    2. If access is granted successfully, you will see your ChannelAdvisor account key. Proceed by clicking Check Connection.
    3. Enter the Distribution Center Code you created for Shipwire within ChannelAdvisor (you must only create *one* DC code in ChannelAdvisor, even if you are using multiple Shipwire warehouses – think of this as a virtual DC code that will receive global Shipwire warehouse quantity, and orders coming to this DC will be automatically routed to the optimal Shipwire warehouse). This is required to have inventory sync working correctly as well as allowing us to pick up only the orders intended for Shipwire if you have multiple DCs. Leave blank only if your ChannelAdvisor account is set to “Single DC” or SDC (typically only very old ChannelAdvisor accounts that refused the “Multiple DC” or MDC account upgrade). If left blank, our integration will work in SDC mode.
