StockTrak LMS Integration Instructions

This guide outlines the process for integrating StockTrak with your university’s Learning Management System (LMS).

Our platform leverages Single Sign-On (SSO) through Edlink, a secure service that allows users direct access to StockTrak via their existing LMS credentials. This eliminates the need for managing separate logins and passwords, simplifying access for everyone.

Important Note: This integration requires the expertise of our dedicated LMS Integration Team. Direct self-service setup is not available. You will collaborate with one of our Account Managers who will guide you through the integration process.

Supported LMS & SSO Integrations

A comprehensive list of supported LMS, SIS, and IDP providers can be found here: https://ed.link/resources/integrations

If your institution’s LMS or SSO provider is not listed, please inform your Account Manager. Our LMS Integration Team will work closely with Edlink to explore available integration options.
