      April 2022 - SAGE Connect

      The wait is over! Our SAGE Connect integration is now available to all commonsku users!

      This addition to the Products tab allows you to search for SAGE products and add them to your projects and shops in-app with advanced search options. 

      What does the new integration do?

      • Allows you to search for SAGE products in-app rather than having to refer to SAGE web
      • Provides more advanced search options
      • Allows you to add products to shops from the SAGE or SAGE Connect tabs

      Using SAGE Connect

      Accessing SAGE Connect in commonsku

      You can access the SAGE Connect database from three places in commonsku:

      1. Connect > Products  > SAGE Connect - you can use this area to browse, tag, or bookmark products from the SAGE database
      2. From a presentation, estimate, sales order, or invoice, click + Add > Product > SAGE Connect to add products from the SAGE database to a sales form
      3. Within a shop, click the Products tab > + Add > Product > SAGE Connect to add products from the SAGE database to a client's shop

      Search filters

      The SAGE Connect integration includes a number of additional search filters you can use to find exactly what you're looking for. No more sourcing products one at a time by individual SKU numbers! You can now search for products by keywords, supplier name, categories, and more!

      Sort

      The SAGE Connect sort feature allows you to sort your search results by specific pricing or search criteria. Don't forget to set up your supplier preference groups so you can easily source from your favorite suppliers!

      Preference groups

      The SAGE Connect integration allows you to source products from suppliers that have been assigned to customized preference groups within the SAGE platform.
