Pre-Launch steps & Test Scenarios

Once you’ve completed onboarding for both Canal and Orderful you’ll need to run a few tests before you can go live! These tests are called scenario tests and you will be prompted to complete all Canal required tests once onboarding is complete. This article can walk you through how to run scenario tests. You can always keep track of what scenarios need to be completed in the Orderful portal on the Scenario Checklist page.

Going Live!

You’ve completed all of your scenario tests and you’re almost ready to go live! The final steps are:

• Importing products via 832 EDI document
• Sync inventory via 846 EDI document. Canal recommends verifying your product listing and inventory on Canal at this point.

*You will be required to set your inventory frequency to daily.

Now you are ready to go live! Going live is as simple as going to your Relationships page and toggling the Status from Go live ready to Live. This will now allow you to post transactions to the Live stream.
