# Supplier feeds

Bring your suppliers' products, cost prices, and stock into OrderEazi Central automatically with a supplier feed app, and see every feed available.

Capturing a supplier's catalogue by hand, then keeping its costs and stock current, is slow and goes out of date fast. A supplier feed app brings a supplier's products, cost prices, and stock into OrderEazi Central, and keeps them up to date. You install feed apps from the [App Gallery](/central/apps/app-gallery.md).

### Before you start

You'll need:

* **An account with the supplier:** Most feeds need account details from the supplier, such as an API key or a login. Each feed's page says what it needs.
* **The supplier in OrderEazi:** Each feed links its products to a supplier you choose, so create the supplier first. See [Suppliers](/central/order-management/suppliers.md).
* **Permissions:** You need **View Installed Apps** and **Configure and Open Installed Apps**, in the **App Gallery** permission group.

### How to set up a supplier feed

1. In the main menu, select **Apps**.
2. If **Installed Apps** opens, select **View Gallery**.
3. Find the feed, such as **Amrod Feed Integrator**, and select **Install**.
4. On **Installed Apps**, select **Open** on the feed.
5. Enter your account details from the supplier.
6. Choose the linked supplier.
7. Select **Save**.

From then on, the feed syncs on its own. The first sync can take a while for a large catalogue.

### What a feed brings in

* **Products:** Matched by product code, so each sync updates a product rather than adding it again. A description you've changed, and notes or images you've added, are kept.
* **Cost prices:** The supplier's price for your account becomes the product's supplier cost. Feeds never set selling prices.
* **Stock:** The supplier's stock becomes the supplier stock level on the product, shown on its suppliers and in the catalogue. See [Product suppliers and cost tiers](/central/order-management/products/product-management/product-suppliers-and-cost-tiers.md).
* **More, depending on the feed:** Brands, categories, colours and sizes, images, dimensions, minimum order quantities, and branding.

To sell feed products, link the supplier to a pricelist, so its global rules turn cost into selling prices. See [Linking Suppliers to a Price List](/central/order-management/pricelists/linking-suppliers-to-a-price-list.md).

**Example:** You install the Amrod feed and link it to your Amrod supplier. Over the next few hours, 4,000 Amrod products arrive, each with its Amrod cost and stock. Your "Promo" pricelist is linked to Amrod with a 40% markup, so a pen costing R10 sells for R14.

### When a supplier stops listing a product

The product stays in OrderEazi. With **Auto-remove stale feed suppliers** on, which is the default, the supplier is removed from a product once its feed hasn't listed it for 48 hours. The product is also taken off pricelists linked to that supplier. See [Document options](/central/order-management/settings/organization-setup/system-settings/document-options.md).

### When a feed has problems

If a batch of products or stock from a feed fails 3 times, it's listed on the app's **Problems** tab, and the **Apps** menu shows a warning. See [App Gallery](/central/apps/app-gallery.md).

### What supplier feeds do not do

* **Set selling prices:** Use a pricelist linked to the supplier.
* **Deactivate products:** A product the supplier drops stays in OrderEazi.
* **Filter the catalogue:** A feed brings in the supplier's whole catalogue, with no category or brand filter.

Only Syntech can send your Purchase Orders to the supplier. See [Syntech](/central/apps/supplier-feeds/syntech.md).
