What are you trying to do?
Choose the business outcome you want to automate.
Connect your platform is the Credential connector path when your tool already supports ScanSource. Build Partner Direct is deeper — APIs, EDI, or custom / SI-owned integration.
Get real-time pricing
Recommended path: Hybrid
Typical outcome: Partner-specific cost and availability appear in quoting, CRM, or ecommerce — less spreadsheet chase.
Example platforms: QuoteWerks, VARStreet, Salesforce
Complexity: Low
Building blocks: Pricing & Availability · Inventory
Start with a credential connector when your quoting or commerce tool already claims ScanSource support; otherwise Partner Direct for live price into custom or SI-built flows.
Next step: Review Popular platforms for Credential connector quoting tools, or create an account to request pricing access.
Action: Popular platforms
Build a product catalog
Recommended path: Hybrid
Typical outcome: Storefronts and internal systems stay current with ScanSource product data and availability.
Example platforms: VARStreet, Kaseya Quote Manager, D-Tools
Complexity: Medium
Building blocks: Pricing & Availability · Inventory
Prefer platform catalog feeds or connectors when available; Partner Direct when you own the catalog pipeline in middleware or iPaaS.
Next step: Browse Popular platforms for catalog feeds, or create an account to open catalog journeys after Active.
Action: Popular platforms
Submit orders electronically
Recommended path: Hybrid
Typical outcome: Orders flow from quoting, commerce, or ERP systems directly into ScanSource without manual re-entry.
Example platforms: VARStreet, NetSuite, ConnectWise
Complexity: Medium
Building blocks: Sales Orders · Pricing & Availability
Use a commerce or PSA connector when it already submits to ScanSource; otherwise Partner Direct (APIs and/or EDI) after entitlement.
Next step: Create an account and request order automation access after your Hub user is Active.
Action: Create your Integration Hub user
Track shipments and invoices
Recommended path: Partner Direct / SI
Typical outcome: Ops and finance see shipment status and retrieve invoices without status-call loops.
Example platforms: Spark Shipping, NetSuite, Celigo
Complexity: Medium
Building blocks: Shipments · Invoices · Sales Orders
Most partners need Partner Direct or iPaaS for shipment and invoice automation; a few shipping platforms claim credential-style connectors — confirm with the vendor.
Next step: Create an account to open shipment and invoice journeys after Active — confirm any shipping connector with the vendor first.
Action: Create your Integration Hub user
Connect your platform
Recommended path: Credential connector
Typical outcome: Your quoting, CRM, commerce, PSA, ERP, or iPaaS tool talks to ScanSource using organization credentials — not a custom API project.
Example platforms: QuoteWerks, VARStreet, ConnectWise, ChannelOnline
Complexity: Low
Building blocks: Pricing & Availability · Inventory · Sales Orders
Browse Popular platforms for Credential connector rows first. Partner Direct / SI rows mean custom or SI-owned work, not org-credentials-only setup.
Next step: Review supported platforms before selecting a connection path.
Action: Popular platforms
Build Partner Direct
Recommended path: Partner Direct / SI
Typical outcome: Custom middleware, EDI, and event-driven updates cover flows a prebuilt connector cannot.
Example platforms: Salesforce, NetSuite, Celigo, Boomi / Workato / MuleSoft / Jitterbit
Complexity: Higher
Building blocks: Pricing & Availability · Inventory · Sales Orders · Shipments · Invoices
Choose Partner Direct when you need object-level control, high-volume EDI, or an SI/iPaaS owns the integration — specs and Try It after Active.
Next step: Create an account to unlock Partner Direct journeys, specs, and Try It after Active.
Action: Create your Integration Hub user
