Wherehouse
🛠️ Free connector builds on Retail

Your system isn’t on our list? We’ll build it, free.

An in-house ERP, a regional POS, a 3PL portal or an older version of a big name. On the Retail plan, if we commit to it on the fit call, you give us a staging or test login and we build, test and look after the connector at no charge.

What it costs you

  • No build fee On Retail, if we commit to your system on the fit call, the connector is on us.
  • No setup fee Mapping your rules and running test orders is part of onboarding.
  • Live in 14 days or month two is free Counted from the day you give us staging access.
  • Retail starts once you’re live R4,799 a month, month to month, with a named person on your account.

From fit call to live, on your staging first.

Nothing touches your live system until test orders come out right on staging.

  1. Step 1

    Fit call

    20 minutes on your system, your flows and what it can share. If we can build it, we commit to it there.

  2. Step 2

    Staging access

    You give us a staging, UAT or test login, plus any API docs. We build against that, never your live data.

  3. Step 3

    We build and test

    We build the connector, map your business rules and run test orders until they come out right.

  4. Step 4

    You go live

    We switch it on in production. Your named person stays on, and we look after the connector from then on.

What we need from you

  • A system that can share stock and take orders: an API, file exports or a database we can read.
  • A staging, UAT or test login we can build against.
  • An hour or two with someone who knows how your system is set up.
  • The marketplaces you sell on, or want to: Takealot, Amazon, Makro and the rest.

Why the build is on us

A connector we build for you can serve the next brand or distributor on the same system. That’s how the catalogue got to 50+ integrations, and it’s why we’d rather build yours than turn you away.

It also means the connector runs on Wherehouse like every other one, with your business rules on top, instead of a one-off script that breaks when someone leaves.

Honest limits

  • Your system has to share data Through an API, file exports or a database we can read. If it can’t share stock or take orders at all, we’ll tell you on the fit call.
  • We commit on the fit call Once we’ve seen what your system can do. Until then it’s a conversation, not a promise.
  • It comes with Retail Free connector builds are part of the Retail plan, along with done-with-you setup and a named person.

Straight answers

Which systems can you build for?

Most systems that can share stock and take orders, through an API, file exports or a database we can read. In-house ERPs, regional POS systems and 3PL portals all qualify. If yours can’t do any of those, we’ll tell you on the fit call.

Is it really free?

Yes, on the Retail plan. There’s no build fee and no setup fee. You pay R4,799 a month once you’re live, plus any add-ons you choose.

How long does it take?

The same promise as any other setup: syncing with your marketplaces within 14 days of giving us staging access, or your second month is on us.

Who looks after the connector?

We do. It runs on Wherehouse like every other connector, and we keep it working when your system or a marketplace changes.

Do we need developers on our side?

No. We need the staging login, any API docs you have, and an hour or two with someone who knows how your system is set up. We do the build.
