The Monta source is currently in beta. Ask your Eyk contact person for access.
What Eyk builds from this data
Eyk copies what happens after checkout into your own BigQuery project: shipments, returns and stock. BigQuery is the data warehouse Eyk sets up for you. Data from all your warehouses and returns platforms lands in the same tables.
In Canvas and Alvin AI, these tables show up as Returns, Logistics, Stock and Stock Locations. Eyk links each return and shipment to its order from your store platform, so connect that too. To open your BigQuery project, click Google BigQuery at the bottom of the Eyk sidebar.
Monta fills all 4 tables. Your stock history starts when you connect Monta, because Monta only reports your current stock.
