Real-time or near-real-time inventory counts for in-stock/out-of-stock status.

Managing distributor connections

Navigate to Admin > Distributors to manage your connections. The admin interface has three tabs:

Tab

Purpose

Priority

Drag and drop distributors to set the priority order. The highest-priority distributor's price is used by default when a product is available from multiple sources.

Connections

Add, edit, test, and remove distributor connections. Each connection is market-specific.

Mapping

Link distributor connections to specific companies for company-specific pricing.

Global pricing settings

Settings at Admin > Platform that affect distributor data:

  • Cheaper distributor threshold — Minimum percentage difference before switching to a cheaper distributor's price

  • Stock days — Number of days of stock to consider a product "in stock"

  • Outdated price days — Number of days after which a distributor price is considered stale
