Add Distributor Credentials on coreFORCE Basic or Standard (Lite)
**The current integrated distributor list is as follows:**
When connecting the distributors to your coreFORCE Basic or Standard (previously lite), it is important to note that in many cases, the distributor credentials required in coreFORCE Lite are not the same as the login and password you use on the distributor's website.
Every distributor requires different set of information for connection to be successful. To set up a new distributor in coreFORCE Basic or Standard, please do the following:
1. Contact the distributor and make sure that you are authorized to use their API for accessing product inventory and placing orders. You may need to request an API key if they do not automatically issue one. If you are switching to coreFORCE Basic or Standard from a different platform, let the distributor know that you are now using Coreware. Note: distributor will not recognize coreFORCE Basic or Standard, please make sure to mention Coreware.
2. Go to the Distributors Credentials page on your coreFORCE Basic or Standard. Include the required information for each distributor you have access to.
The following is the list of credentials that coreFORCE needs:
Amchar: Customer Number and Username (Connection Key). Password is not used; that field can be "n/a".
