How to Connect your Zoho Inventory Account to the Integration App

Step 2

After setting up your account on CedCommerce's Zoho Inventory Integration app, the next step is to establish a connection between your Zoho Inventory account and CedCommerce. This connection is essential for managing inventory and orders across various platforms such as BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Magento. You have two options here, i.e., create a new Zoho inventory account or connect an existing Zoho account.

Connect With Zoho Inventory

2. You will be navigated to the ‘Zoho Inventory’ page. Login to your account using your email address and password. 


3. Authorize CedCommerce to access your Zoho Inventory account and confirm account connection using “OTP.”



Note: The OTP verification is optional based on Zoho Inventory account settings.

4. Just accept and authorize CedCommerce to access Zoho Inventory information.


This will connect your Zoho inventory account to the Ced solution and help you manage IMS & OMS with all connected platforms.
Note: The Zoho Inventory’s  Organization ID will work as an identifier in the Ced integration app.

Zoho Inventory Settings

Before starting to use the Integration app, please confirm that the specified settings are appropriately enabled or disabled within your Zoho Inventory account.

1. Customer Creation
Make sure to mark the settings "Allow duplicates for customer and vendor display name."
You can enable the setting from Preferences >> Customer & vendors >> General settings >> Allow duplicates for customer and vendor display name.



2.  Item creation
Make sure to mark the settings "Allow duplicate item names."
You can enable the setting from Preferences >> Items >> General >> Allow duplicate item names.



3. Auto Package Number Generation
You need to disable auto package number generation from your Zoho inventory account.
You can do so from the Packages tab,  go to the package list and click on 'new package.'



Then after, you will be navigated to a new page where you can find the customer name, sales order package slip, etc. Select customer name >> choose sales order >> find (Package Slip#) field >> click on the gear icon.



Now simply select (I will add them manually each time) from the popup and save to proceed further.



4. Shipment
You need to disable auto shipment number generation from your Zoho inventory account.
Go to shipments and click on any shipment or add a new shipment  and find edit (shipment)



Once you click on the edit section, you will be taken to another page, find the "Shipment Order#" field and click on the gear icon.



Now select (I will add them manually each time) and save the setting.



Verify that all these settings are correctly configured to prevent any disruptions in the functioning of the CedCommerce for Zoho Inventory app.
