Add Source and Establish Connection

🧭 Phase 1: Launch the Source Wizard +
Open Sources and start the Wizard
Go to Sources (building icon) → + Add Source → Configure Single Source. This opens the Source Wizard.
Step 1 — Create Source
Enter a clear name (e.g., RSR as Source). Then choose the Source Type that best fits how this Source will be used.

Choose the right Source Type

For most RSR setups, we recommend Vendor Warehouse. Use the other options only if they better match how you store and ship inventory.

  • Vendor Warehouse (Recommended): You send POs/FRs to RSR so they ship directly to your customers.
  • Internal Warehouse: You stock items and ship from your own facility.
  • External Warehouse: A 3PL or external partner ships your owned inventory.
  • Product Data Source: Content-only source to enrich product details (no fulfillment).
For RSR: select Vendor Warehouse. This enables sending Fulfillment Requests to RSR and using their inventory for routing.
After selecting the Source Type, click Save & Next.
Step 2 — Vendor Set-Up
Choose Yes (Recommended) to Assign Vendor → Confirm. You’ll enable Vendor reporting and optional portal.
Step 3 — Order Fulfillment
Decide if this source is eligible to fulfill orders:
  • Yes (Recommended): You can route orders here.
  • No: Routing/Shipping steps won’t apply.
Click Confirm.
Step 4 — Order Fulfillment Settings
Use Defaults or No, Customize. You’ll see:
  • Override: Auto Processing (Use Global / Auto Process / Do NOT Auto Process).
  • Commit Stock + Inventory Management Options.
  • Allow Backorders / Cancel Unacknowledged Items.
Click Save & Next.
Step 5 — Shipping Cost Estimations
Pick one:
  • Yes, Use Rate Shopping (Real-Time Estimates).
  • No, Set Up via Rules.
If using real-time, acknowledge you have valid dimensions, weight, and source address. Click Save & Next.
Step 6 — Order Routing Groups
Enable on all routing groups? Select Yes or No, Customize. Optionally mark Default Order Routing Group. Save & Next.
Reminder: Complete Step 1 — Shipping Methods and Step 2 — Source Location in Phase 2 below, then return (if needed) to finalize.
🚚 Phase 2: Shipping Methods & Source Location (Finish the Wizard) +
Goal

Finish the Source Wizard by confirming your Ship From location and reviewing shipping behavior for RSR. For almost all RSR accounts, you do not create a Source Shipping Method here—RSR will choose the carrier and service on their side when they receive the Fulfillment Request.

Step 1 — Shipping Methods (Skip for RSR)
When the wizard opens the Shipping Methods step for this Source:
  • For typical RSR setups, do not click “Add Method” and do not configure a Shipping Method on this screen.
  • Leave the list of methods empty and continue to the next step in the wizard.
Why? RSR automatically selects the shipping method based on your dealer account preferences, order details, and carrier availability. Sending a method from Flxpoint is not required and may conflict with how RSR is configured to ship your orders.

Only create a Source Shipping Method if:
  • Your RSR representative has explicitly confirmed that your account is configured to receive a shipping method via the API, and you plan to map it in your Send Fulfillment Request template; or
  • You are using Rate Shopping with a provider that requires a Source Shipping Method for routing.
Step 2 — Source Location (Ship From)
Enter the Ship From address:
  • Address, City, State/Code, Postal Code, Country/Code
  • Optional: Contact Name, Phone, Email
This address is used for routing logic, rate shopping (if enabled), and reporting.
Finish the Wizard
Review Steps 1–2, then click Save and Complete. The wizard is now finished.
Next: Proceed to Phase 3 to gather the RSR credentials you’ll use for all RSR integrations.
🔐 Phase 3: Gather Your RSR Credentials +
Goal

To connect RSR in Flxpoint, you’ll first ensure your dealer login is active and gather the credentials required to create a single RSR Connection. This connection is created once and powers all RSR operations.

Step 1 — Confirm your RSR dealer portal access
Go to rsrgroup.com and sign in with your dealer credentials. Make sure:
  • You can log in successfully without errors.
  • Your account is active and has access to the RSR Dealer Portal.
If you cannot log in, reset your password or contact RSR to restore access before continuing in Flxpoint.
Step 2 — Gather your RSR API credentials
When you later configure the RSR operations in the Operations section, Flxpoint will prompt you to select or create an RSR Connection. Collect these details now and keep them handy:
  • API URL (Production): https://www.rsrgroup.com/
  • Username: your RSR website login (same as used on rsrgroup.com)
  • Password: your RSR website login password
  • Optional: any RSR dealer ID or account reference you use internally.
How Flxpoint uses this connection: this single RSR Connection is reused by all RSR integrations you’ll configure later, including: Inventory [Primary], Inventory [Secondary], Fulfillment Requests, and Shipments. You don’t need separate logins for each operation.
Next Configure Product & Order Operations 🚀
Now that you have a working RSR login and your credentials ready, go to the Operations section of this doc to set up the RSR integrations you need (Inventory and Order operations). When prompted, select or create the RSR Connection using the credentials you just collected.

