Feature

Automatic product updates

Import2Shop fetches your wholesalers’ data on a schedule and updates prices and stock in the app and in your shop. You decide per supplier what is updated and how often, and what happens to items that are sold out or dropped.

The process

How does an update run?

1

Fetch

At the time you set, the app fetches the current data from the wholesaler.

2

Compare

Prices and stock of existing items are compared with the new data.

3

Recalculate

If a purchase price or RRP changed, your price template calculates the new sales price.

4

Transfer

The changes go to your shop and to eBay on the export schedule.

In the app

What gets updated?

You decide per supplier with switches. The fewer fields, the faster the update runs.

1. Prices and stock

The two most important values, switchable separately.

2. Inactive on 0 stock

Sold-out items are deactivated and no longer sold.

3. Feed tracking

If the wholesaler drops an item, it is deactivated. If you wish, the app also deletes it in the shop.

4. Import schedule

Special cases

What happens to sold-out and dropped items?

Sold out

The item is deactivated at 0 stock, or removed from the shop until stock is back. A minimum stock makes sure the last pieces are not oversold.

Dropped by the wholesaler

Feed tracking deactivates items that are no longer in the wholesaler's data.

Delete automatically

If you wish, dropped items are deleted in the app and in the shop. A safeguard protects you when a feed arrives empty.
