Step 5: Go live

Request to go live

Once you have completed onboarding steps, click on Request to go live. Ace Hardware will review and reject or approve your request. 

 

 

Ace Hardware will push your account live

Ace Hardware will confirm all onboarding steps are complete and will push your account into production. You will receive an email with the subject line "[Supplier]'s connection with Ace Hardware is live!" This email will link you to our production portal.

 

 

Complete post-production steps

Once you are live, you will need to complete post-production onboarding steps. Any settings added in stage will not carry over so these will need to be re-configured in production:

  1. Set up your connection in production
    • API Suppliers: Generate a production API key from the API page
    • EDI Suppliers: Add your production EDI connection from the EDI page
  2. Upload/send live inventory in production from the Inventory Feeds page
  3. Re-configure any stage settings in the production portal

 

 

Set up EDI ID (Portal/API suppliers)

*This step is required for all Portal and API suppliers 

Ace's order sourcing requires all suppliers to have an EDI ID. Even if you are not connecting to Logicbroker using EDI, you will need to set this up anyway for orders to source correctly. 

  1. Collect your EDI ID from Ace Hardware 
  2. In the Logicbroker portal, go to Connections > EDI > My EDI Identifiers
  3. Click on Add my identifiers and create an entry with the Qualifier, Identifier and the Partner as 'Ace Hardware Corporation'
  4. Save
