Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect Tech Data to Magento?
Spark Shipping provides a pre-built integration between Tech Data and Magento. To get started, create a Spark Shipping account, add Tech Data as a vendor using your API credentials or data feed details, then connect your Magento store. Once linked, Spark Shipping handles product data, inventory, pricing, order routing, and tracking updates automatically — no custom development required.
Does Spark Shipping sync Tech Data inventory with Magento automatically?
Yes. Spark Shipping pulls live inventory levels directly from Tech Data and pushes updates to your Magento store on a scheduled interval. When a product goes out of stock or drops below a threshold you set, your Magento listings update automatically to prevent overselling.
What Tech Data product data gets synced to Magento?
Spark Shipping syncs the full Tech Data product catalog your dealer account is authorized for, including titles, descriptions, specifications, high-resolution images, UPCs, MPNs, brand and category data, and your dealer-specific pricing. If Tech Data provides Year/Make/Model fitment data, that is included as well. All product data flows directly into your Magento store and stays up to date automatically.
Can I automate Tech Data order fulfillment on Magento?
Yes. When a customer places an order on your Magento store, Spark Shipping captures it and submits a fulfillment request directly to Tech Data. Once Tech Data ships the order, tracking information is pulled back and pushed to Magento automatically, so your customer receives a shipping notification without any manual work on your end.
Can I sell Tech Data products alongside other suppliers on Magento?
Absolutely. Spark Shipping supports multiple vendors on a single Magento store. If the same product is available from Tech Data and another supplier, you can link both to one listing. Spark Shipping's Intelligent Order Routing then automatically selects the supplier with the best price or closest warehouse to the customer's shipping address for each order.
How does Spark Shipping handle Tech Data pricing on Magento?
Spark Shipping pulls your dealer cost and MAP pricing directly from Tech Data and applies your custom pricing rules to calculate retail prices on Magento. You can set fixed dollar markups, percentage margins, or tiered pricing structures. When Tech Data changes wholesale cost or MAP, your Magento prices adjust automatically to protect your margins.