 

Product & Order Operations

Now that you’ve finished the wizard, you’ll see RSR has four integrations available in Flxpoint: two for products and two for orders. Get Inventory [Primary] (GIP) and Get Inventory [Secondary] (GIS) keep your RSR stock and pricing updated, while Send Fulfillment Requests and Get Shipments handle sending orders to RSR and pulling back shipment/tracking data. All four use the same RSR connection and credentials you just set up so you can simply choose the operations that match your workflow.

 

Product Operations

Get Inventory Primary imports your RSR catalog including metadata such as attributes, images, titles and description. We recommend running this once daily to import any new items. Get Inventory Secondary is a faster, more efficient operation to import more frequent pricing and quantity updates. We recommend running this hourly. 

Get Inventory (Primary)

Supported
Introduction

RSR – Get Inventory [Primary] imports your RSR catalog into Flxpoint. You’ll (1) connect RSR, (2) choose a few settings, and (3) select a mapping template. When a step is finished, you’ll see a check mark next to it.

On this section
Setup Steps
  • 1Connect RSR: Select RSR and click Save and Proceed.
  • 2Choose Settings:
    • Use Enhanced Description — import enhanced product descriptions from the RSR FTP feed.
    • Archive/Un-Archive Inventory — items not present in the latest feed are archived (qty set to 0). If they return later, they are automatically un-archived.
      Tip: Turn this on in either Primary or Secondary (not both).
    Click Save and Proceed.
  • 3Select a Mapping Template: Choose RSR Get Source Product 1 and click Save and Complete.
What you’ll see
  • Three steps on the page: Connect an Integration, Configure Settings, Define a Mapping Template.
  • Each completed step shows a check mark.
RSR Source Setup — Approval Requirement

Even if you enter your RSR API credentials in Flxpoint successfully, your integration will not start syncing until RSR manually approves the connection.

⚠️ Why approval is required

  • RSR must authorize your API connection before allowing access to live data feeds.
  • This ensures proper account validation and POS indicator setup for your reseller status.

✅ What You Should Do

  • You: After configuring your RSR Source in Flxpoint, contact the Flxpoint Support Team.
  • Flxpoint: The Support Team will reach out to RSR to facilitate approval and confirm the POS Indicator.
  • RSR: Once RSR confirms approval, your Flxpoint RSR Source will be activated and begin syncing automatically. This usually takes about 48 hours.
Configuring Different Account Types

Many merchants use multiple RSR accounts to meet specific dealer or manufacturer requirements — such as maintaining both a Dealer and a Fulfillment account.

💡 Example Scenario

You sell items that must be shipped to your warehouse or brick and mortar address already on file with RSR (ordered via your Dealer Account), while other non-restricted items can ship directly to customers (ordered via your Fulfillment / Dropship Account). This requirement is usually driven by the manufacturer.

To manage this properly, you must separate your accounts in Flxpoint.

Scenario Recommended Configuration
You operate both Dealer and Fulfillment / Dropship accounts Create two separate RSR Sources — one for each account, each with its own credentials.

Watch the video tutorial at the top of this page or click here.
You need account-level routing Orders are routed by leveraging routing groups, routing priorities and potentially shipping policies.
You only have a single account Configure one RSR Source as normal — no special routing required.
⚠️ Important:
  • Avoid using one shared RSR Source for multiple account types. This may lead to SKU duplication, incorrect routing, or order sync issues.
  • If you’re unsure which setup applies to your business, contact Flxpoint Support or your Project Manager for a quick configuration review.

  • Confirm a mapping template is selected (e.g., RSR Get Source Product 1).
  • Test first, then enable any schedules or live workflows.
Images (handled by “Get Inventory Images”)

Flxpoint automatically manages all product images for your RSR integration — there’s no need for any manual setup.

💡 How it works:
  • Once your RSR connection is active, Flxpoint continuously pulls the most up-to-date product images from RSR’s servers and associates them with your products.
  • If RSR removes an image or it becomes unavailable, Flxpoint automatically removes that image from your catalog to prevent broken thumbnails or blank placeholders.
🪄 What This Means for You
  • ✅ No manual setup required — image handling is fully automated.
  • ✅ Always up-to-date — Flxpoint syncs RSR images regularly to reflect product changes.
  • ✅ Error prevention — outdated or missing images are removed automatically to keep your product listings clean and accurate.
Understanding Authorized Reseller Program (Missing Items in Feed)

If you recently migrated from the RSR FTP feed to the RSR API feed, you may notice that some products are missing. This is expected and typically relates to RSR’s Authorized Reseller Program.

⚠️ Why certain items don’t appear in your feed

  • Some items are restricted by manufacturers and can only be sold by authorized resellers.
  • These restricted items will not be included in your API feed until your account is approved for the relevant Authorized Reseller Program.
✅ How to Verify
  • Log in to your RSR Dealer account.
  • Go to Online Catalog → Authorized Reseller Programs.
  • Review which programs your account is currently enrolled in.
  • If you see missing SKUs that fall under restricted categories, contact your RSR representative to confirm eligibility and request enrollment if needed.
🟩 Note:

These restricted products will appear automatically in your Flxpoint feed once your RSR account is approved for the relevant Authorized Reseller Program. No additional configuration is needed in Flxpoint.
