Overview
The Bunnings NZ integration allows you to import supplier invoices directly into Fergus so you can assign material costs to jobs and complete customer invoicing faster.
Before invoices will come through, you need to make sure your Bunnings account is configured to send them as PDF attachments - not URL links. This is a one-time change you make in the Bunnings iStash portal.
IMPORTANT⚠️ - Complete this before anything else!
Bunnings NZ sends invoices in two formats: PDF attachments and URL links. Fergus can only process PDF attachments. Many accounts are set to send links by default, which means your invoices will not come through. Follow Step 1 below to fix this.
Before you begin
Make sure you have:
An active Bunnings trade account
Access to your Bunnings monthly statement email (it contains your iStash login link)
Ensure you are logged into your Fergus account and have enabled the Bunnings integration. For more information on how to set up standard integrations, check out our help article → Setting up Standard Integrations
Step 1 - Update your Bunnings invoice delivery settings
You need to log in to the Bunnings iStash portal and switch your invoice delivery format from URL links to PDF attachments.
1. Find your iStash link
Open your most recent Bunnings monthly statement email. You will find a link to the iStash portal inside.
You can also go directly to: https://www.istash.co.nz/bunnings
2. Log in with your Bunnings trade account
Enter your Bunnings trade account credentials to sign in to iStash
3. Update your invoice delivery option
Locate your invoice delivery settings under the 'my details' tab and change the format from URL links to PDF attachments. Save your changes.
4. You're ready!
From your next invoice onwards, Bunnings will send PDF attachments that Fergus can automatically read and import.
💡Tip
If your Bunnings emails already have a PDF attached (not just a link), you're already set up correctly - skip ahead to Step 2.
Step 2 - Import and assign your invoices
Once your Bunnings account is sending PDF invoices, importing them into Fergus and assigning them to jobs works the same way as any other supported supplier.

Troubleshooting
If your invoices are not appearing in Fergus, the most likely cause is that your Bunnings account is still set to send URL links instead of PDF attachments. Log into istash.co.nz/bunnings and follow Step 1 above to update your delivery settings.
