Product Information Integration

SanMar Data Library (SDL)

The SDL allows you to download detailed product information including unique key, style, color, size, product weight and spec sheets as well as piece, dozen, case and MSRP pricing. Use the customized SDL to download product data and images for specific style numbers, categories or brands that you want to feature on your website.

Please note: The Data Library does not include inventory, special pricing and sale information. You may access inventory, special pricing and sale information from our Web Services API or .csv and .txt files on our FTP server. 

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Our FTP server allows you to download detailed product information including unique key, style, color, size, product weight, inventory, and sale prices as well as piece, dozen, case and MSRP pricing in .csv or .txt file format. 

SanMar Web Services (API)

Our web service API allows you to use our SOAP XML call/response services for product information, inventory, special pricing, purchase order submission, order shipment notification, packing slip information, and invoicing.
