How to set up a Snapfulfil Fulfillment Channel [Step-by-step guide]

Last updated: September 29, 2026

To connect Snapfulfil, first create a fulfillment channel connection, and then set up the connection parameters.

WARNING: This article details the steps to connect using the beta version of this fulfillment channel. The stable version can be edited, but new instances can no longer be created, and its options may differ from those listed here.

Once the connection is established between the system and techOMS, you can push sales orders, pull inventory levels and shipments, send and get receipts, get stock updates, and synchronize inventory.

This is a two-phase procedure:

Create the fulfillment channel
