Creating Connection

Prerequisites:

Before connecting to the Picniq API, ensure you have:

  • A commercial agreement with Picniq for them to sell your products.

  • Picniq created as a Reseller in Ventrata with retail and wholesale/commission pricing correctly configured.

  1. In the Ventrata Dashboard, go to Connections > Connections.

  2. Press the + New Connection button.

  3. Select 'Picniq' from the list of partners.

  4. Press the + New Connection button.

    Select Picniq
    ​

  5. Select 'Picniq' from the list of your resellers (must be created before creating a connection).

    The connection will inherit the reseller's configuration, like pricing, allowed destinations, products, etc.

    Select Picniq Reseller

  6. (Optional) You can also set the connection 'Name' of your choosing, which may be helpful if you plan to have multiple Picniq connections and would like to differentiate between them more easily in the future.

    📗 TIP

    If needed, you can also allow/disallow products or destinations on the connection level in addition to what you have configured on the reseller, which can be helpful if you have multiple Picniq connections linked to one reseller.

  7. Press the Create Octo Connection button.

Mapping Products

Email the OCTO API key shown on the connection you've created to your Picniq contact and ask them to map your products using Ventrata's OCTO API. Typically, it takes no longer than a few business days for the Picniq team to complete this.

Your Ventrata configuration is complete. You do not need to take any further steps.

📗 TIP

Picniq can access all products enabled on the connection, but you can also provide the Product and Option IDs from the connection page when contacting them to specify what to map.


Troubleshooting

No products are displayed on the connection page.

Verify which destinations, products, and options are permitted for your reseller account and connection. Next, confirm that your products and options are enabled for sale on the Direct API source. If the issue persists, contact our Technical Support.
