Direct answer
Auto Trader Connect is Auto Trader's API platform for making permitted data and services available inside approved third-party dealership systems.
AutoHub360 uses that connection to bring supported dealership work into one operating environment. The precise functions available depend on the Auto Trader products and capabilities enabled for the retailer.
Connected workflows
The integration connects operational steps that would otherwise sit across separate stock, insight and digital retail views.
Manage supported vehicle records, media, price, availability and advertising lifecycle actions through the appropriate Auto Trader stock capabilities.
Use enabled Auto Trader services for vehicle identification, taxonomy, valuations, Retail Check, vehicle metrics and competitor-market workflows.
Receive supported Deals activity and keep the available customer, reservation, message and part-exchange context connected to dealership follow-up.

A connected Advertiser ID does not automatically unlock every service. Each workflow needs its corresponding Auto Trader capability.

Data integrity
Valuations, retail metrics and market information can influence real buying and pricing decisions. AutoHub360 preserves the source instead of filling gaps with guesses.
When Auto Trader does not return a supported value, the interface shows no data. It does not replace a missing valuation, rating or metric with zero or a locally invented result.
Response handling
Evidence stays attached
Display the documented value and its available scope.
Show unavailable instead of manufacturing a number.
Surface the error and available trace references for investigation.
Connection process
The dealership account, AutoHub360 connection and enabled services must all refer to the right retailer.
Use the dealership's Auto Trader Advertiser ID to associate the correct account.
Establish which Auto Trader products and API capabilities are licensed and enabled for that retailer.
Test the configured account and surface any permission or configuration problem that blocks access.
Synchronise the permitted starting data before ongoing supported updates and notifications continue.
Ongoing operation
AutoHub360 combines ongoing synchronisation with visible connection and error context so dealers can tell the difference between a data gap, a permission problem and work that needs attention.
Reconcile permitted stock and continue with supported update flows.
Receive supported changes from Auto Trader where the capability provides them.
Validate the configured retailer and investigate access failures.
Retain available status and request references when support needs evidence.
Questions answered
Auto Trader Connect is Auto Trader's API platform for making permitted stock, vehicle data, valuations, retail metrics and other enabled services available inside approved third-party dealership systems.
Depending on the dealership's enabled Auto Trader capabilities, AutoHub360 can support stock and advert updates, stock synchronisation, vehicle lookup, valuations, Retail Check information, vehicle metrics, competitor-market workflows, vehicle checks and eligible Deals activity.
No. Access is capability-based. The dealer needs the relevant Auto Trader account, products, permissions and activation for each service they want to use.
Where Stock Updates and the required advertising capability are enabled, AutoHub360 can create or update eligible stock and manage supported Auto Trader advertising destinations and lifecycle states.
AutoHub360 displays supported valuations and retail metrics from documented Auto Trader API responses. If Auto Trader does not return a value, AutoHub360 shows that the data is unavailable rather than substituting an invented figure.
The dealership supplies its Auto Trader Advertiser ID, confirms that AutoHub360 is authorised for the required services, and completes any capability activation needed through Auto Trader. AutoHub360 then validates the configured connection before supported synchronisation begins.
No. AutoHub360 provides the software integration. The dealership remains responsible for its Auto Trader account, advertising package, product licences and commercial agreement with Auto Trader.
