.

Questions about Rue La La

Does it handle Rue La La's purchase orders too?

The connection starts with stock only. Orders and shipments use the same Radial files as a ShopHQ connection (850 orders in; 997, 856 and 810 out) and are one switch on the connection, for when you are ready to move them from the system that handles them today.

Where do the Rue SKUs come from?

A Sellercloud product column holding each item's 14-digit Rue SKU. Radial's portal calls it the Host SKU, and its Current Supplier Inventory report lists every one.

Do I need a VAN?

No. Radial exchanges files over SFTP, which is how this connects.

Can I test it before anything is sent?

Yes. Every partner connection starts paused. A test run reads a real order and shows it to you, and Preview runs any job (new orders, shipments, stock, acknowledgments) exactly as its next run would and lists what it would do; nothing is created in Sellercloud and nothing is sent until you switch each part on.

How much does it cost?

Monthly plans: Starter $199/month (up to 500 orders a month), Growth $399/month (up to 1,500 orders a month), Pro $699/month (up to 4,000 orders a month), Scale $999/month (up to 10,000 orders a month). Orders over your plan's limit are $0.25 each. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. A card is required to start it, and the plan fee is first charged when the trial ends, unless you cancel before then. $750 one-time onboarding, charged when you start, not after the trial.
