Import products

Before Pipe17 can report inventory levels from Deliverr, you need to make sure your product catalog exists in both systems. To do this:

  1. Add products to Pipe17 using the Pipe17 API or with a CSV Product Import

  2. Wait 10-15 minutes for those products to start flowing into Deliverr

If you are using another connector to a selling channel that has your products (for example, Shopify), you don’t need to manually add products to Pipe17 using the API or a CSV. Instead, simply wait for your product catalog to sync from the connected selling channel.

In step 2, if the same SKUs already exist in Deliverr, don’t worry - they will not be created as duplicates! Instead they should be linked to the existing products in Deliverr, or you can do so manually as described below.

Link products in Deliverr

Once products are in Pipe17 and Deliverr, Deliverr should automatically add an alias or link to the product on their end. This indicates that the Deliverr SKU is connected to a corresponding product in Pipe17:

 

Sometimes, this process does not happen automatically and you will see a 0 next to the Pipe17 alias in Deliverr. In this case, you will need to follow the instructions below to manually link the SKU to a Pipe17 product in the Deliverr portal, or contact Deliverr support to help you with this process.

Troubleshooting

If your Pipe17 and Deliverr inventories don’t match, check the following:

  • Does the product exist in Pipe17 and Deliverr?

  • Does the product in Deliverr have an active alias linking it to the Pipe17 product?

Occasionally, you will see differences between the inventory in the Deliverr portal and the Deliverr inventory shown in Pipe17. Usually this is because Deliverr hasn't pushed an inventory update to Pipe17 yet, so check again a few minutes later. Very rarely, for example when you have just inbounded inventory to Deliverr, the Deliverr portal may not have caught up with their back end. In this case Pipe17 will have the more recent data coming straight from the back end. In this rare situation, the inventory across all views should become consistent within an hour.

If you notice continuous discrepancies between the Deliverr inventory in Pipe17 & Deliverr portal, please reach out to Pipe17 Support.
