Gateways

A gateway is a set of rules or logic that work to restrict data. With a gateway you can implement controls that ensure some items are only visible in some stores, or you can restrict staff logins to specific geographic regions.

All Products---»Gateway #1---»Gateway #2---»Visible Products

While a gateway is conceptually like security, a gateways primary purpose is to remove excess data.

Using a Gateway to restrict products sent to stores

Each product can be connected to up to four gateways. The first gateway is specific to this product only, and the 3 gateways can be shared gateways. For a product to be transmitted to a remote store if must be approved by all gateways
