Step 4: Activate new Sellers✔️
Now, let's start by requesting connections. Just follow these easy steps to send your activation requests.
As an Associate Platform Partner, your Customers might have unique credentials for each Seller. This means you might need to request multiple connections with the same Seller, each for a different Customer.
To keep things clear, we recommend adding specific names to your connections. For example: clientname_sellername. Additionally, you might also have several credentials for a single connection Customer-Seller, such as B2B and B2C credentials. In this case, we also recommend using clear names for easy identification. For instance: clientname_sellername_b2b.
