If your UltraCart Item IDs and Deposco SKUs are identical, no further setup is required.
However, if they differ, you must map them manually:

  1. Open the item in the Item Editor.

  2. Navigate to the Fulfillment tab.

  3. Specify the corresponding Deposco SKU for the item.

Note: All SKUs must match Deposco’s records for the integration to function correctly.
