Deliver Autotrader US inventory feeds over SFTP

Automate vehicle inventory delivery to Autotrader using Couchdrop. Connect your existing cloud storage and securely transfer inventory files to your approved Autotrader feed destination over SFTP, without managing a separate file-transfer server.

Couchdrop connects to 30+ storage platforms, including SharePoint, Google Drive, Amazon S3, and Dropbox. Once configured, it can deliver updated inventory files automatically while Autotrader or its designated provider handles listing imports.

• Send vehicle inventory files from your connected storage to an approved SFTP destination
• Automate scheduled inventory transfers
• Monitor file-transfer activity and troubleshoot delivery issues
• Keep copies of transferred files in cloud storage for reference or archiving

1. Arrange your Autotrader feed. Contact your Autotrader or Cox Automotive representative to approve your inventory feed provider and confirm your dealer ID, file requirements, and delivery details.
2. Connect your storage. Connect the cloud storage containing your prepared inventory files to Couchdrop.
3. Set up SFTP delivery. Configure a remote SFTP connection in Couchdrop using the destination details provided by Autotrader or its approved feed provider.
4. Test and automate. Send a test inventory file, confirm the listings import correctly, and schedule automatic transfers.
