Does Heatpunk integrate with Midsummer?
Though existing as a separate entity, Heatpunk designs can be transferred to Midsummer Wholesale by clicking "Looking to build a whole kit?" from the Project Overview page. This takes you to our Kit Builder on the Midsummer Wholesale website. The heat pump and cylinder you have entered will be pre populated. The kit builder will then suggest additional component you may need wich you can edit as necessary. Once finished everything is added to your masket reasy for purchase.
Are Midsummer trade discounts reflected within Heatpunk?
Heatpunk and Midsummer accounts can be linked for accurate pricing. When logged into your Heatpunk account, head to the My Account > Preferences > Connect to Midsummer. Here you can link your accounts by entering the email and password associated with your Midsummer account. Unless a trade link is established, Heatpunk displays retail pricing as standard.
For more information on this topic, see our guide on Connecting to Midsummer.
How do I link my Heatpunk account to my Midsummer Trade account?
Head to the My Account menu on Heatpunk, navigate to Preferences, Connect to Midsummer and log in with your Midsummer credentials. This will link your accounts and pull over trade-discounted prices for you to see while designing your projects.
