Product Operations
Crow Shooting provides a single integration step to retrieve product data (SKUs, descriptions, images, categories) as well as pricing and quantity details.
Get Inventory & Pricing/Quantity
Yes, retrieving Inventory & Pricing is supported!
Operation Workflow
• We have an FTP‐based approach for this integration.
• Contact Crow Shooting to confirm whether you’re on feed 1 or feed 2. That determines which CSV filenames you’ll receive (e.g., Crowshooting_Flxpoint_1_Products.csv vs. _2_).
• Crow uses three CSVs: Product, Inventory (Price/Qty), and Attributes (firearm/ammo flags). Flxpoint automatically pulls all needed data based on your configured feed_id.
• Your Crow account indicates which feed ID is correct; you’ll choose that in Flxpoint so the correct CSVs are imported.
