This guide covers the fastest ways to get your stock ingestion and order placement integrations live with Qogita. Both recommended methods below can be set up quickly and with minimal back-and-forth.

For questions at any point, contact [email protected].


Prerequisites


Step 1 — Stock Ingestion via URL

The URL method is the recommended starting point. Qogita pulls your stock file directly from a URL you provide — no custom API development needed.

To set up: Go to the Qogita portal Integrations → Stock Ingestion. The platform will confirm success or show you what needs correcting.

Not using a URL? FTP is also supported with similar information requirements — set it up via Integrations → Stock Ingestion. Email is available but prone to breaking and not recommended for automation.

Information to have ready:

Field Details
URL The URL where your stock file is hosted
Authentication Method and credentials for Qogita to access the URL
File type JSON, CSV, XLS, or XLSX
File encoding Only needed if not UTF-8
GTIN column Used to cross-reference product SKUs
Inventory column Quantity available for purchase
Price column Unit price
Currency Currency of prices
Update frequency How often the stock file is refreshed
Selling Unit (optional) Smallest packaged quantity — defaults to 1
