Intro

Cin7 is a cloud-based inventory management software that is designed to help businesses streamline their operations, manage inventory, and automate various processes such as order management, fulfillment, and supply chain activities. The Cin7 connector uses an API framework to retrieve Products and Orders information from the Cin7 system. You can connect to your Cin7 account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Cin7 connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.
