Integrations in Flashpricer

Introduction

Flashpricer's integration capabilities offer a seamless way to synchronize and update key pricing data from various external sources. This guide outlines how to effectively use these integrations to manage your pricing data efficiently.

Supported Data Fields

Integrations within Flashpricer allow you to synchronize and set the following fields from an external source:

1. COST: The cost price of the item.
2. MIN: Minimum selling price.
3. MAX: Maximum selling price.
4. MAP: Minimum Advertised Price.
5. SALES CHANNEL ID: Identifier for the sales channel.
6. STRATEGY ID: Identifier for the pricing strategy.
7. CURRENCY: The currency in which the prices are set.

Required Fields

For successful integration, each entry must include the following mandatory fields:

• SKU: Stock Keeping Unit, a unique identifier for each product.
• At least one of the following: COST, MIN, MAX, SALES CHANNEL ID, STRATEGY ID, CURRENCY.

Note: If any of these fields are left blank, the system will remove the existing value for that field.

Data Sources

Flashpricer can pull data from:

• A CSV file hosted on a public URL.
• A CSV file on an FTP server.
• A hosted Google Sheet.

Data Import Behavior

All inputs from the file are set to REPLACE the previous values. This behavior has two key implications:

1. Removing Existing Values: If a column exists in the data source and a field is delivered blank, the integration will remove the existing value in that field.
2. Updating Values: Any new values pushed through the integration will update the previous ones.
   
   

NOTES:

• COST from integrations will only override COSTS that have come from a previous integration file. They will not override Manual COSTS set within the system or COSTS that come from an upload (flat file).
• Min and max values are pulled from various sources, such as integrations, uploads, or UI changes, and are continuously updated. Any of these methods can override the others, no matter where the update comes from.

 

Best Practices

• Regularly update your data source file to ensure that the most recent data is reflected in Flashpricer.
• Review and validate the data before importing to prevent unintentional deletions or changes.
• Utilize the REPLACE feature judiciously to maintain data integrity.
