Introduction
The sFTP upload feature lets you create orders by uploading a data file onto Paack’s sFTP server. Paack posts the received data to the /orders endpoint.
In this sense, the sFTP upload feature is an alternative to using the Orders API and may come in handy for retailers who don’t use a programmatic way to manifest their orders to Paack.
Prerequisites
To prepare a secure integration with Paack’s sFTP server, get to the Customer Solutions team to:
- Share with us your public SSH key. Find out how to generate an SSH key here.
To prepare files and upload them, you can use:
- A Spreadsheet application like Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers. It will help you prepare the correct format.
- FileZilla or another sFTP client to send your files to Paack.
Data security
The public SSH key you share with Paack lets us associate your retailer ID with a dedicated sFTP folder. All uploads done using your retailer ID will have to be authorized using your SSH key. This is done to guarantee the security of your data.
